Aquaman: The Battle for Atlantis is another game in a long line of worthless hero-games. The only hero game worse than this one is Superman 64.
In this game, you play as Aquaman. Unfortunately, that's about the end of the story as far as I'm concerned. A few before me have tried to describe the plot. They all went insane.
The game is horrific. The fighting system is worthlessly simplistic, with some horrendously intricate combos thrown in for some reason. The character models are stiff and unreasonably blocky. The only interesting thing about the graphics is the realistic physics model on Aquaman's golden locks.
Aquaman's special ability is that he can talk to fish, right? How do they work this into the game? You can summon a fish to tackle the enemy. That's it. No riding manta rays, no controlling sharks to do more damage, nothing of any real interest at all.
This game is about as dull and uninteresting as the Aquaman of the olden days. The one dressed in orange and green from the old Superfriends show.
Don't play this game. Don't look at this game. If someone gives you this game as a present, you should consider it an insult of the highest caliber and act accordingly. If you find this game somewhere you should either immediately break it into tiny pieces and use the pieces to make a mosaic of some kind, or use the disc as a really expensive coaster.
Remember kids, if you buy games at this extremely low level of quality, you only encourage companies to make more. This has been a Public Service Announcement from VTMarik.
