Batman Begins

Posted on Mar 31, 2008 under sony playstation | No Comment


When Tim Burton directed the first Batman film it was a revelation an antithesis to the straight-laced Superman films of the 80s and an antidote to the camp TV series of old. This darker take on things revitalised the DC Batman comics and set the tone for future iterations: Burton reprised his role in the equally satisfying Batman Returns. When the torch was handed to the more populist director Joel Schumacher it wasn’t a disaster at first - Batman Forever featured Val Kilmer as the most athletic screen Batman yet but Batman and Robin was just plain laughable a confused hotchpotch of miscasting ill-scripting poor acting and absurd production. It destroyed the franchise and it is only now - eight years later - that anyone dares to attempt another film featuring the Dark Knight. It’s a brave thing to do even more so when you consider the poor reception afforded last year’s Halle Berry vehicle the misguided Catwoman. Christopher Nolan is the director of this summer’s prequel Batman Begins a respected British artist responsible for the excellent Memento and the English language re-make of Insomnia. The film as you might expect tells the story of Batman’s genesis in the wake of the murder of Bruce Wayne’s millionaire parents. Even better the film is to star the excellent Christian Bale - also British - who appeared in Reign of Fire American Psycho and The Machinist the latter being another film about an insomniac. It’s no surprise that Electronic Arts have the game rights given their relationship with Warner Brothers on whose behalf they produced the Harry Potter Looney Tunes and Catwoman games. The game features stealth-based elements as is so popular these days but instead of sneaking around to avoid detection by your enemies you must spring from the shadows and use surprise and mystery to terrify your prey. As you’d imagine you have access to a panoply of high-tech gadgets in your utility belt and there are a number of high speed levels in the all-new big wheeled Batmobile. Playing as Batman and Bruce Wayne you’ll have command of martial arts moves informed by the film’s fight co-ordinator and the game is scripted by JT Petty who worked on the Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell games. The environments of Gotham City Arkham Asylum and the Batcave are brought to life as never before. The film shows much promise and the industry’s biggest third-party megalith is doing its utmost to ensure that the game does it justice.

In these times of environmental concern and overpopulation the concept of extracting souls from human bodies to be used as an alternate energy source might seem a noble pursuit if a little macabre. But the biophysicist Henry Alfred Cole researching the possibilities of this concept was not to realise that one of the by-products of his experiments - soulless human bodies - would become not only zombies but empty vessels that could be possessed by demonic spirits. One such body has now been possessed by none other than the daemon Baphomet thought by Catholics to be the god of the Knights Templar. Revealing his true allegiance Baphomet has now founded a cult of Lucifer. Its sinister aim? To open the gates that bar the devil himself from entering the human world. As goths and other disaffected fetishists flock from around the world to help realise this dread mission you start asking questions about your missing friend: all you know is that he met with the leader of a Satanic cult the day before he disappeared. But your amateurish investigations are threatening the secrecy of the cult and its initiates decide it might be safest if you too disappear… As you begin to uncover your friend’s shocking fate you are plunged into a nightmare where the only option is to purge the earth of Lucifer’s vile minions. As the game proceeds you’ll acquire 24 different weapon types loads of hi-tech equipment like night vision goggles movement sensors and suchlike and watch hordes of vile creatures fall bloodily at your feet. Only you can stop what seems like the apocalypse itself.
