Revisiting the 1998 'Batman & Robin' PS1 Game: An Underrated Open-World Pioneer?

A recent video from gaming outlet Vandal has reignited discussions around the 1998 PlayStation title, "Batman & Robin," positing it as one of the most underrated games featuring the Caped Crusader. Released in a year dominated by blockbusters like Metal Gear Solid, Tekken 3, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the game struggled to find critical acclaim. Despite its initial poor reception, the video highlights the game's ambitious open-world design for its time, allowing players to freely navigate Gotham City as Batman, Robin, or Batgirl, each with their distinct vehicles. The game, which drew inspiration from the critically panned film of the same name, was largely criticized for its controls and overall design. However, the video suggests that its pioneering open-world mechanics, almost three decades later, offer a surprising level of depth that was perhaps overlooked during its initial release.
