10 Most Underrated Batman Video Games You've Never Played
10. Batman Begins
Although it came out in a time where movie licensed games were particularly terrible, the tie-in to Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins was actually a rather impressive title that paved the way for the likes of Arkham Asylum years later.
Taking a more stealth-oriented approach to combat, EA's adaptation played up the horror elements that made the movie it was based on so memorable. Equipped with a wealth of gadgets and environmental attacks that you could utilise to terrify your enemies, the experience was one mostly played from the shadows, striking against your enemies only when the time was right.
However, EA's release didn't lose sight of the distinctive beat-em-up combat that you'd expect from all the best Batman games, and the bone-crushing combat proved to be an excellent reprieve from the more methodical stealth sections.
Plus, Begins featured the entire voice cast from the movie (bar Gary Oldman's Commissioner Gordon), and in an era where that just doesn't happen anymore, it's refreshing to pick up a good movie adaptation that doesn't suffer because it shares its DNA closely with the source material.
