Batman Forever Arcade

Noticed this game has been featured on AVGN channel today.




I can understand why many don't like this game, but the deep passionate hatred many have for it I find a little harder to understand. To me, it's just an average game, with the only reason I obtained it being that I was a fan of the genre. The game is hard and unfair at times, but it is more balanced if you play with two players. Personally, I like the fast paced nature of it, and it does have it's charm. What surprised me most was seeing people in the comments section of the video arguing over whether $109 is a good deal for the North American version of the game. Personally, I think it's not. Some guys were even claiming it was Candian Dollars, but even factoring that in. They still paid too much. After all, I was able to obtain the PAL version for about $35 over a year ago.

A game that seems really cool when you see it on youtube but when you play it, it s pure sh%t.
The game is much too hard and animation is non sense, characters are walking too fast, it s unplayable.
Another digit motion pointless effort from acclaim in the mid 90s

Acclaim in many ways were the LJN of the 90's. This game ironically, was one of their better showings.

Yes they did worse that is true.
But in terms of digit graphix coherence i prefer dragonhearts on saturn. A shame the game is a pain to play with monstruous difficulty and terrible hit box settings.
Another try another miss.

Im surprised that they didn't shit all over it. Seemed like they actually somewhat enjoyed it.

I personally have not played the game yet, but every time I watch it I want to. I will know going in that it is massively flawed but I can always seemingly find enjoyment with flawed games. So im up for the challenge  The fact that its a Batman themed beat em up is enough for me to fight through it a bit.

The soundtrack is the best part of the game. A seriously ugly beat em' Up that at times can get extremley chaotic for its own good. It's main problem is it gets repetitive far too quickly and definitely could have done with save points. It's okay in small doses. Not unplayable by any means but there are better beat em' ups on the Saturn. I have a feeling you may enjoy it though Derek. Definitly more tolerable by the Action Replay cheat codes.

Thanks Sync, we see eye to eye on a fair amount of stuff so I trust your words

Awful video, the minute one of the guys hosting it said it looked great for the 90s I just switched off looks and plays terrible. My friend did a video on it as well and they gave it the true kicking it deserves.

Best left to die hard collectors only:
