Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu is one of those GBA beat 'em ups that actually feels like you're throwing punches—not just mashing buttons. The animation’s slick, with Batman’s cape whipping around as you combo thugs through Gotham’s grimy streets. Sin Tzu’s a solid new villain, and you can tell the devs took cues from the animated series—his design’s got that same exaggerated, menacing style.

What’s cool is you don’t just play as Bats—Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl are all here, each with their own moves. Robin’s quick but weak, Batgirl’s balanced, and Nightwing? Dude hits like a truck. The levels throw in some light platforming and environmental attacks (gotta love kicking goons into electrical panels), though it’s mostly about clearing rooms before moving on. Not groundbreaking, but it nails that Saturday-morning-cartoon brawler vibe.

If you’re into the animated series or just want a solid GBA fighter, this one’s a good time. Just don’t expect Arkham-level depth.
