Posted August 22, 2009 I got this game yesterday, and it's AMAZING. I dont care if you like batman or not, this game is still worth buying. It's much better than the demo. What surprised me is how much of the game is exploring and solving riddles and clues to get to the next story part. The game is not linear but still feels tight. And I do love the fighting system. I play on hard and you don't get help countering, but it's still smooth and intuitive. Only bad thing so far is the collision detection when fighting. BUY THIS GAME Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A 9/10 for you? Well hyped for this, not long now! Not been this excited over a game release since Street Fighter IV (and believe me, i was bouncing off the walls on the days running up to it).

Posted August 23, 2009 You played demo or not? Yeah, i only played it last night, went round a friends house who forced me to play on it (i had already decided to buy it based on reviews) It just felt so good, jumping on bits near the roof, the little screen coming up when ur in detection mode showing their heart rate and if there nervous, gliding down and killing a guy before going back to the roof without anyone realising... And if they find a body there shit themselves! It just feels like what batman is about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 24, 2009 A pleasant surprise: Not sure when it'll actually arrive — delivery time is quoted as "3-5 working days" — but I certainly can't complain about the price! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2009 Thanks for that, looks like mine has been despatched aswell. No email letting me know yet though so it was a nice suprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2009 I haven't received an e-mail yet either. I'm thinking that the games might not have actually been physically sent yet, merely processed so as to cope with what was probably a large amount of orders due to the price. In either case things are looking good for actually getting the game on or before release date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
