Next Level Gaming
I became addicted to this game rather quickly. Its’ balance of a developing story and increasing difficulty levels kept me coming back for more.

Perhaps the biggest change is the smooth, clear graphics.

Game Informer
The best thing going for it is the very well done graphical style. [Mar 2004, p.114]

GameZone
Rigid combat. limited game control, and other below average parts in the game just doesn't cut it.

GamingTrend
The lack of innovation and depth of this game, as well as the password system, really ruin the game.
68
Nintendo Power
The game is a clever 2-D platformer that makes the most of Batman's gadgets...but has little fighting-move variety. [Jan 2004, p.160]

Nintendojo
Though it cannot entertain the same kind of technological prowess as Vengeance and Sin Tzu Senior, the sadly forgotten Sin Tzu Advance attains numerous merits that put it a cut above its bulkier console brethren.

Game Chronicles
Has all the makings of a great game if only the designers had put more effort into the combat and perhaps mixed up the action with some puzzles and utility belt access.

GameSpy
Doesn't capture the spirit of the Dark Knight, and it's barely as interesting as most platformers for the two-decade-old NES.

IGN
Started out extremely promising, but ended up bland and unexciting because of the lack of any variety in gameplay. It's a mindless brawler.
50
GamingWorld X
The game is repetitive, uninspired, and does nothing to compliment the Batman legacy.
45
Worth Playing
The gameplay is disappointing, though, and isn't even much fun in a mindless, repetitive sort-of way. The level design drags the whole event down even more, and the lack of a real save system makes playing the game that much more frustrating.
