The Story Behind Batman Forever
Acclaim used motion capture technology to animate the digitized sprites, similar to what was done with Mortal Kombat. Warner Bros. acquired Acclaim's motion capture technology for the film before Acclaim used it for the game. Batman Forever is a beat 'em up video game based on the film of the same name.
Though released by the same publisher at roughly the same time, it is an entirely different game from Batman Forever: The Arcade Game. The game was followed by Batman & Robin in 1998.
How Batman Forever Plays
The controls are largely based on move lists and key sequences. The Game Boy and Game Gear versions do away with a majority of the puzzle-solving of the SNES, PC, and Genesis versions and opt for a more traditional platform fighting game. The co-op mode is not included in the Game Boy and Game Gear versions.
In another mode, however, Batman and Robin can attack each other, but still need to look out for enemies and have separate credit counts. There are also four hidden "blueprint" gadgets. The player plays as either Batman or Robin.
Why Players Still Load It Up
They dismissed the training mode as lacking the winning elements of a decent fighting game. Next Generation praised the look of the digitized sprites but gave the game one out of five stars, citing boring gameplay and a poor control configuration. They remarked that the graphics are technically impressive but dull due to their lack of onscreen objects and interesting backgrounds, and concluded that "the sluggish gameplay, mediocre graphics, and weak sounds really kick this cart to the bat curb." GamePro panned the Super NES version as the worst of the Super NES Batman games.
Frank Snyder of Computer Game Review wrote that "the actual experience of playing Batman™ Forever isn't much better than that of watching the movie." Batman Forever was a major commercial failure. The game was followed by Batman & Robin in 1998. Batman Forever is a beat 'em up video game based on the film of the same name.
