Gameplay

Similar to games like Final Fight, Batman Beyond plays as a beat 'em up-type game where the player, as Batman, wanders through levels that are essentially side-scrolling, but have some depth to allow for three dimensional movement. The game is fairly simple along those lines.

Reception

The game received mostly negative reviews by critics on the PlayStaion and Nintendo 64 versions. The Game Boy Color version received mostly mixed reviews.
