While the gameplay could still use some refinement and focus, the overall Vengeance adventure is an engaging and entertaining one.

It's a good game that truly engrosses the player into the role of Batman while demonstrating simple, but well-designed gameplay mechanics.

This game looks marvelous. Playing it honestly feels like you are in an interactive episode of the cartoon.

Cinematic presentation, chilling Gotham City atmosphere, a good comic book story, and decent gameplay make this game stand out above the rest of the licensed games on their way this year.

GameSpot

It doesn’t correct any of the mistakes made by its PS2 predecessor. [Feb 2002, p.92]

Xbox Exclusive

With the power that the XBox seems to be able to produce in the visual sense, you'll find that most of what is here is completely clean of the jagged edges, but it still fails to keep up in the detailing department!

Xbox Nation Magazine

The difficulty is amped up in the latter stages by a maddening focus on precision moves and platform jumps. [Spring 2002, p.92]

Official Xbox Magazine

It takes more than a pretty cape to impress us these days. [Feb 2002, p.70]
