Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu is an action beat ’em up game developed by Ubi Soft Montreal and published by Ubi Soft. It was released in 2003 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance.
Players control Batman or his allies—Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl—as they fight through Gotham City to stop a new villain, Sin Tzu, who uses mind control to manipulate other notorious criminals. The story follows Batman investigating a series of prison breakouts tied to Sin Tzu’s plans.
The gameplay centers on hand-to-hand combat against waves of enemies with both single-player and two-player cooperative modes available. Players unlock new fighting moves and upgrades as they progress. Additionally, a challenge mode offers combat scenarios separate from the main story.
The game received mixed reviews, with praise for its faithfulness to the animated series and cooperative gameplay, but criticism for repetitive combat mechanics.
