Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu, Sony Playstation

Following up last week's Xbox release, the latest virtual adventure of Batman makes its way over to the PlayStation 2. A 3D beat-em-up, Rise of Sin Tsu takes its visual inspiration from the dark and moody cartoon series of more recent times, lending the game a much more cooler image than the Caped Crusader started out with. 'Holy Cow Batman!' [right, that's enough of that!] As the title implies, a new adversary is on the loose for our hero, in the form of the evil Sin Tzu. A master in the deadly art of war, Sin Tzu is driven by a lone desire to conquer and, in search of only the worthiest of opponents, has descended on the oft-targeted Gotham City in search of the Caped Crusader himself. The game features a total of 12 levels for you to punch and kick your way through, including such haunts as Gotham City Docks, Crime Alley and Arkham Asylum. Not only does Batman make an appearance, but you can also choose to play as sidekick Robin, or even two other Bat-allies, Nightwing and Batgirl. And should things prove a bit too tough out there on the mean streets of Gotham, the game thankfully comes complete with a two-player co-op mode, so you can team up with a mate. In total, you've got more than 35 powerful martial arts moves and combos at your disposal, in the quest to lay waste to the onslaught of villains. Not only that but the famous utility belt makes a welcome appearance, offering up a variety of handy gadgets such as the Baterang, a grappling hook and smoke bombs. Anyone familiar with the work of scriptwriter Flint Dille and artist Jim Lee will be pleased to learn that both these legendary comic book creators have lent a hand in the development of the game, ensuring that the on-screen action remains faithful to its origins.
