    Anyone else going to pick this game up? Looks unbelievable. IGN gave it a 9.3.. here's the video review.

    The demo is available on the XBOX Live marketplace and I'm sure it's on PSN as well. It's so much fun. Can't wait to get it.

    I am not really a gamer anymore. Every Batman game has always sucked in my lifetime, but I will give this a chance. I will download the demo tonight and see if I like it.

    I started playing it yesterday, it's amazing. I love hanging in rafters on the ceiling and picking off groups of thugs one by one. As you do it, you go into "detective" mode and you can see their heart rate, and if they are scared and shit. It's mad fun to fuck with them by setting traps everywhere. I love it.

    It's a must buy.The story is incredible so far.

    Ordered it today on amazon. $52.99. Good deal. Hopefully I will be able to play it Friday when I get home for the 3 day weekend!

    Cancelled the order and just bought it at Gamestop last night. It was not even in the mail yet! Haha, but the game is AMAZING so far. I love all the same voices from TAS and the graphic novel look the game has.

    I'm looking into buying this game, but does it have multiplayer or Xbox live games? I don't like buying games that once you beat everything you're done, I like games you can play as much as you want and not get sick of, and if it is just a story mode how long is it? Is it worth just renting it?

    Do you like Batman? If so, it is a must buy. It is hard to put down and a pretty long game. I honestly have not looked into online stuff yet cause I am consumed with the story still, which has been awesome. Feels like you are in a movie.

    Beat the game in a day, and still do challenges every other day. Well worth it.

    I played the demo and wasn't that impressed. Seemed like a bad God of War.

    Yes, I'm sure I played the right game. I don't let what other people say influence me though, I just call it how I see it. It was too cartoony for me, and jerky controls. The storyline seemed like it had premise, but there was nothing interesting enough about the game for me to stick around.

    Finally beat the game today. It was great. Don't listen to "I have my own views" guy. Everyone has their own views and the game is ranked high for a reason. Story was great too. Too bad it is over. Took me 2 weeks to beat I guess. Playing an hour every other day.

    Oh I see. I am saying don't listen to him, yet expressing my own view and basically saying to listen to my own instead of allowing others to make their own opinions.

    on top of that, you're basically saying to not ever listen to anyone ever at all ever ever ever, because, you said EVERYONE, has their own views. don't listen to "i have my own views guy". don't listen to anyone.
