DownloadsHoly Tights Batman! It's all gone off in Gotham! Typical isn't it? You wait for ages for another Batman game and then two come along at once! It's just like waiting for a bus, except with videogames you don't have to wait for hours in the rain, and in the end you won't get done for fare-dodging!
This version of Batman is far more traditional than last issue's offering, borrowing the mood from the movies and staying closer in spirit to the original comic strips! Compared to Batman Of The Future on the Game Boy Color, Batman: Chaos in Gotham is a rather massive improvement!
Batman Forever!
It seems something is afoot in the fair town of Gotham, which isn't very surprising considering that the town has seen more violence, panic and destruction than both of the World Wars put together!
Once again, the gameplay is fairly limited (although this one does throw in some driving and flying sections) but the platform elements are reasonably playable and this Batman game has more interesting gameplay. You have a whole host of moves and weapons at your beck and call and there are plenty of environments to use them in!
The game looks good, but Batman can be quite tricky to control. OK, he's a maverick, but that doesn't mean he has to handle like one. Jumping is the main crime here as crossing giant gaps can be quite difficult, and can often spell doom if a false move is made. If you are a Batman fan, then we would suggest this as the game to play, as it offers much more in nearly every department than its futuristic counterpart. Not really all that bad, but nothing totally amazing either. Sorry!

Game Reviews
People say:
Turning to the original animated series for inspiration rather than Batman Beyond (after the horrid PS and N64 Beyond games, can you blame 'em?), Digital Eclipse packs in a lot of gameplay while keeping Total Chaos graphically solid. BTC does a nice job of breaking away from the standard side-scrolling model by dropping in driving and flying levels here and there, and while playing as Batgirl offers only mild relief from the belabored punch-and-kick action of The Batman himself, the game keeps you mildly entertained throughout. But more than anything, Total Chaos reminds us that we're all more than ready for GB Advance. The same generic, cheap-suited bad guys keep popping up all through the game, throwing mindless punches or firing the periodic bullet. And getting the sluggish Batso to respond to your commands is very trying. It's tough to tell when and where to use your small array of Bat-items, which will no doubt make this game even more frustrating for novice players, so keep it near the bottom of your GBC to-do list.
