Story:The Mega Drive/Genesis version, developed by Clockwork Tortoise and published by Sega, is a run 'n' gun where both Batman and Robin must stop Mr. Freeze, who plans to freeze Gotham City. In order to keep the duo busy, he also frees the Joker, Two-Face and the Mad Hatter, each one with their own agenda. The Joker celebrates his birthday wreaking havoc in Gotham and stealing diamonds, Two-Face tries to take over the city from above, and Mad Hatter is creating a robot army in his surreal lair.
The game can be played by two players simultaneously; one player with Batman, and the other with Robin. Both characters are identical in terms of playability, and both use batarangs, bolas, or shurikens in long-range attacks, while using melee attacks at short range. There are four levels consisting of several stages, mostly of a straight left-to-right traverse to the end where the boss awaits. In some levels the game switches to a side-scrolling shooter, in which the players must control the Batwings.
The game is regarded as being extremely difficult to complete, and also known for showcasing some of the most impressive special effects on the Mega Drive/Genesis. It also features a soundtrack by Jesper Kyd. This accounts for the relatively high quality of Kyd's compositions, as well as the fairly simple FM synthesized nature of the game's sound effects.Show more

Now here's the greatest Sega Batman game. Not to be confused with the SNES counterpart. This also based on the same Batman show. Unlike the SNES Batman game, you can play as Robin. You deal with a handful of villains from the show. I am well aware there's a lot of hardcore gamers. This really would be right up their alley. This is an incredibly difficult Batman game. Sure it may lack the theme song. You also can't deny that soundtrack absolutely amazing!!! You also can play co-op with a friend or family member. The art style was mind blowing. The animation itself was among the most ambitious on the system ever made!!! This Batman game goes way beyond your expectations. It's full blown action from start to finish. Expect to die a lot in this. Not only that The Adventures of Batman & Robin truly deserves to be on GOG. There's plenty of Batman games on here. However we don't have any of the great retro Batman classics yet.
