Acclaim brought the Joel Schumacher film to the Genesis in 1995 with a development approach borrowed from Mortal Kombat: digitized actors, chunky character sprites and fighting-game style special moves strung together with button combinations. Probe Entertainment built the game, and Batman and Robin can play it solo or as a two-player team as they work through Gotham to reach Two-Face and the Riddler.
The result is a side-scrolling brawler with heavy emphasis on gadgets. Batman and Robin carry a range of gadgets, from batarangs to grappling tools, and switching between them is part of every fight. Critics at the time were harsh about the stiff animation, the long combo inputs needed for basic moves and the difficulty of reading what was happening on screen, so it is now more of a curiosity: an example of how strongly the digitized-sprite trend influenced licensed games in the mid-1990s.
Tips for Batman Forever
Spend time in the options or practice to learn the special-move inputs, since many core attacks depend on them.
Pick gadgets that hit at range; they help against enemies who outlast your basic punches.
In two-player mode, split enemies between you so neither hero gets trapped in a corner.
