Batman- Classic TV Show Version
Played this game on demo mode and it does have great entertainment value. I feel these 'wonder wheels' will prove popular and the dynamic and various bonus games will be nostalgic (and slightly corny) for those who really remember the original Batman TV series and the creative characters and villains.
Highlight: Payback is fixed, all versions at 88.5%, typical for a mega progressive.
