What's with all the Gears references? Are there Locust in Arkham? Batman sure is the size of a Gear mind...
With this and Splinter Cell on the way, I'm going to be a happy chappy as far as stealth games go! The demo was brilliant, and it sounds like the rest of the game is just as good.
I can't wait to get my hands on it. 7 hours? Where did I get 20 from :? ?
A little dissapointed it is so short but as others have said the Demo was brilliant and it will be a Day 1 pick up for me too.
BIFF KAPOW BAM Was hoping for more than 7 hours but im sure i'll play more than once and going by that review, theres a ton a replay. Great review can't wait to play it next friday on the PS3. Excellent. It's made oh so much sweeter by the pure fact I got it for just over 20 quid on a pre-order from thehut!
Awesome.
Can't wait. WANT NOW PLEASE WANT NOW PLEASE WANT NOW PLEASE Yeah, I remember reading in a few previews that the game is around 20 hours long. Oh well, as long as there is replayability it's all good.
On another note, I can't wait to get this, it's been a while since I've played a stealth game, or anything like Metroid or Zelda. Bring it on! :D Really glad I put my pre-order down now!
Urban Chaos was an absolutely awesome game, this sounds like another good one too :) as well as being a top game, well on ps3 it is, the preorder bonuses will have you spoilt for choice: I went for the poster :?:
arkham asylum It took the IGN review 9 hours to beat the main game and around 12 to get everything in it. The time its takes to beat the game just depends on the person.
And wtf at no multiplayer complaint. I'm glad they didnt bother. So what's wrong with the 360 version? 7 :P hours isnt bad . plus you'll have the challange modes aswel and for ps3 owners the Joker challange modes. And the vast ammount of collectables and voice recording of the inmates etc... Theres alot in the game really , cant wait for it to arrive through my letter box lol :D Yeah. The demo was a surprise(downloaded it last night). Very good. :D even if it is that short i pre ordered it for £22.45 delivered so when its finished i'll trade it in for probably more than i paid Sounds positively fantastic! I look forward to playing this game with the Xbox 360's gamepad. That said, I do not anticipate picking it up on release date. I think I'll wait a while and see if some place sells it at a lower price, or if someone is selling an near-new-in-condition second hand version for a cheaper price. Regardless, eventually this beauty will join my collection, oh yes. Nice, will definitely get this as the last decent batman game i played that i really enjoyed was back on the old Megadrive and Snes days! ;) I found this game a fine definition of what games these days are reduced to. You have to see that £30-£40 for a 7hr game is a lot of money. However many times you play it, it's still the same game!
The fighting is boring, being there only few moves to perform and the stealth integration is just lazy. It seems every place to grapple to just happens to be an conveniently placed gargoyle. I insist you waste your money if you want, but I think this was a major let-down. As a fan of the comic I had my eye on this. After the demo I knew it would be worth it, even if it is only 7 hours long. Come next Friday the game will be in my XBox360. i played a level of arkham asylum on x360 last month and it appeared as good, just that the ps3 game has more features you'll hear about. I think i will pay more attention to the all the great reviews this game has been getting rather than some random reviewing a demo.
Also you clearly havnt learned how to play the game, as when you get higher combos you can pull off more moves and unlock more moves & gadgets etc with XP. The fighting is simple if all you do is button mash, you wont get your combos very high by doing that. »
What features?
Joker challenge mode? That's one. What are the others?
Yeesh...Some people. »
IGN said the graphics were a tad sharper on the 360, but not that it really matters. Had my game pre-ordered for my 360 months ago, still tempted to change and get it for for my ps3 cos of the joker content. Then I am also tempted to get it for my PC for the better graphics and save some cash on it, tho thats not out till september now. Ah such a confusion. I think i will wait for the pc version, i played all 3 demos and physx adds just that little bit more to the feel of the game. »»
If you want a free training level (which is basically what the extra content you get with the PS3 version is. Dressed as the Joker) then go for the Game preorder, it comes with the free Scarecrow training level. I can live without being dressed as the Joker! i really cannot wait for this, a very polished and slick game with satisfying combat and stealth to boot. gamesradars review sealed it for me "this years bioshock" ... who wouldn't be sold after reading that. | 
More polish than Mr Sheen
