...an open-world Batman game with vehicles, multiple characters, location and time-based quests, hidden question marks, and DETECTIVE MODE? Is this game actually super-ambitious and ahead of its time? That sounds like the Arkham games.
It’s even MORE ambitious than the Arkham games in all honesty! The Arkham games have never given us a fully explorable Gotham City complete with Wayne Manor, Arkham Asylum, and the Batcave but here they all are in this broken PS1 shitfest based on the worst Batman movie ever!
I was thinking the same thing and tbh, maybe if someone went back and sorted the controls, upped the view distance and messed around with the lighting, the game might actually be half decent
He's overlooked so many Batman games. Genesis had a fun but ridiculously hard Batman & Robin animated game. There was also the really dated and clunky games based off of the New Batman Adentures, and the worst of them all: Batman: Dark Tomorrow.

@@tartuffethesprywonderdog5883 Makes sense. Like you said, at that time most 3d games were impressive, but they don't look very good at all on an HD tv. For the 8 and 16-bit eras, they became smoother.
Mike worked hard for the setup to this joke, but it was funny enough that it was 100% WORTH going back in time to the 90's and getting them to make this shitty movie, and then to make a game based on it.
I used to own this as a kid. After you complete a mission you have to collect clues to find the next location and there is a specific time you have to be there at. If you don't find it in time, you miss the mission. It's a cool idea, too bad the execution is so poor. If you do an AVGN episode on this, please play a bit more, so you can show this too.
Ironically, in an age where the mobile and AAA markets are flooded with so many loot boxes, pay-to-win microtransactions, attempts to join the “live service” gold rush, countless different editions released at once to overwhelm and confuse customers, half-baked releases relying on the promise of later patches, PC launcher exclusivity deals, always online connectivity requirements, etc. we could really benefit from more developers and publishers taking that quote to heart.
I feel like every single thing that has to do with "Batman & Robin" was some sort of wacky scenario like in "The Producers" where everyone involved was just trying to make the worst thing they possibly could.
I have a feeling this would have been a great April Fools prank lol! 😂😂😂 Also when Batman jumps he kind of looks like a neighbour trying to look over a tall fence lol! 😂😂😂
It's kind of a shame, the game is clearly very ambitious for the time. Practically open world with lots of different features, and pretty solid models and textures. It's just hampered by the design limitations of the era. 3D control schemes didn't really get worked out until later in the generation with the standardization of analog sticks. The darkness is in part there to mask the low draw distance.
@@Selrisitai Aside a few exceptions i see that low draw distance quite often on the PSX era, and just as often hidden with darkness, or Fog that became iconic for a franchise or two. ;) Darkness was spot on for Batman, particularly since most of the action in the B&R movie itself is at night. I remember most if not all Tomb Raider games in the PS1 had a similar situation, Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver had it too...
Long ago, I rented this game and did the big mistake of not taking the instruction manual. Movesets were not explained in the game, so I got stuck really quickly.
@@akeelfrancis1311 Startropics i have beaten many times, never played Willows or ever heard about it, before i found that game random on YT. But Willow looks fun
@Ash Deth Mike said many times he will play whatever he feels like and this is the same for many people so it's best just do your suggestion then move on. BTW I love Startropics.
funny thing is, although it is pretty terrible, it actually is kind of impressive. it had a fully detailed open world gothem with a city map...in 1998 on the ps1, you could rotate between three characters with different vehicles, and it had a real time detective system where if you didn't solve or find clues in time, you could actually miss crimes taking place. this is pretty damn ambitious stuff.
Nothing's sadder than a game that tries it's hardest to be innovative and falls flat on it's face, batman: dark tomorrow is even worse in some ways since they had you do stealth with a camera that was like Resident evil!
It might have actually been a decent game back in the day, it just hasn't aged well. I've never played it myself, but it certainly doesn't look that bad to me. The two main issues seem to be the controls and lack of direction. The controls can probably be forgiven, because tank controls were a thing back then. They aren't good, but you do get used to them and they are tolerable. Resident Evil and Silent Hill had them, and both were(and still are) fantastic games. However, the lack of direction isn't so forgivable. That was a problem with many NES era games, but this is a 1998 PS1 game. By that time you almost never saw that issue come up in any game whatsoever, so that is certainly a rather big flaw. But overall, I think they are being a bit unfair. You have to judge a game based on when it came out. You can't judge an old game by today's standards, because that's obviously very unfair.
Ironically, it was actually delayed numerous times lol. Evidently, the people who were in charge of making this game come to life just royally screwed it up completely. It’s utterly poopy.
You’ve not played a lot of PS1 games my friend , this is awful, tekken 2 or 3 , or silent hill ,or colony wars , or spyro or crash bandicoot look way better than this
I remember saving for months to buy this game when i was a kid. I got so pissed how bad it was i kept playing until i switched from loving batman to hating him....
Resident Evil controls are fine, and haven't changed much from 1-7. You still press up to move forwards and left and right to turn. It's just the perspective and camera angles that are different.
LJN never had a video game development team. LJN was only a publisher of video games. All of the video games that were distributed by LJN were developed externally by other companies.

1 player only....
Acclaim took over LJN. It's true, Google it. That explains this game, the LJN team inside Acclaim probably developed it!
LJN never had a video game development team. LJN was only a publisher of video games. All of the video games that were distributed by LJN were developed externally by other companies.
If there is one thing I like about this game, it is that the game actually has some nice graphics and the city looks actually not so bad!
22:42 James was like aw...uhh 😂😂😂
It's not because it's dark. That's literally the draw distance of rendered graphics...
How does James always look well rested and mike looks like he’s been on coke binge
Mike is up late doing streams
Remove looks from the comment, but don't tell the cops! How else is Mike going to play all those games.
Mike's a good looking guy.
The Thoro Network lmao
Should be renamed to: James and Mike lose their mind over a game and its manual
That's gonna be the name for a future ytp based off of this...
12:40 Mike's "can't you just walk over it" went totally unacknowledged...
"James,press the DO button"
😂🤣
2:37 I like how you changed the text lol
