Alright, let’s talk about Batman Forever on the Sega Genesis. First off, it’s not the best Batman game out there—let’s be real—but it’s got this weird, janky charm. You start off punching thugs in a neon-lit Gotham alley, and the controls feel a little stiff at first. Like, why does Batman move like he’s wearing concrete boots?
The graphics are actually pretty decent for the time, with some nice sprite work, but the fighting mechanics are… rough. You’ve got this awkward combo system where you mash buttons to chain moves, but half the time, enemies just stunlock you into a corner. And don’t get me started on the platforming—some jumps feel like pure luck.
Still, there’s something oddly satisfying about beating up Two-Face’s goons with Batman’s weirdly slow roundhouse kicks. The soundtrack’s got that classic Genesis synth-grit, too. Just don’t go in expecting Arkham Asylum—this is pure '90s beat-’em-up chaos. If you’re a Batman completist or love retro frustration, it’s worth a play. Otherwise, maybe stick to the animated series.
