---------------------
Step into the shadows of Gotham Citys perilous criminal
underworld as DC Comics legendary Dark Knight in the Batman
Begins video game. Batman Begins challenges players to use fear
as their ultimate weapon. The game explores the origins of the
Batman legend and the Dark Knights emergence as a force for good
in Gotham. Gamers will play as both Bruce Wayne and his
alter-ego, Batman, hunting evil-doers from the shadows, using
strength, intellect, and an array of high-tech gadgets to fight
the sinister forces that threaten the city, including classic
villains the ecrow, Ras Al Ghul, and Carmine Falcone.
Turning traditional stealth-based gameplay on its ear--by
allowing gamers to play the hunter, rather than the
hunted--Batman Begins delivers the Batman universe as never
before. Stalking criminals from the shadows, gamers will discover
new ways to paralyze thugs with fear before engaging in
hand-to-hand combat, or interrogating them. From the halls of
Arkham Asylum and the alleys of Gotham City to an ancient
monastery high in the Himalayas, Batman Begins the video game
delivers a thrilling interactive companion to Christopher Nolans
reinvention of the Dark Knight in Batman Begins.
Features:
* Fear is your weapon: Stalk and terrorize enemies, or strike
from above to pick off prey one by one. Use the environment to
turn enemies against each other and defeat them before ever
joining the fight. Take out an enemy with an attack from above
and watch the fear level of his fellow thugs increase.
* Interactive environments: gamers must use their environments,
from scaling buildings and gliding between rooftops, to
triggering explosions and unleashing the insane inmates of Arkham
Asylum against their enemies, to bring justice to Gotham.
* Cinematic combat: mixed martial-arts combat and devastating
finishing moves developed exclusively for Batman Begins are
faithfully recreated in the game with the assistance of the
films stunt coordinator.
* The bat utility belt: delve deep into the ultimate arsenal of
high-tech crime fighting gadgets, including the batgrapple,
batarang, optic cables, and lock picks.
* The batmobile: Tear up the streets and rooftops of Gotham in
the batmobile. Fight crime in multiple levels of lightning-fast
vehicular combat.
* Experience Gotham City: Batman Begins brings gamers into the
Batman universe, allowing them to experience the origins of the
Dark Knight as both Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego Batman--from
the alleys of Gotham City and depths of the Batcave to the
twisted halls of Arkham Asylum.
* Epic storytelling: featuring a game script by JT Petty, the
accled writer of Tom Clancys Splinter Cell, Batman Begins
allows players to delve even deeper into the universe masterfully
depicted in Christopher Nolans film.
