Batman: Vengeance
Batman: Vengeance, jeu d'aventure développé par Ubisoft Montreal et publié par Ubi Soft Entertainment, est sorti le 23 octobre 2001 sur PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox et Nintendo GameCube. S'appuyant sur la série télévisée The New Batman Adventures, ce titre a été réalisé en collaboration avec Warner Bros. et DC Comics à l'aide du moteur OpenSpace. D'une durée de six heures et demie pour l'histoire principale et de neuf heures pour une partie complétiste, le jeu affiche un score Metacritic de 57 et une note agrégée de 62,14. La presse a livré des avis contrastés : GameSpy a salué l'expérience immersive du justicier, tandis qu'IGN a regretté que le titre ne soit pas le jeu d'action à la hauteur des consoles nouvelle génération espéré, tout en reconnaissant un divertissement varié. De leur côté, certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont qualifié l'œuvre de fantastique expérience Batman d'avant la série Arkham, louant l'atmosphère fidèle à la série animée, et ont estimé en 2024 que le jeu restait très agréable malgré le temps écoulé.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« If you're looking to experience the world of the caped crusader (and walk a mile in his boots), you will surely have bat-barrels of fun with this title. Those gamers interested in more depth of gameplay other than punch, jump, destroy and rescue should look elsewhere. »
« The game itself is not the next-generation butt-kicking game I hoped it would be, but it is a fun, varied title that, despite harboring some awkward control here, and simplistic design there, winds up being a respectable arcade game, steeped in Batman lore. »
« Main problem: you can only fire your Batgrapple at specific points...We wanted the freedom of Tenchu and all we received was a hook through the nose with a finger pulling us the right way. »
« Superb graphics and tons of game play make this title more than worthy of a rental at the very least. »
« In the end, BV succeeds at what it set out to do--it puts you into the role of Batman. Every major aspect of the character is presented in some way in the game...it is one of those incredibly rare birds known as a good licensed game. »
« It's an atrocity to play. [Nov 2001, p.98] »
« The camera, for one, can be quite erratic and gets frustratingly inadequate when you only have the option to centre it behind Bats. »
« The most faithful rendition of the Batman animated series yet. The graphics are appropriately dark and angular, successfully evoking the series’ “dark deco” look, and the animation is fast and dynamic. The end result, however is marred my occasional murkiness and poor collision detection. »

« A+(8.7/10) A fantastic pre-Arkham Batman experience. As a fan of the Animated Series, this game absolutely nails the atmosphere — the story is great, the music is terrific, and there's a lot of variety in gameplay. The only real drawback is the combat: clunky, inconsistent, and dated by today’s standards. Controls can feel stiff too. Still, I had a great time and it's easily one of the best batman game out there. If you love Batman, this one is a must-play. »
« Where do we begin? Batman Vengeance in 2024 is still great fun that holds the test of time 23 years after its initial release in 2001. I absolutely adored this game as a kid, playing for hours, and have very fond memories of many of the games sequences. This was my generations “Arkham” series game. Before Spider-Man 2 (2004) changed the landscape of super hero games, Batman Vengeance was the absolutely best in the business. From today’s point of view, the gameplay and (lack of) camera control can feel slightly clunky but remains very smooth throughout. This being the only drawback for me in the entire game. For a video game that was produced between 1999-2000… this has got to be the “GTA”, gold standard of super hero games - for its time of course- until Spider-Man 2 took the world by storm in 2004. It’s fun to play - hard to put down actually, loaded with action, seamlessly transition from third person to first person when needed, Bat gadgets galore, Bat plane, Batmobile, grapple, fly around with your cape, beat the snot out of henchmen, dive off of structures to rescue the innocent, brain teaser puzzles, and more! There are so many reasons to absolutely adore this game - for something that was released in 2001 it holds up amazingly well even now in almost 2025. There are so many games from the PS2/Xbox/GameCube era that deserve a remaster and this is definitely one of them. I would pay full retail on my Series X for a remaster. Batman games are typically a treasure, and Batman Vengeance has got to be top 5- if not Top 3 of all time. Thanks for reading. »
« I think this game isn't that good. i think it's OKAY but things are WAY too dark too see, The controles are HORIBLE, it is alittle cartoonish for a teen videogame, it is boring, you need to use the hook shot at surtin' parts, and you need to hand cuf them when their down. This is the worst batman game in HISTORY!! »
« Batman Vengeance is a decent and somewhat stylish super hero/adventure game who's ruined by its terrible controls and lame boss fights. I don't recommend it, specially for Batman fans. »
« This is one of the games that help give Batman the bad reputation in the video game world, first of all it's to dark to see anything going on screen, and the controls are bad, and the story doesn't keep you hooked either, it's definitely one of Batman's worst games. »
