The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A stiff, awkward crawl through Gotham's shadows that constantly fights against the player rather than letting them feel like Batman.

About

Batman: Dark Tomorrow is an action-adventure video game developed by HotGen and published by Kemco for the Nintendo GameCube and Microsoft Xbox consoles. The Xbox version is not compatible with the Xbox 360. It is based on the DC Comics' character Batman and his iteration from the DC Universe source material, unlike most other Batman games which are adaptations of the character in film or television appearances.
