Lazy adaptation of the Batman Beyond cartoon. Repetitive platforming, soft combat, threadbare presentation. Cobbled together to ride the licence, with no real tech or design ambition. Skip it even as a fan of the show.

Batman of the Future - Return of the Joker (N64) price, value & rarity
A rushed Batman Beyond tie-in from Ubi Soft, released in March 2001 as the N64 was winding down across Europe. The game itself carries no reputation, yet this very late PAL run, printed during the console's final months, is what drives boxed and sealed prices far beyond anything the title deserves. Demand here rests on thin end-of-life stock, not on the game.
