Platform: PS2
Publisher:  Who gives a shit
As cool as: plastic underwear
Rating: 3

If I had a dollar for every time somebody put out a shitty video game based on a comic book/ movie, I would have enough money to by a pair of Pam Anderson's panties on ebay.  Star Wars, Superman, Spiderman...the list of shitty games goes on and on.  For some reason, people buy this shit even thought they get burned every time.  Not to say that there hasn't been a few of these games that were ok, but for the most part they suck dog balls.  Batman Vengeance is downright stupid.  Thank god I didn't buy this game...I borrowed it from a friend.  To start with, you can't even kill people on this game.  You can knock them out and "batcuff" them, but you can't kill them.  It's fucking 2002 already, GIVE ME SOME BLOODSHED!  The controls are horrid, and I found myself dying uneccesarily because Batman appears to have the motor skills of an elderly walrus.  You have a "bat-grapple", but you can only use it in certain places, and it's not available when you think you need it most.  See that secret item on top of that ledge?  Well, you can't get it because your "bat-grapple" is out of bat-teries...Batwoman stole them for her "bat-vibrator".  Plus, the fight system is lame as all hell.  Punch, Punch, Kick, knock villian down, repeat.  The ONLY thing this game does well is capture to cool vibe of the Batman animated series.  Other than that, this game is one of the lamest I've ever played.  Maybe I'm spoiled by the quality shit that has been on PS2 lately(see other reviews), but this game is not even worth renting.
