  • A complete playthrough of Acclaim's 1996 PlayStation beat 'em up arcade port, Batman Forever: The Arcade Game.
    Played through on hard mode. I think I about had a nervous breakdown during practicing this game so much, I don't ever remember playing such an awkward and absurdly difficult Final Fight brawler style game- this really is a harder game than Streets of Rage 3. And it's nowhere near as good. Given that this was Acclaim's first in-house developed arcade game, when viewed against the general quality of anything they produced, this game's general mediocrity is hardly surprising.
    I do love the hideously campy shuffle walk, and the really cheese moves that try to mimic Turtles in Time (when Batman kicks the guy straight into the screen, or uses the grappling hook), and the one-liners are pretty awesome.
    But seriously, even on easy, this game is painfully hard. Don't torture yourself unless you are extremely good at these games and have a ton of patience to learn all the weird quirks in this one. It can be fun if can dedicate the time do that :)
    Just make damned sure to not confuse it with the 16-bit game of the same name! Why, you might ask? Well, see for yourself: • Batman Forever (SNES) ...

    I like how accurate Batman’s model is in the character select screen then you start playing and the yellow emblem gets stretched out and looks like it’s even on the cape

    The transitions and effects are seamless, making the viewing experience even more enjoyable. The sound quality is crystal clear, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the game. Your skill level is off the charts. I'm in awe of how you can navigate through those challenging levels with such ease. It's inspiring to watch and motivates me to improve my own gaming abilities. I've been a fan of your channel for a while now. I just wanted to say that your content never disappoints. Whether it's a Let's Play or a tutorial. I always enjoy watching and learning from you.

    For an Acclaim game that's on the PS1, it's surprisingly okay. While the controls are questionably a challenge to get through, the graphics and gameplay are really smooth. One problem is that it may be too fast paced, which might overwhelm you and the entire screen chock full of enemies. If I have to give Acclaim credit for is that the loading time isn't very bad.

    Even worse than I remembered it. Awful graphics that have aged very poorly, terrible colors too, and beneath the surface it's also fairly poor technically: no parallax scrolling, bad scaling that makes sprites highly pixelated even at a distance, very few frames of animation, excessive speed, characters that slide around rather than walk. The latter details also impact the gameplay negatively. Those special moves are ludicrous even by SchumBat's standards.
    At least it seems they ported it quite well on the PS1, considering it originated on Sega's ST-V hardware, but it's of little consolation.
