Batman Returns is a beat 'em up released for the Sega Game Gear, developed by Aspect and published by SEGA.
It is part of the Batman series; on the Game Gear you can also try Batman Forever. The series also appears on other systems with Batman: The Video Game (NES) and Batman Forever (SNES). Aspect also made Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic Chaos and Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble for the Game Gear.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the Game Gear hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want depth and variety over simple, satisfying brawling
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Batman Returns is like
Beat 'em ups send you down scrolling streets fighting waves of thugs with punches, kicks, throws and grabbed weapons. Most can be finished in a single sitting and shine with a second player.
Tip for newcomers: Avoid getting surrounded: keep enemies on one side of you and save your special attacks for crowds. Bring a friend if the game supports co-op.
