Batman Forever follows the same plot as the movie. Two-Face and the Riddler are up to no good and it's up to Batman and Robin to stop them and their henchmen from wrecking Gotham City.

Graphics: 8
I'd have to admit the graphics are pretty good. Batman and Robin look pretty realistic for Super Nintendo and so do Two-Face and Riddler. The background always looks dark like the devlopers couldn't come up with any good ideas.

All other things look ok.

Sound: 6
The sound in this game is pure crap, especially if you play this more than once it gets annoying. Everybody sounds the same when you punch or kick them or uppercut them.

Like Final Fight 3 the grunt of people dying is lame.

Gameplay: 6
Gameplay isn't bad but the game is still boring. There's moves like uppercut and roundhouse there's weapons to use which are useless in my opinion. There's secret weapons which are almost impossible to get.

Then there's the two-player mode where you can either beat the crap out of each other or the computer in training mode. When you're
beating up people with a friend or by youself in training mode it's SO easy and that's very boring. You pick your enemy beat em up and every time you kill them the difficulty goes up and that's still easy.

Overall: 6
Overall it's a 6. I'd give a 5 but I'll be nice. Good graphics, crappy sound and crappy gameplay.

This game could've been worked on for few hours more but it seems the devolpers and publishers were probably lazy.

But if you're bored and looking for a game to play play Batman Forever but only if you're desprate

Oh my goodness. Can you please stick this one back in the fryer? I don't think this one's done.

But Acclaim did, and they even put it on the market to further sully the Batman name and make the citizens of Gotham City just a little more unnerved. For those of you who know what I'm talking about, yes, I did give this game a 4. One for Batman, one for Robin, one for the clown who shoots bubbles in level 3, and one for the goo gun, which is without a doubt the best idea for a pacifist's weapon. If there were a control category, however, I'd give it a 1--how the heck are you supposed to use all the wepons and stuf in this game? I had to guess on quite a few, and even if you have the manual, you'll struggle to find out how to use the secret items (after finding all four of their rather well-hidden prints). The controls in and of themselves suck, as you watch yourself getting creamed by the nut with the flamethrower who sez "fugeddaboudit" two and a half times when you do die. The sprites and sounds are total rips, with little or no quality to them, and the AI is like Sugar and Spice--too sweet and easy to deal with at some times, then later you get burned for no apparent reason. (Hint: If you can fight one enemy at a time, it is usually pretty simple.) I don't know anyone who has beaten the entire game, although I suppose it is possible, since not everyone gets sick of games as fast as I do. I say, put this one back in the fryer. As a matter of fact, forget about the fryer. This bat is lame, forever.
