A side-scrolling action game with you taking the role of Batman as you work your way through levels beating up, what I’m assuming based on the title, Joker’s thugs who want nothing more than to kill you.  You’ll face enemies of all types as well as numerous traps blocking your path.  It’s a pretty straight forward game.  You traverse the levels and obstacles in which you get to a boss battle at the end which kind of turns into a fighting game of sorts.  

Visuals:

I don’t think this was a Batman game originally as the levels look very out of place in the world of Batman and the Joker.  Everything just kind of looks like the old European vibe to it, like Castlevania, with Batman shoehorned in the middle of it.  The levels are nice looking though with some pretty good parallax and well defined traps and little details.  Batman himself is also a nice sprite as it is highly detailed showing his muscles and cowl.  I just wish he fit in with the world better.

Audio:

Nothing really stands out from an audio standpoint.  The music seems rather generic but upbeat for the motif of the game.  Likewise with the sound effects.  Batman’s gun (?) makes an unsatisfying woosh when it shoots. 

Completion:

I got to the second world when I finished all the lives on my third continue.  There seems to be more than three [infinite?] but I stopped there because I had my fill of the game.  I went through the first level feeling out the mechanics and lost a bunch of lives but I ended up beating that world’s baddie on my first try.  It was a weird little fighting game of attrition to see who shot the other the most.  The second world was dumb because it had moving platforms which would actually activate by the enemies.  That’s how I died on my last continue.  They activated one then a powerup that fell activated another.  I couldn’t progress so I tried to jump the gap and failed.

You are a transfer student from the big city sent to live with your relatives for a year in the sleepy rural town of Inaba.  Strange incidents start to happen with you being able to enter the TV to a world of shadows.  As the days progress you start to make friends, take on many hobbies, and even some side jobs.  While this is going on murders start occuring and you realize it’s up to you and your Investigation Squad to solve the case.  The game is a very traditional turn based RPG with you picking elements correctly in order to discover enemy weaknesses which give you another turn.  Play the cards right and you can destroy enemies without them even getting a chance to fight back.  When you’re not in dungeons, you have to manage your days because you really only get one shot, a day, to do something substantial.  This can be anything from hanging out with friends [to increase your closeness with them], building up your stats, or any of a multitude of things.  It may seem overwhelming, but it’s not.  I can’t believe I forgot the titular Persona aspect!  A Persona is your other self and, with you being Zero, you can have a multitude of Persona’s to battle for you.  You can either fuse stronger Personas from weaker ones or just find them after battle.  This aspect of the game goes pretty hard and it is rather interesting to see the designs for them.

Visuals:

P4 Golden is a remaster of the 2008 PlayStation 2 game so the visuals of the overall package are really not something to get hung up about.  The in-game character models are low detail but they get the point across.  The world of Inaba is small but it has all the hallmarks of a small town: Shopping district, river, mall, etc.  This is where you’ll find the people you’ve met throughout the game just hanging out.  And what people they are!  The characters are all fully realized and each have their own little quirks to them.  You get little talking heads during the conversations that emote depending on what the scene calls for so it’s cute in that aspect.  The real winner of the game is the presentation of the UI.  Everything is going for a television motif and it shows really well.  It doesn’t get hard to read or go too far.  It’s a nice blend of flair and subtlety.

Audio:

Most of the audio is the same from the original release but you do get new actors for some of the characters, notably Chie.  Despite that, most of the dialog is voice acted and I love how all of the voice actors play their characters.  Like their appearance, each person has their own personality.  It does get a little weird hearing them talking English then all of a sudden start spouting Japanese customs or words nonchalantly.  No biggie though.  The soundtrack, though, is fucking fire.  All the dungeons, background music, everything is just hit after hit all in a lovely little package.

Completion:

I FINISHED THIS GAME!  After about 45 hours, I can say Persona 4 Golden is done.  I’d played the 2008 game and I feel this one surpassed it in every category.  I did feel bad that I was basically dating every of my female companions with nary of a peep from any of them until Valentine’s Day when I was just getting heartbreak after heartbreak when they said I didn’t pick them.  Brutal.  I finished the main story and Inaba is now at peace, finally.  I’m glad the game is done but a part of me wishes to New Game+ it.  Maybe in the future!
