In The Adventures of Batman and Robin, Robin and Commissioner Gordon have both gone missing. The Dark Knight suspects that one or more of the usual suspects might be involved, including Poison Ivy, Riddler, and The Joker. He sets out in his trusty Batmobile to set the situation right. Much of the game consists of 3D driving action behind the wheel of the Batmobile. There are also levels in which the Caped Crusader must stage an aerial assault using the Batwing. In between levels, the player is treated to a series of cutscenes which comprise nearly an entire exclusive episode of Batman: The Animated Series, upon which the game is based. www.Mobygames.com

Since the driving sequences were such a hit in Batman Returns (Sega, 1992), Sega opted to make Batman and Robin nothing but driving. As you weave the Batmobile through traffic and engage your turbo boost, it almost feels like an early version of Burnout (Gamecube, 2002). The non-stop driving wears thin in a hurry though, and the controls are not up to the task. Steering is imprecise, and colliding with any vehicle sends you bouncing around like a pinball. When trailing certain vehicles, villains will drop bouncing objects that behave like heat-seeking missiles! One stage places you in a „virtual reality“ world, but there are far too many hazards to overcome. You'll be wishing Sega had incorporated some side-scrolling action just to break up the monotony. Still, Batman and Robin's graphics and animation are pretty impressive for a 16-bit system, and the adrenaline-pumping music is terrific. Many popular villains make appearances, including Poison Ivy, the Joker, and the Riddler. Lengthy, full-screen cut-scenes divide the stages, and although somewhat grainy they're still fun to watch. The final stage is actually a flying sequence that's visually pleasing but not satisfying to play. Come to think of it, that sentiment holds true for pretty much the entire game! www.videogamecritic.net

An update of Batman Returns minus crappy platform bits but some excellent cartoon animation between levels. One of the few 'very good' Mega-CD games and extremely rare. Those hunting for perhaps the rarest official Mega-CD game should look in Spain - pretty much every copy held by collectors has come from there. www.sega-mega-cd-library.co.uk
