10 Most Underrated Batman Video Games You've Never Played

There may be nothing special to separate Batman Forever's combat from similar 2D side-scrollers on this list, but the beat-em-up's gameplay is just so thoroughly addicting. Without any of the pace-ruining platforming or narrative sections that rudely bring the action to a halt in other outings, Batman Forever knows you're only here to put goons in the ground.

Its a mentality which means the vibrant combat rarely ever stops, only increasing in intensity as you move from stage to stage in one of the most underrated superhero games to ever hit the PS1.

And the title itself, despite being based on one of the campiest movies in the whole franchise, actually comes with a truly impressive and atmospheric visual style that sticks closer to the gothic stylings that the superhero is known for.

The game really excels once you throw another player into the mix too, letting you battle your way through famous stages from the film as the dynamic duo of Batman and Robin. It's not often that a game can nail a sense of character and atmosphere better than the movie it's based on, yet the PS1 adaptation of Batman Forever completely blows its source material out the water.
