Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Buyer Beware!
As other reviewers have pointed out, the game had a lot of potential to be the breakthrough Batman Game. It had a great storyline, but very poor character control. It took a few tries to perform some of the simplest tasks. He had a good arsenal of gadgets in his utility belt, which was a plus. But, overall, the game was very frustrating. Don't buy it unless you're a die-hard Batman fan.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - only for hard core batfans!
well with the recent release of batman begins i found my self engrossed in the world of batman and as such went hunting for what ever media i could find featuring the character. i played the batman begins and must say i loved it. i then found a used copy of dark tommorrow at the local blockbuster aand decided to get since it featured a good cast of batman villains. well i have to say i was somewhat dissapointed.

first off the good things. the graphics, music, storyline and voice over are on the spot. its all a hardcore fan of the caped crusader could want right? well the biggest turn off to the game is the horrible gameplay and camera that make it almost unplayable. after the first 2 levels or so i was starting to think i may never beat this game and i wasted $12. but after keeping at it for a few hours i pretty much figured out the controls and got the hang of it. i beat in about a day and a half. it is a rather short game.

well in conclusion, this game is only for the true batfan. any casual gamer will be put off by the junk camera and gameplay but if you can get the hang of it you will be treated a pretty decent story and graphics. villains featured are ra's al ghul, joker, mr.zsasz, mr. freeze, poison ivy, killer croc, ratcatcher, scarface and ventriloquist, and the black mask. if not for gameplay and camera this could have been "THE" batman game. anyway i liked it. for batfans this is worth a rental, all others beware.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Pleasure and Pain...lots of Pain
Browsing through the mix of reviews here for this game piqued my interest. The game seemed unquestionably bad, but yet with a glimmer of fun for the hardcore Batman fan. Being just such a fan, I decided to rescue a copy from the bargain bin and try it out myself.

I'll say its an absolute shame the controls and camera in this game suck, because otherwise this could've been *the* groundbreaking comic book-to-video game translation. The production values are amazing. You get not only very nicely rendered models of Batman and major villains like the Joker and Mr. Freeze, but also a bucketload of lesser villains and supporting characters like Black Mask, Killer Croc, Ratcatcher, Lt. Montoya, and the Cassandra Cain Batgirl. This is probably the only time fans will ever see these characters in 3-D. There is a full orchestral soundtrack which can also be unlocked for listening, along with a gallery of production art. The voice acting is suprisingly strong too, considering how fans are used to the superb voice-acting from the animated shows. The in-game graphics are also nicely detailed in ways that the cel-shaded Vengeance and Sin Tzu Batman games can't hope to match.

However, playing the game is like performing a masochistic ritual. The camera is fixed like Resident Evil, but cuts to so many different angles in a single room that it screws up the players sense of direction and control. Finding Black Mask in the warehouse stage while he guns you down is horribly frustrating. There is also the poor implementation of stealth. In a bit of realism, enemies gang up on you and even kick you when you're down, forcing you to find creative ways to fight them seperately. You might be asked to lean out from behind a crate, knock an enemy down with a batarang, then go up and disable him with handcuffs. However, by the time you toss the batarang, press the various buttons to unstick yourself from the wall and maneuver the camera angles to find the bad guy you just took down, he'll be back on his feet and have sounded the alarm. What could have been a fun stealth experience is completely ruined by poor programming.

If Kemco had put just a bit more polish into this game, it could've been so much better. Batman: Dark Tomorrow is playable, but only in a way that makes you scream in frustration every step of the way. If you're a Batman fan, I invite you to come experience the pleasure and pain. If you're not, there's no reason to go near this game at all.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It was a excellent game but could of been better!!!
The Game has excellent cinemas on the gamecube but not the xbox version because that was a port that became a disaster.I mean it,The Camera Angles may be screwy in this one and camera angles are good in the xbox version,so whats the different,supereasy controls -GC Horrible Controls -Xbox Camera Angles bad -GC Camera Angles good - xbox,so both has its faults but the best version would be the gamecube version.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - its humanly impossible to enjoy this
