Every Batman Video Game Ranked From Worst To Best

22. Batman: Gotham City Racer

While it's fair to say that most players who boot up a Batman title want the complete experience - as in being able to play as Batman and all the aspects that role embodies - there's nothing to say that a title centred around just the Batmobile would be bad.

It's the coolest ride in Batman's arsenal after all, and burning rubber through the streets of Gotham should be fun on paper.

Unfortunately Gotham City Racer - the only console Bat-title to put the above theory into practice - was anything but fun. It was another Ubisoft title developed for the PlayStation and was once again inspired by the DC Animated Universe, but it ended up being a real chore to play.

The Batmobile handles terribly, and the sound design is just as bad.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
