The Adventures of Batman & Robin

[BEBOPlover]

All of you people who think this game has good music are nuts. Its annoying techno drivel. The SNES Batman & Robin's soundtrack is nice and true to the series unlike the grating techno death that is the genny's B&R "soundtrack".

"Nice and true to the series" is all well and good, but the B&R for the Genny didn't need it. At all. Period. Tommy Talarico had the Genesis singing. Only Gunstar Heroes matches it as far as action games go.

I think too many people go into this game looking to button mash there way through the first level only to quickly find themself at the continue screen. It's all about taking your time, sizing up your opponents, knowing there attacks and reacting to them. Especially in the early levels.

Later on twitch gaming and old-school memorization take over. The more I think about it the more I appreciate what the developers did.

Anyone ever see the import version. I understand there is a rare "pygmy" box. Whatever the hell that is. If I go to Japan next February as I'm supposed to I'll be on the lookout for it.

I think that's the very small game case, like what the original Genesis Batman had.

The original Batman is the only game I knew of that had that case type in Japan. So this does too?

Hmmmmmm, I read this out of Gamers Republic years ago. Dave was going on about something and made reference to having The Adventures of Batman and Robin with the Pygmy case.

I'm gonna email him.

Anyone have the import of this game?

Actually, the guy who did B&R's soundtrack is named Jasper Kyd.

TITLE : Batman & Robin
Publisher : Sega
Platform : Sega Genesis
Year : 1995

The purpose of this score was to do some intense action music, mixed with dark industrial elements. Sega and developer Clockwork Tortoise liked the Subterrania scored and hired me to do a dance score. I tweaked the sound program as much as possible while focusing on creating experimental dance music. I worked on creating effects such as distortion and it's was interesting to see how some people complained about the quality of the sounds, when everything had been planned
out in such detail. This score was written in Hollywood right after we moved from Boston. After Batman I wrote the score for Saxs (Shiny's Messiah & TheMatrix) Genesis & 32X game NitroWrecks. Nitrowrecks was later cancelled.

The other Genesis games he worked on like Red Zone all have the same style.

No way. The music that plays during the first two face battle and the mad hatter are amazing.
