Rise of the Bat

User Rating: 9.6 | Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu PS2
Batman Rise of Sin Tzu, the sequel to Batman Vengeance, gave us a totally new original character to add to Batman's rouges, different game play, and the entire Batfamily. Play as Batman, Robin, Batgirl or Nightwing and even unlock their classic costumes.
So to compare this to its predecessor is just unfair, RoSZ is a totally different style game. Where Vengeance was a mix of fighting, detective work and a bit of skillful driving (flying) Sin Tzu is a beat 'em up no nonsense no brainer game. And I mean no brainer in a good way. Using the same animated format and once again all the same voice actors from the animated series, this game is a nice different sequel to Vengeance. Though I missed the bit of "detective" work and the use of the Batmobile and Batplane I still really enjoyed this game. Mostly cause you get to play as all the Batfamily, choosing whomever you want to play the game with, unlock different moves, and enjoy a very well crafted story line with a great end game battle.
I even got my brother, not a Batman fan, to play the game with me, and you won't get him to admit it but he had fun playing it too.
The control on the game was a bit sticky at times but never really hampers the game play, the acting was just superb, I think my favorite other then the end battle scenes is the Clayface end battle scene. Now only if they could mesh Vengeance and Sin Tzu into one you'd have one kick butt Batman game...there is going to be a 3rd right....right...right...????
