Based on Christopher Nolan's landmark 2005 film, Batman Begins on PS2 is a genuinely underrated stealth-action game that leans heavily into the fear mechanics that defined the movie's version of the character. This isn't just a film tie-in with combat bolted on it was developed with Nolan's direct input, and it shows.

The core mechanic is using fear against your enemies. Rather than just brawling through every encounter, you're encouraged to stalk from the shadows, use the environment to terrorise groups of criminals before they even know you're there, and turn the lights out before moving in. Each encounter has a fear meter the more you unnerve enemies before engaging, the more effective your attacks become. It's a genuine stealth system that pre-dates the Arkham games by several years and does some things those games never quite matched.

The campaign follows the film's story across locations including the Himalayan monastery, Wayne Manor, Gotham City's streets, and Arkham Asylum. Villains include Scarecrow, Ra's Al Ghul and Carmine Falcone, each with their own encounter style. Gadgets Batarangs, grapple, explosive gel are all present and used contextually rather than just as combat tools.

For fans of the Nolan trilogy or the Arkham series looking to trace where that style of Batman gameplay began, this is a worthwhile piece of the history.
