Batman in Video Games - Part II

Before reading any further, it's advised that you check out the first part of this feature right here!

It was obvious that run-of-the-mill ideas weren't working. Batman and his universe needed some fresh ideas and the freedom to do things that his fans expected him to. With a new generation of consoles in the market (PS2, Xbox, GameCube), developers had a lot of freedom and new ideas to make a Batman game that could finally do justice to the character. Which is exactly what made the next offering such a defining point in Batman's video game history...

Batman Vengeance (2001)
PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC

Batman vs. Joker — A fight that never gets stale

Ubisoft had finally done it! Not only did they make a good Batman game, they also managed to get him to do a bit of adventuring as well (and not just keep beating up mindless goons). Based on the Batman animated series, Batman vengeance gave players a real sense of control over the caped crusader, with his being able to use the grappling hook when required, indulge in a bit of puzzle solving, and actually be a detective for a change.

Batman games are incomplete without this sequence

Though the game was definitely a step in the right direction, it wasn't perfect. There were some issues that made controlling Batman a bit difficult to maneuver in tricky levels. But gripes aside, fans knew that the perfect Batman game wasn't too far away. Little did they know.
