Anybody know this old game? It got very negetive reviews when it was released because It was difficult and the ending is very unceremonious, but you've got to admit, at least the training mode is fun to do.

My brother has that game, it is very bad =|

It's neat what they were trying to do, but the load times (in an SNES game!) and the terrible bugs made us give up on it.

The first level is not beatable.
That game is a pit of sorrow.

If you're talking about the hole that you can't jump down, it can be done...I just don't remember how exactly. We always just mashed a bunch of buttons until it worked.

are you talking about the SNES or Mega-CD/Sega-CD version?

They are both very different games.

Well, the first level IS beatable, to be honest---my brother and I got the SNES version Batman Forever for Christmas one year---but I won't argue with your second claim, Zephyo (cool username, by the way :) ). I think that Batman Forever (for the SNES, at least) is, in fact, a pit of sorrow---made even worse if you lost the manual, which then forced you to just mash buttons in the vain hope that one random button combo would allow you to use the gadgets.

Yeeep, that sounds about my experience with the game. Was always more of a Megaman X kinda kid when it came to the SNES. And thanks- it's the name I use in Hawken as well. If my computer was working and I was capable of playing at any rate (I played a mean Bruiser pre-Ascencion, but I've been sidelined since June).

They're very different games because Batman Forever was never released for the Sega CD ;) There was Batman Returns and I think the second game was called Batman and Robin.

I can think of a lot of games that are better than Batman Forever =|
