Batman Begins is an action-adventure game that delves into the origins of the Batman legend. You'll play as both Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego, navigating evil forces in iconic locations such as Arkham Asylum, Gotham City, and the Himalaya.
The gameplay combines stealth and brutal combat, with Batman at your disposal. He boasts a range of moves, from kicks and punches to special attacks. You can target multiple enemies simultaneously and use gadgets like the Batgrapple to reach higher areas or deploy smoke and flash grenades to create diversions.
Additionally, certain levels transform Batman Begins into a racing game, where you'll drive the Batmobile at high speeds through Gotham City. Your progress is measured by a reputation meter, which increases for taking out cops and thugs but decreases for harming civilians.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where you play as Batman, pursuing criminals and uncovering a sinister plot to save Gotham City. Players engage in combat, stealth, and detective work, utilizing fear tactics and strategic planning to overcome enemies and progress through the story.
Story
PASSAGE TO GOTHAM
Flash back to a chase in the Batmobile. You must recover an object stolen from Wayne Enterprises Applied Sciences Division.
The pursuit turns into a rolling battle against the fleeing truck's escort of armed vans. Destroy the truck before it's too late.
FALCONE'S BLACK MARKET CLUB
Flash back to Falcone's Club, which you are trying to gain access to. Hunt down Detective Flass to interrogate him about Dr. Crane's drug shipments.
Find out where the drug shipments went.
THE NARROWS
The Narrows is the skid row of Gotham. It is populated by seedy, rundown buildings and is rife with criminals.
It is a dangerous and dilapidated area.
ARKHAM ASYLUM
Arkham Asylum houses some of the city's most depraved criminals. Within its claustrophobic halls, Dr. Crane is developing an evil plan.
You must visit Arkham to uncover this plot and save your childhood friend, Rachel.
SAVING RACHEL
Race back to the Batcave in the Batmobile to save Rachel before the fear toxin destroys her mind. The police will try to stop you.
Do everything you can to outrun them.
WAYNE MANOR
Everyone knows Wayne Manor as home to bachelor Bruce Wayne. It is from this estate that Bruce Wayne's butler, Alfred, operates.
Alfred transmits information and guidance to Batman from here. It is here that you uncover a dark secret.
DEFENDER OF GOTHAM
Who is the power behind the sinister plot to destroy Gotham and how do they intend to perpetrate their crimes?
It will take all of your training and strength to save your city and bring justice to its enemies.
HINTS AND TIPS
Attack your enemies intelligently. You are more effective if your enemy doesn't even see you coming and can't prepare himself to counter your attack.
It is very difficult to get past an enemy with a firearm if you don't use fear to overcome him. When an enemy is afraid, he is unable to fire with accuracy.
When he reloads his weapon in a panic, he is more apt to jam the weapon and then discard it.
When you enter a new environment, press the D-button to cycle through the interactive targets in the area. This allows you to strategize and prioritize how best to handle a situation.
