 Hammers of Justice! Sep 18, 2010
By DC_Fan_52
"-Weasel!"
I will review this as a gamer, before I review it as a fan of Batman.
Batman: the Brave and the Bold is a side-scrolling beat'em-up like the countless others that proliferated during the NES/SNES era. Like any gamer, I've learned to be cynical with games that are based off of movies or TV series, but happily that is not the case with Batman:tBatB. This is a good game.
The combat system is simple, but fun. Mashing the A button creates a punch combo, but there are also grabs, throws, jumps, dodges, and heavy attacks, as well as the Dark Knight's arsenal of weapons, that keep fighting bad guys fresh. The game is divided into four large episodes, each with a specific partner (with his own trademark gadgets) that tags along. Each Episode is then broken down into parts. At the beginning of each of these stages, you can choose to play as Batman or his partner. The game was clearly designed with cooperative play in mind. While two players can't hurt each other directly, there are plenty of floating bombs on every level that you can bat towards your partner. If you don't have two players, the computer controls your partner, and while it's not smart enough to dodge traps, it'll never slow you down and is smart enough to know how to fight. At the end of each part of an episode, the stats are tallied, and whoever achieved the most is crowned winner and receives bragging rights.
Along the way, you'll pick up coins that will let you unlock or upgrade gadgets. Certain gadgets can unlock a few different areas inside the episodes. And playing as the Dark Knight or his partner give the game some degree of replay value.
The unfortunate part is that the game is short. You should be able to beat the game in 12-15 hours. Also, this game is only compatible with the "Wii Remote + Nunchuck" Combo. I doesn't allow the Gamecube, Classic Controller, or sideways Wii Remote play. Why? Because some moves need you to move the Wii Remote, and some of the gadgets need you to point at the screen. But, like I said, the gameplay is simple, but fun. Finally, the game only supports local multi-player action, not online multi-player.
As a fan of Batman/DC, this is a really great game. They succeeded in replicating the experience of watching the series. The graphics and story look like they've been lifted straight from the cartoon. They even play the theme song at the start of every episode. Plus getting to play as Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle and Hawkman is awesome. Each episode includes short animation done for the video game. And the witty banter that plays through Blue Beetle and Hawkman's episodes are great fun. And the Alan Scott statue in the Gotham City Park, that's awesomesauce.
This is a good video game. This is a great Batman game. Too bad it's kinda short. But the co-op play, I think really saves it. Definitely rent. Maybe even buy. I own it, and I'm not getting rid of it. Expand your Wii Library today. And remember, "Crime doesn't pay."

Unlike some of the other games (like Lego Star Wars and Lego Batman), this game is easier for yourger kids to comprehend how to play. Suitable for a 6 yr old.

Most fun I've had with a game in a LONG time! Sep 25, 2010
By Bruce
If you are reading this and love the series or Batman in general, just stop what you are doing and buy this game now. It's easily worth the 40 bucks. The game is a straight forward beat'em up like in the old days on the SNES and Genesis but the difference here is how they have crafted a world where you feel like you are IN the episodes. From the cut scenes before and after, to the conversations Batman gets into WHILE you are beating up bad guys, to the graphics and art direction. And it's hilarious too. Very easy to get into and just have fun with.

Batman Brave and the Bold on Wii is FUN! Sep 22, 2010
By Romans 10:9-10
My two oldest boys, who are 10 and 9, had a blast playing this game (I did, too!). I recommed it wholeheartedly. I like the way you share in the health, points, etc. It has enough different combat moves, equipment, etc. to make it lots of fun. The jump-in heroes feature is a great addition. The second player can be a different character than Robin and still gain bonuses without cheating out the primary, first player.
I've not watched the cartoon it is based on as my boys have, but enjoyed the tip-of-the-hat to the original TV series of the 1960's. Overall, I would highly recommend this game!

Another Batman Game!...How does it hold up? Jan 23, 2011
By JW
There are a lot of Batman video games. I own a bunch myself. From the NES version based on the Tim Burton movie all the way to the more recent Arkaham Asylum on PS3. Batman: The Brave and the Bold for the Wii is more of a throw back to the old beat em' up games on the Genesis, NES, & SNES.
The first thing I liked were the graphics. It looks exactly like the cartoon and gameplay is set up like an episode of the show. Definitely a great job on graphics. The controls were easy to get a hang of. A tutorial mode walks you through the all the moves and combos. Once you figure out how to fight and use your bat gadgets you'll find that you can play through the game almost effortlessly. In fact, I think the game is a little too easy. Not much of a challenge and I'm an average gamer at best.
Bosses aren't that hard either, and like a lot of beat em' up games it can be repetitive at times. Mashing buttons through the streets of Gotham, killing everything in your path. Other Batman games like this would try to break up the monotony by adding a driving seqence with the Batmobile or flying in the Batplane but not in this game. I think it could have helped to even things out.
It's all about collecting upgrades and different items like a sword, and of course batarangs. You can call in the help of other heroes like The Flash and Aquaman. Just pick which character you want before the level and they come in and clear all the enemies on the screen with there special. Reminds me of X-men on the Sega Genesis and it's cool to watch.
There's some replay value. You can go back and get all the upgrades and different gadgets for Batman and play as the other characters the second time around. But with only 6 levels to play it ends up being a short game. With that said, all the elements of a good Batman game are here and I enjoyed playing it. Recommended highly for the Batman fans.
