This game is not only one of the best batman games of all time, but also one of the best NES games of all time. It is a 2D plataformer based on the movie "Batman" released on the same year.

The gameplay works very well, the controls are responsive and precise wich helps on the plataform sections, but there's a lot of enemies through the level to complicate them. There are different ways to defeat the enemies, because Batman carries 3 weapons with him, that help you in different situations through the game.

The visuals don't refer to the Batman movie at all, you will pass through hi tech military bases and fight with soliders and robots. The only references to the movie are the cutscenes and the last boss, the Joker (the first boss looks like Firefly but it's not him).

The graphics are really good and detailed duting the gameplay, but they shine in the cutscenes that adapt the main moments of the movie.

This game is difficult on the first play, but after some attempts it's easy to learn how to deal with each enemy and boss, making this game very fun to play.

Finaly, it isn't the best adaption of the movie to the videogames, but it don't have to be, beucase this game have it's own visual identity and has aged very well. It's really worth playing
