You are Catwoman. OK, you are a licensed likeness of the trademarked and copyrighted character heretofore, and in perpetuity, sole property of DC Comics. Translation: This is a game based on a comic, so it's probably poo. Third-person action follows the film’s story line, while you get a whip, acrobatic skills, and a mesmerizing kitty-sexiness to foil the bad guys. You can also scale walls, see in the dark, and spot trails of stank left behind. But even the addition of Halle Berry’s slinky form and sultry voice can’t pull unpolished game play with lousy camera angles out of the litter box. In adhering closely to the movie’s story (and release date), what could have been a decent adventure game wound up neutered instead.
