[edit] Gameplay
Similar to games like Final Fight, Batman Beyond plays as a Beat 'em up-type game where the player, as Batman, wanders through levels that are essentially side-scrolling, but have some depth to allow for three dimensional movement. The game is fairly simple along those lines.
[edit] Criticism
The game is heavily criticized for its lack of depth and its short length; many beat the game in under 20 minutes. The game has even received the worst game of the year from Game Informer magazine in 2001.[citation needed]
