So using evasion, stealth and fear to throw off the bad guys is a big part of succeeding in this brains-over-brawn game. Unlike other action games - where you can withstand a remarkable amount of punches, bullets and grenade explosions and still wreak unfettered havoc - Batman can't take a lot of punishment in "Batman Begins." Even when Batman's at full health, a short burst of machine gun fire is enough to bring him down. But they're absolutely essential in "Batman Begins" because you're playing with an extremely vulnerable hero who can ill-afford to take on too many bad guys at once. Such mind games in video games are unusual. Sometimes, they'll even make fun of your costume. But if you have a low rep, the bad guys get much more aggressive and are a lot harder to defeat. When the baddies are sufficiently afraid of you, they don't fight as well and are too nervous to get off a clean shot at you. The bad guys' fear level is also depicted by a bar on your screen - a red one. With a notorious rep, the bad guys become tentative and easily scared when you encounter them. But if you struggle in the fight sequences and let the bad guys land enough punches on you, your reputation will decrease. Whenever you thoroughly whip a room full of bad guys or interrogate a scared henchman, your reputation increases. As you move through the missions, the game keeps track of your reputation level, which is represented by a yellow bar on the bottom right-hand side of the screen.

The game loosely follows the movie's depiction of how a still wet-behind-the-bat-ears Dark Knight got his start battling the psychotic Scarecrow, the mysterious Ra's Al Ghul and Gotham City crime boss Carmine Falcone. But if you're a superhero, your most important tool is your reputation, your "street cred" - that legendary aura about you that says, "Don't mess with me I'm for real."Ī fearsome rep is your most important weapon in "Batman Begins," the new video game based on the hit movie.
