Developed by Vicarious Vision and published by EA Games, Batman Begins arrived on the Game Boy Advance as a platformer.
It is part of the Batman series; on the GBA you can also try Batman: Vengeance and Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu. The series also appears on other systems with Batman: The Video Game (NES) and Batman Forever (SNES). Vicarious Vision also made Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure and Bruce Lee: Return of the Legend for the GBA.
Batman Begins is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to run, jump and explore
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Batman Begins is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
