No bugs, no glitches, no slowdown, no flicker, no nothing- none of the usual excuses mire this super-refined effort. The hitch, though, is that it's unplayable. Truly, The Adventures of Batman and Robin is a game with its mechanics and designs in the right mindset. The nonstop jumping and attacking (both with batarangs and in close-quarters) is handled with simplistic mastery by the game's two-button scheme.

The feeling, when you want to like something, but can't- it permeates throughout the Batman and Robin experience.
