Christopher Nolan film tie-in, better than average for the genre thanks to a good intimidation system. Stealth and using fear to manipulate enemies is original. Visually faithful to the film. An honest tie-in that holds its rank.

Description
Adaptation of Christopher Nolan's film tracing Bruce Wayne's origins as the Dark Knight. Published by Electronic Arts, released in 2005. Features around twelve levels alternating stealth and combat, a fear mechanic that lets you exploit enemies' terror, and the original film voices including Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman.
An action adventure game from Eurocom, Batman Begins adapts Christopher Nolan's film by betting on intimidation and stealth, where the Dark Knight uses shadow, gadgets and fear to neutralise his enemies before striking, in a succession of levels faithful to the feature film's scenes. The fidelity to the film, the dark atmosphere and the intimidation mechanic appeal to fans of Batman and of Nolan. The linear structure, the repetitiveness and a dated production bound the ambition. For a Batman fan or a fan of cinematic action adventure, the title keeps a preserved atmosphere and fidelity, in a dated edition.
