Topic: Batman Arkham Asylum

All I can say after playin the demo is OMG. Im goin to cancel my preorder on NHL 2010 and gettin this instead. I never EVER expected it to be that awesome.

Haven't played the demo yet, but I'm reserving the 360 version as soon as I can and getting me that skeleton level.

The demo on psn was really that good. The retail version will look and play better than the demo. The demo itself was well polished.

Did you hang from the Gargoyle and then drop down on an enemy and hang him? That was it for me... sold. Im a long time Bat Fan... I saw the original Batman on opening day when I was a child and have been hooked since. This may very well be the best Batman game ever. My fav so far is the NES game.

Sounds like it's gonna be a good game. I was going to download the demo but I finally filled up my hard drive. I'm definitely gonna have to make some room and download the demo after reading the positive comments.

That moment made my day. I too am a huge Batman fan and Joker is one of my favorite villians of all time. This is one of the few lisenced games that looks both faithful AND fun.

PS3 has the Jocker exclusive as a playable character. I cant wait.

I need to try out the demo, it's time to pay the PlayStation Store a visit!

Yes you do and then drop a line back on what you think lol.

Finally, the demo is available! I've had the PC demo 'reserved' on FilePlanet for weeks! I gave up on it and haven't been checking the status of it anymore. Thanks for the reminder. I'll go download it now!

It was good but the combat was a bit...simple. And the way all the enemy's tend to fall down when defeated was ridiculous. On the other hand, getting the majority of the Batman Animated series voice cast was a awesome idea! Mark Hamill is the best Joker in my books.

I absolutely loved everything about it. I'm getting it day one. The character designs are some of the best of any video game ever. They did a phenomenal job on this game....thus far...

I think the fighting will ramp up quite a bit into the game. The demo is very short. I think it will be great. Hope so anyways.

It should also be said, this isn't a fighting game...I thought it was made pretty clear in the demo that stealth and the detective work will over take the fighting. Only the first part dealt with fighting so you can get the basics. It was all about stealth after that. I think those going into it expecting a beat-em up will be incredibly disappointed.

Sweet demo. (PC version.) I'm glad that hand-to-hand combat isn't a major part; I was sucking until the stealth part came in. I love swooping down taking someone out and then hiding as the baddies freak out over their fallen comrade.

"Stupid boiler!"

I thought it was nice but I'm worried that the stealth aspect may get too static and automatic with its emphasis on grappling up to points and then dropping on enemies. There seemed to be alternate methods in the final room but it didn't feel like those were worth using, seemed much more risky and clunkier to use.

Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill's what sold it to me:) I totally agree with you there!

If I get an PS3, this is one of the games I'm considering getting, especially since the game is universally acclaimed.

the demo is great, cant wait for the game to come out
