Batman Returns

Batman Returns description

In 1992 from the darkest depths of the mind of Tim Burton is back the dark knight of Gotham all – Batman. On the video game market flooded the huge flow of igronizatsy of the film. But all surpassed by the firm Konami, which managed to release three games on one film, and each of them has become a real treasure for your platform. And if the NES and SNES it was bytemap, on PC it was a quest!!! On the one hand, this is not surprising because in all of thundering hits from LucasArts and Sierra; but on the other, Batman has become not only a massacre, but returned to his canonical activities of detective investigations. Wear a bat costume, collect a set of gadgets, crank the Batmobile, the time has come to return to Gotham city!!!

The plot
The story told in the film is repeated almost verbatim in a mysterious Penguin, aka Oswald Callput abandoned by their parents because of his appearance and selected a pack pinguiophyceae become the new mayor of Gotham, using the circus of the red Triangle to show the failure of the former mayor in the fight against crime. Along the way, Selina Kyle, survived death (thanks to the bunch of cats), takes his new "I" and becomes Catwoman. In the process of passing an ardent fan of the film will draw attention to the presence of several deviations from the script: for example, we have to meet with the seller of the fish shop. Well what do you want? The detective is detective, you have to interview people.

Graphics
The quest for the 1992 visual component here is great. Compare it to other adventure a hit of those times – Indiana Jones and Fate of Atlantis - and you'll understand. Streets of Gotham empty, dark and mysterious, not feeling that you like someone secretly watching over the roofs the wind is howling, the Windows of houses will fall lazily dim light. Sometimes comes the feeling that the main character here is not Batman and the city he protects. Those who are familiar with the colours of Burton's films of those years will not be disappointed.

Gameplay
The gameplay here is divided into several parts. Investigation, traveling around the city in the Batmobile in search of clues. Of course, to steer you will not give - will show only the inside of the car and will allow you to select the destination on the map, which is displayed on the monitor. Found evidence? Excellent - going to Batidero to explore the found object with the help of the Batcomputer, which contains the scanner of the evidence database on the characters, CD / DVD player and TV. At last we learn about events in the city. Well, the last part of the gameplay are, surprisingly, the scene of fighting. And then the game POPs up the first minus. You will not wave their fists himself, - you're here only in order to choose the gadgets which will apply to Bets on the opponent.

Sometimes this is justified - for example, when you use babalu on the Strongman from the circus of the red Triangle - and sometimes silly when you have to turn off using the batarang opponent, which the Dark Knight could handle on their own. Note the system time: to perform specific tasks in the investigation you are given the day and the passage of the game - several game days. The passage of time will affect the ending, which according to old tradition, a few Konami.

Management
You're a Man – bat, and besides the detective, so the developers feel the same way. Take in your right hand mouse and perform actions that are standard for any quest.

Music
Once the game begins, the developers of the Spirit of Discovery give us to understand that they reacted with awe to the original, because at the start screen, our ears begin to caress dark motives Danny Elfman. Note that in any other game we do not hear the music from the movie, so she will be with us from beginning to end. And although it's not in the format of CD audio, but it didn't feel the same gloomy, oppressive Gothic atmosphere. This is the case when the music is perfect for the tone of the narrative. Of course, it is a pity that the game never got a CD release - it would only plus and increased its atmospheric.
