Batman Vengeance is a videogame based on the Batman character from DC Comics and on the television series The New Batman Adventures. The game was created by Ubisoft, which
also published it, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics, that hold the intellectual rights to the character. It was published for the Xbox, the GameCube, the PlayStation 2, the Game Boy Advance and the PC. The game first appeared in 2001.
In the game, Batman faces one of the toughest periods in his career as a crime fighter. Apparently, all is well, as the Joker is killed while fighting Batman - but a new wave of crimes erupts throughout Gotham and it seems that all of them are somehow connected. Batman is forced to become a fugitive and go underground after mysterious forces frame him for an attack on Police Commissioner Gordon. Obviously, he needs to find out who is behind all the attacks before they take over the city.
The game looks very good and boasts of a stellar voice cast, with most of the actors that voiced the animated series mentioned above also doing work for the game. The graphics are low key and try to transmit the feelings of insecurity that Batman is experiencing as his very existence is being threatened. Most critics agreed on that the game managed to perfectly capture the general feel of the television show.
The gameplay combines different genres, mixing traditional platforming play with some vehicle based chases and combat sequences.
GAMEPLAY HINTS
Envelopes
Batman can find hidden envelopes throughout the game. The first one is on the Rooftop Battle level, the second is on the Bridge level, the third is on the Plant Electrocution 2 level, the fourth is on the Gasworks Level, and the fifth is on the SWAT Chase level. If you find one, it will have a letter on it. They unlock infinite weapons, infinite charge bar, infinite health, double damage, and invisibility. They are awarded by the order found, and not the letter.
Bridge: Envelope B
Knock out the thug at the start of the level. You should see the glowing item on the left when you start. Climb the ladder and jump/glide around the crate onto the other crate. Then, glide onto the platform with the letter.
Gasworks: Envelope E
You will reach a room with two levels, each floor with two goons on them. First, take out the goons. Look around on the lower floor until you see a sewer pipe with boxes in the sewage. Carefully glide down and land on the first box. Jump over the next few boxes and pick up the envelope with an "E" on it. Finish the game and the "Infinite Health" cheat will be unlocked.
