Though not without its share of flaws, Batman: Vengeance for the PlayStation 2 was the best Batman game in years, and it's now arrived for the Nintendo GameCube as well. The game is essentially a straight port with only a few minor enhancements, mostly graphical. While there's nothing here that would warrant picking up this version if you already owned the PlayStation 2 edition, the GameCube version slightly edges out its PS2 brother.
For those keeping track of continuity, Batman: Vengeance is based on Paul Dini and Bruce Timm's smart and stylish cartoon series, rather than on Tim Burton's and Joel Schumacher's films or on DC Comics' comic book series. You play as the "dark knight" himself and enjoy access to all his wonderful toys, including the batmobile, batplane, and batarangs, just to name a few, and you'll need them all to fight the enemies you'll face, such as Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, and, yes, The Joker. Without giving too much of the game's storyline away, The Joker has apparently set a plot in motion from beyond the grave, and you're obliged to play along in order to uncover his plans.
