I'll give this game that: it unintentionally pioneered the 3D open-world genre.
It also unintentionally turneb by brain tubee mush.
I'm pretty sure 3-D collectathon platformers like Mario 64 and Banjo-kazooie were the games that unintentionally pioneered open-world games.
@@rerez Must have done. The word you were looking for was 'my'.
Or 'our brains'? There are 2 of you poor fools.
I don’t know about the unintentional part, the team knew they were doing something special and fought for every second they could get for development time, it just never had the right exposure.
For 1998 it does not. The level of detail is unparalleled for the time. The secrets within the city are tremendous and nearly every time I play it, I find something new. Whether it’s Catowman’s apartment from Batman Returns, rooftops to explore or a secret “developer” room.
"I want my medication."
So did everyone that played this mess.
Lol good one
Pretty sure it was a joke.
*like the whole game but eh, whatever*
I need a few beers to watch the movie
So are we going to address the elephant in the room? How were they parodying an incarnation of Batman that wouldn't exist for almost a decade? There was no gravel Batman until Christian "WHEREISHE" Bale.
It’s not better with medication......believe me;)
My parents bought me this when I was a kid. The next day, dad successfully went back to the game store and got it switched to another game after arguing how bad it was.
It's too bad you couldn't have just showed him the mister freeze fight. Although then again back then i bet most people still had the mindset that "well it's supposed to be challenging" without knowing the difference between challenge and just cheaply artificial difficulty.
@@plasmaoctopus1728 Ye.
What game did you get?
@@Batman43221 I think it was Disney's Hercules Action Game (much better).
@@current9300 Cool.
I wonder if it could gain enough support to be fan-modded into being playable. It's a shame that a game with such beautiful visuals and forward thinking ended up so terrible.
Thats my dream...
Maybe someone's gonna remake it with Unity.
This comment summerized most of modern gaming lmao
@@blyat8832 except for the forward thinking part lol
They did remade it, it was called Arkham Knight
I was one of the programmers on this game and I loved this video, thanks for the laughs and the memories! Also, I'm so sorry. BTW this is one the first games to feature cloth physics (for the capes). It was built on the same engine as Alien Trilogy, which I didn't work on and was a pretty good game, but it was first person not third person which is (I think) why we had the tank controls (Despite the fact that Tomb Raider and Mario 64 had just come out and shown that camera relative movement was the way to go.)
If you actually are one of the programmers for this game, mad props to you and the other devs who were involved.
This game looks pretty damn impressive for its time and its ambitious as hell, you did the best you could under the circumstances i'm sure.
The programming is actually really good, very impressive, especially for ps1.
Yeah man. Gameplay flaws aside, it's a massive technical achievement and you should be proud
No need to sorry, we know the limitations back then, it was impressive though
This game has a lot of neat ideas, it's just that none of them are executed very well
Do kinda wonder if its something like they tried to do too much with the technology they had.
That's always the worst thing with media, to me. Wasted potential...
Because no-one is willing to do a "We fucked up last time, but we learned from it" sequel/remake.
@@HOTD108_ According to the intro, this game came out a year after the movie. Somehow I doubt they were under _that_ strict a deadline
Funny how a lot of the systems and ideas in this game were reused in the Arkham games, like clues and traveling around a city to stop crimes ('ala Arkham City & Knight) among other things.
No joke, Nabeshin. If there's one compliment we can give this game is that, well, the concept behind it wasn't bad. I mean, open world gameplay where you stop a bad guy with areas faithfully recreated from the movie. The idea is fine. Hell, you could probably take the game design doc and make it into a decent game today if you iron out the issues that we've learned to not make in the decades since this was release.

The falling animation of Batman is just amazing. It's the same pose when you don't move.
I can only imagine him landing perfectly lol
@@Gemidorilike a cat
The longer I watch this, the more I feel bad for the developers. It really feels like, to me at least, that they tried to make a great Batman game but were either rushed heavily or were understaffed.
ChaosController316 and also considering the fact that it’s based on one of the worst superhero movies ever made didn’t help at all
They also seemed to be over ambitious
It seemed like incompetency was a big factor here. There are far, far too many issues here to suggest that they had the skills to recognize the obvious failings of their ideas.
Tronathon242 the only real bad things are the controls and the clue system. When you redone them the game would be a clear 70-80% rating.

I can’t stress this enough: slippery floors are the one thing that make ice levels so infamous. If you remove it, you get a level that’s not completely horrible
They are fine when the devs remember to put something like ice cleets in... not a lot do :/
i love how slipping on ice in video games and media is depicted as "wwoOOOPS! OH NO, IM GOIN FLYIN ACROSS THE RINK:O" when in reality its basically just having an arkham takedown performed on you leaving your head slammed into the ground and having a trip to the hospital
Out of all the weird things this game did that are worth admiring, I think my favorite is burying the cheats (well, cheat, singular) inside an Easter egg. Why has no one else ever thought of that??? And the fact that it involves getting into the developers' studio and messing with their equipment is just shy of _Duck Amuck_ levels of fourth-wall breakage.
Anyone else have a weirdly deep appreciation for the "Bat-Mac" joke?
In the Batman & Robin movie you'll see Alfred use an Apple Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM) in one scene at a desk. A bunch of productions used it in movies and TV, you might have seen one in Seinfeld if you look close enough!

@@georgekostaras your profile pic reminds me of how stupid I was
They were probably parodying Keaton or Conroy's Batman voices. But yeah, it was weird to hear the meme go that far back.
@@expendableindigo9639 Keaton and Conroy never sounded like that.
@@robbiewalker2831 they were already deep, these people were probably just taking it one step further. I see your argument though.
I’m actually surprised how sick a lot of these features are in concept, like having to manually put together clues at the batcave, actually being timed in stopping a crime, but in execution are just horrible.
The open world especially should've been downright revolutionary. Insane to see so much detail in such an awful game.

Yeah, I always forget which Batman movie/comic/tv show/animated series/graphic novel/game, that particular line's from.

But I don't know which one, because as I said, I always forget which one it came from, sorry.

I'm just gonna point out, this is like the blueprint for Arkham Knight all the way back in 1998. For the limitations of the hardware, that's impressive.
👍
This seems waaaay too ambitious for it's time.
"Let's make an immersive open world driving fighting detective clue-hunting brawler adventure game platformer!"
What could go wrong? A lot apparently.
Actually that'd be a tall order for a modern game...
Superman 64 was a similar story. Wanted to do everything and nothing all at once, so it ended up as a mess of boring broken objectives with an oddly big world.
@@expendableindigo9639 That game at least had the excuse of being held back by DC meddling far too much and the N64's limited capabilities, there was going to be a PS1 version and it looked way better but it got cancelled when Traveler's Tale's lost the license.
@@jacksonteller3973 Yeah I wish we got that PS1 version.
Arkham Knight did that... kinda. It's pretty much just Batman Arkham Batmobile
@@jacksonteller3973 Titus, not Traveller Tales. Titus was the french developer (not related to Traveller Tales) who did Superman 64. An instant classic and famous to be bad even in its launch.
But this Batman & Robin is by far... amazing. Graphics are great, too much content, incredibly hard, and totally garbage. I remember seeing it in magazines and never paying it too much attention, as everyone did. But man... they put loooots of work in this garbage. It's just incredible.
And an incredible waste of time.
There is such a thing as too ambitious.
But god damn did a lot of things get redone from this in the Arkham games.
I’m still waiting for Arkham to do a FULL Gotham City, with a full Batcave and Wayne Manor. Not some half- measure. I want to play as Batgirl or Robin at will, with 6 different vehicles. All this done in 1998. Astonishing.
@@Shadowskulptor Its impressive to be sure. Its terrible but I can acknowledge the accomplishments it had; like the open world, the separate characters, the vehicles, and the surprisingly highly detailed Gotham City for 1998. It doesn't make it less shitty, but it's still interesting how ambitious the project was.
Good job, you just spoiled a part of the video before I even got 1 minute into the video. ;-;

"Clues Blues" may be my new favourite bit of yours alongside The Money Ghosts.
And of course, having 36 minutes of your Batman voice was ALREADY enough to guarantee that my day was well spent.
Me too! But instead Blue' clues is Goldie's clues
This game is literally the meaning of "Good idea, bad execution"
More like a good idea, bad plan and terrible execution.
The blue light thing reminded me of something: In Mr. Freeze’s first appearance on the 1966 TV series, normal people could only enter one of Freeze’s specially modified rooms when a given area was illuminated by a red light. If the red light turned off, the person started to freeze to death. I noticed that in that one stage of the game, everything is red until the blue light comes on. Could that have been a reference to the TV show?
Except, again, that would only make sense in a Freeze lair. Not THE BOTANICAL GARDEN.
I remember that episode! I think it had the bat-long-underwear So COOL to find another person reminiscing about it.
That'd be a weird decision considering that they were basing the game on the recent movie, and the presumed target audience for this game (excitable kiddie Batman fans who either weren't disappointed by the movie or are playing the game as a substitute for the movie) would have only barely known there was a live-action Batman TV show if at all.
To be fair neither of those would have necessarily been problems if the game mechanic was explained, but, well, it wasn't.
7:49 They ask how you are and you just have to say that you are fine, but you are not fine

Batman: Arkham Knight at home:

Arkham Knight was Arkham Shite too
@@ScoutTrooperTK Be The Batman('s Hovertank)
And worst game of the series... yes even worse than Dark Tomorrow.
I'm so glad the pc port came out the way it did. I bought the complete edition from cdkeys at like 15 bucks a month after the game was released, played the hell out of that game and then when rocksteady eventually patched the game, it was left in a better state than even arkham city (go back and play that game and tell me it runs better than arkham knight).

@@goissilva i agree, actually playing as i'm writing this comment :P
I really don’t understand the difficulty people have with driving the thing. They literally built the game squarely on it. It’s not like it was a gimmick slapped in the middle of a game already being developed
@@dereknight861 yeah i know. Some people i've spoken to find that the car works fine but that it's hard to control in the heat of chasing.
To which i say "GIT GUD"
@@Nicho40K I actually enjoyed Arkham Knight. Once they patched most of the performance issues it was quite good. I guess it helps that I was running it with an i7, 32GB of RAM, and a 980ti.
18:02 *PUT THE DIAMOND BACK!*
The tech was there, the concept was there, but the execution was absolutely flawed in every single respect.
Could have been a beloved classic, but there is no way someone played this game and said "oh boy! I think I'm going to play it again!"
Doing that last level without invincibility would have been absolute torture.
I feel like the issue with this game (overall) is it seems...WAY too ambitious for the time.
and it was a licensed movie game so they simply wouldn't get the time to fully implement all their ideas and make them actually work cohesively
This is the most incredible demake of Arkham Knight onto the PS1 ever made. Problem is, it's not a demake, so the controls are just as bad as the era it's emulating. It blows my mind how long it took to figure out good controls. Honestly, it really seems like the sort of thing you could solve with experimentation. Controllers don't have that many things on them, and some things are intuitive. From there it's a matter of experimenting with a frankly limited toolbox.
I like your misfits shirt
Yeah problem is they put all the ideas without making sure if they can nail those ideas with functional gameplay and design
Batman big, Batman small!
Also, Shane’s impersonation of Batman is friggin’ hilarious.
I’m confused as to why the in-game voice is not what Batman sounds at the time and is now used to depict Batman’s voice in the new movies which are as much of a parody as Shane’s impersonation.
I thought that was Adam who was doing the impression.
I lost it at “this feels tingly”
@@robbiewalker2831 Kevin Conroy actually came up with the idea that batman Growls his dialogue while Bruce Wayne speaks normally.

I Still Feel Badly For George Clooney,You Bring This Movie up to Him,&,he Starts Apologizing Profusely,Poor Guy
You bring this movie up to ANY of the people involved in it, and I hear they start apologizing for it, ma'am. I loved this movie as a little boy. I think the movie was trying to appeal to young kids, with the flashy lights, and cool design of the Batmobile, and it's toy commercial like design of everything that appeared in the movie. I had never seen the other previous Batman movies before this, other than Batman Forever, which had that one song, and Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face, and Jim Carey as The Riddler, although, they both acted like The Joker in that movie, for some reason. I was just a huge fan of Jim Carey, and I'd been watching the Adam West Batman, and the Batman animated series, so, being a huge Batman fan, I was obsessed with the Batman and Robin movie. It wasn't until years later, with Christian Bale's Batman, that I realized how bad Batman And Robin really was, and also seeing the other 2 Batman movies, that I hadn't yet seen, Batman ('89), and Batman Returns, helped. And also, seeing Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker helped too. That's when I knew batman and robin paled in comparison (and just in general) to literally EVERY other Batman movie ever made! It really IS the worst Batman movie ever. Glad Schumacher and the others apologized for this. I can tell, they were legitimately trying to make a movie that could live up to Michael Keaton's Batman, as well as Batman Returns, but even though they tried, they still ended up failing in the end. It's nice to know they at least apologized to Batman fans. At least we learned something from this. And to me that's, "Batman and Robin" is great if you're trying to appeal to kids, or fans of the 1966 Adam West Batman, but if you're trying to appeal to actual Batman fans, please learn to NOT do what this movie did. Batman ISN'T a toy commercial, he's a crime fighter, a vigilante, a hero, The Dark Knight, a guy who's not afraid to do what's right to save the people or Gotham City, or even the world itself from the bad guys, NOT whatever the hell he was in hellish movie. Glad everyone involved with this movie learned from their mistakes. You don't see that often, with a lot of bad movies.

Let’s be real here, this game must have been very impressive at its time! It just wasn’t as fun as it was impressive.
Most impressive was that they made a big point out of the fact that Batman could jump out the window 04:49... and Batgirl couldnt 04:55 without realising that is BECAUSE THE WINDOW WASNT BROKEN when they attempted with Batgirl... Just sayin.

@@Xehanort10 That was also the movie with the Bat Credit Card too, wasn't it? And also, Batman's a billionaire, remember? So, I'm sure he can afford to "accidentally" break a few diamonds here or there, just saying, dude/lady...
@@shawnfields2369 I guess what Batman means by “you break it you buy it” is that he’s allowed to break whatever he wants cause he can afford to buy it.
@@SorowFame Well, yeah. He's secretly Billionaire Playboy, Bruce Wayne, remember? But he doesn't want any of the bad guys to know that he's secretly Bruce Wayne, otherwise, they wouldn't be scared of him anymore. So maybe pulling out a "bat credit card" is a horrible idea, unless we're talking 1960's Batman, Adam West, then, it could probably work. But for the more serious Batman stories, unless they're referencing it as a joke about the worst Batman movie ever, (other than the 1940's Serials), then maybe don't mention it ever again, Batman... yeah, Bruce Wayne can afford It, but can Batman? They might not know that. They're definitely not to supposed to know Batman's secret identity. Having a bat credit card might tip people off to who he really is. It also used to be one the Nostlagia Critic's best running jokes, before he ran it into the ground. This was back when he was less of the "but the chart says" guy, and more of the loud, but occasionally still funny guy. Now, he's just a sad, bitter man-child... or maybe Bruce had a Bat Credit Card because he secretly wants to buy all the things he never had as a kid, or maybe he secretly wants to buy random things? Who knows? Batman is still my favorite DC Superhero. No matter who Batman is now, as long as they hold up the morals Batman did, and help out the people of Gotham City, from criminals, then they could very well be a worthy successor to Batman. Like Terry McGuinness from Batman Beyond, or maybe Nightwing?
@@shawnfields2369 what? I didn’t even mention the Bat Credit Card.
"Batman straight up murders pedestrians" - Are we sure Frank Miller didn't hijack the script for this game (not that I'm complaining given he had yet to lose his mind)? Also, mazes, hidden rooms and false floors. Did the Court of Owls design these jewellery and computer stores? Finally, good thing this game doesn't have microtransactions because then we'd be treated to the unholy sight of the Bat Credit Card.

Rerez, you guys should look at Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker for the PS1, based on the movie of the same name. I tried it out, and it is horrible as hell.
Wait, was that a side-scrolling beat-em-up? Cause I think I have(had, can't remember where I put it)that.
@@SakuraAvalon yes it was based on the movie. I played the n64 version and oh boy...it fucking sucks
Pretty sure the N64 version is the worst
@@justinschannel6962 none of the versions are good. I played it on the ps1. It was garbage
Imagine having a CD collection (those with various games) with both of those Batman games, it sucked, but at least it also had a Batman beat 'em-up for arcades that actually was fun.
For a game called “Batman and Robin” you would expect it to have two player coop
”I want my medication” sounds like what the rerez crew would say after beating this game.
Very nice graphics for a PS1 game!
They are!
I guess this is why they had to make the draw distance so short. The hardware wasn't quite up to the task. I'm surprised they managed to (sort of) pull off an open world game on the PS1 at all.
@@Sheevlord I'd say that they didn't just sort of pull off an open world game on the PS1. I'd say that they DID pull off an open world game on the PS1. It's not a very good game, but the open world part of it is fully there. This is just a reminder that open world doesn't make a game any good.

when i was young, i had a friend, his lil brother was crazy about Batman, and he was determined to finish this game! INSANE!
At 24:43 it is stated that there's no indication of there being a secret room behind that wall. This is not true. Gotta follow doom logic here, guys. If you look really close, you can see a seam in between the normal wall and the wall leading to the secret room. Another tell is that the bricks on the secret door don't line up quite right. It's very easy to miss because the wall is the same color, and to my knowledge, this is the first secret room in the game. Game's still bad, but I've got a sharp eye for these things.

Me too.
Lol
Wow! This game made Batman: Dark Tomorrow look like a literal masterpiece and that's nothing saying much, considering that those two games are as bad as the other.
No this games worse.
Jake Proven I don’t think you get the memo
about a year i ago I bought this at a retro game store. And 15:46 was around the time I completely gave up on this game. The maze like levels and the nerve to add false floors in a game with these bad of controls is unforgivable. I’m serious, it isn’t right.
It's just sad.
Open World exploration, driving, Vehicular combat, hidden secrets, different weapons and cool locations.
So many cool ideas and revolutionary concepts!
But all ruined by horrible combat and a dumb time limit and clue system.
I love these so much, you guys don't just point out what's awful from the beginning, meander a bit on the issues and then skip to the end, you take us through the whole ride right alongside you so we can see every bit of how terrible it is.
Well if you argue that batman could jump out the window 04:49... and Batgirl didnt 04:55 BECAUSE THE WINDOW WASNT BROKEN when they attempted with Batgirl... I can really understand playing games and uderstanding basic logical game mechanics is hard.
@@pqsnet over here giving the friggin' BATMAN AND ROBIN GAME the benefit of the doubt, good God...
@@lightninstriker10 Well, i have no problems ranting over dum games, but to not even break a window, nor point this fact out and blame the game... Doesnt make the game look bad.
@@pqsnet Watch that clip back again, you can see after the failed jumps they tried to attack to break the window (Just as they did with Batman) but again, Batgirl seems incapable of even reaching high enough to do so, perhaps it wasn't that they didn't break the window, but more that perhaps they couldn't.
@@pqsnetdawg if you’re expecting Shane to play through this entire game and not make a single mistake you are crazy. Besides if it’s the stupid window not being broken holding everything up she should still be able to land on the ledge. Doesn’t make any sense for intact window making the entire ledge uninteractable
So, basically it's TVTropes' "Guide Damn It," the game.
It's so much more though. Namely "The problem with licensed games"
obligatory “TV Tropes will ruin your life”
😆
@@bruhchamp16593 Definitely "So Bad, It's Horrible". ;)
This really goes to show that when we're kids we miss a lot of stuff about what a game aims to do.
This is probably the only game from my childhood that I want to revisit out of sheer curiosity and finally understand it. It was so ambitious and I wanna see what they were aiming for.
You know what bugs me the most about this game? Is with all the hidden stuff, the goofy disco rooms, the hidden developer room, and all the effort they put into the environments, is it feels like they genuinely were having fun with creating it and genuinely wanted this to be a good game. Like, I get the feeling they truly tried their best to make a good game of this rather than just churning out a by-the-numbers licensed game just to make a quick buck. It's actually too bad this game ended up as bad as it did.
The game probably could have been pulled off better on the next generation hardware.
@@Rokabur I've known a handful of games like that. I call it Death By Ambition. Where what they wanted to do was clearly too big either for their abilities or for the technology at the time, and to me it's the absolute most tragic way for a game to be bad: not only does it leave you wanting for what the game could have been, but you feel bad for the creators who genuinely tried to do something special. Another great example are the Resident Evil Outbreak games, which tried to do online multiplayer a generation before it was viable.
26:56 That small Batman car racing segment nearly killed me from laughter XD

Shrinking. RC car. Badly-controlled bigger car. Bearbones one-liner 26:49 ...
Too bad the "Batman Forever" title was occupied☢️
This game looks like it could’ve been the Arkham Asylum of the PS1 but the story and lack of a “what to do” mechanic literally ruins the game 😭 Like imagine if they just made a open world game and there was an actual cool story (that made sense) I have a feeling that a masterpiece could’ve came from this.
6:32 is so funny
13:57 Imagine catwoman uses it. :3
**Manipulation and blackmail**
This game was way too ambitious and ahead of it's time. Because the graphics, gameplay [in theory] and variety are very technically impressive for 1997. The problem is technology wasn't there and they likely didn't have the skill or time to make it work properly.
Indeed. They were crunched for time and the game was delayed several times. I remember every day, waiting for it as a child constantly looking at previews. For almost 2 years. It’s a lot better than it has any right to be. If it were released in tandem with the movie I wonder what it would have been. No full open world I’m sure. It’s a miracle they were able to accomplish what they did in the time frame!
Imagine if these developers had PS4/PS5 technology to work with for this concept. Oh, what could have been...:(
It wasn't technical limitations that held this back as much as insanely convoluted plotting and game design. Look at the first Driver game for PS1. It succeeds where this fails.
Batman: Let me casually steal the diamond
Also Batman: **BLUE LIGHT! GET RID OF IT!**
Batman: No, I casually *saved* the diamond.

@@SniperJoeLieutenant "The comment made me do it!"
21:35 lunatics be like
Watching this video again...it looks like the developers had some creativity and vision, but they didn't have either the talent, budget, or possibly both to pull it off, plus it's very likely that the hardware of the time just wasn't capable of what they had in mind. It wasn't until Arkham City almost 15 years later that it became possible to have a full open world Batman game like this and have it be good. (IMO Arkham Asylum is better than Arkham City, but it's not open world, it's more of a Metroidvania...whereas Arkham City is a fully open world game kind of in the vein of what they were wanting to do with this.)
I love how Batman stoically stands and rotating while falling in the final level.
His medication helps him control gravity
I remember renting this game when I was younger. I was never able to get past the first battle with Freeze. I think I spent a good chunk of time just driving around the city and messing around in Wayne Manor. I know a lot of people say Batman Forever was really bad, but it was at least playable to a degree. This is just a complete broken mess, with a great concept, but too ambitious for the time so it ends up being a flawed mess.
Batman Forever had one of the most memorable loading screens. "HOLD ON"
I'm only 15 minutes in and I can't believe how bad this game is. I'm glad me and my brother never made it past the beginning of this game when we were kids.
33:39 better question why does he want to freeze Gotham when he's already froze it?
This is up there with Morphman as one of my favorite episodes of Just Bad Games
Yeah, forget about Harley, Penguin's henchgirls, and Bane's Lt Birdie. We got the best henchman ever, FROSTY!!!
at 26:08 I realized this episode was going from great to AMAZING
Probe Entertainment did at least make Alien Trilogy.
19:15 I think this blue light thing might be a reference to a mister freeze episode in the 60's series, in which mr freeze can only survive in blue light and everyone else can only survive in red light.
1:18 THE BAT SHART
Plot Twist, Batman was the Villian...
22:55 Plot twist: Batman's secret identity is Homer Simpson.
@@autobotstarscream765 Lmfao
0:50 - 1:33: the proof (joke)
oh hey, proto.
No, the whole game IS the villain.
This is iconic for the whole B&R project. Amazing ideas, solid plans, brilliant individual elements... but they fall short on the last mile.
Batman saying "Guano!" is my new headcanon 😎
The thing is that this game tried to be great, it had the batcave, Wayne manor, 3 playable characters, vehicles ect. But the result was a game that was as bad maybe even worse than dark tomorrow
*GIANTLOOKIN'DOT*
This game would honestly be really awesome with a modern touch up. Gezz. This was almost a great game. A few very minor changes it could be a great game.
A few minor changes later and we get the Arkham series.
Someone needs to either mod this game to make it more like the Arkham series or mod one of the Arkham games to have the visuals and storyline of this game and/or the movie
I finished it, and... few minor changes mean completely overhauling the combat AND movement. Those are impossible, I had to use save states cause every other enemy and jump had me lose health, I couldn't heal enough and time ran out fast.
It was a good game for it's time
@@kojakbraddy2338
Impressive? Yes. Good? Not at all....
There's a difference....
I have no idea why this video appeared in my feed but as someone who once rented this game I had to watch this and...Holy crap this video honestly had me on the floor rolling with laughter.
My sides, face, and stomach hurt.
"I want my medication" was too much to handle. Damn near killed me irl.
I can’t believe they got a giant pencil just for the “clues blues” skit. Stupid example but, I mean really, These guys are on another level as far as their videos go; integrating humor, really sincere reviews and not being bought out or ever doing promos for companies, still. Let alone their animations, drawings, and their OWN voiceover work in lots of funny iterations.
Let’s give them some props. Thanks again rerez!
I’m watching this one a second time through!
We know you play these awful games for our entertainment.
We appreciate it. We really do.
But you can stop. It's ok to stop.

The writing these guys do for these videos is literally next level.
My first college roomate was obsesssd with this game. And unironically, I might add. Just goes to show that there’s a game for every person, and a person for every game
Some people like game other people don’t. I like tes redgaurd and that is not a great game
I wonder if he/she managed to beat the game?
@@alapacaso Have you ever played Battlespire?
@@expendableindigo9639 no and I never want to
It was pretty ambitious for it's time. The only Batman games before this were platformers and beat em ups.
