First, everyone knows how great of a game this is, so I am not going to comment on this aspect. Instead, I will address what could of been better. Still a great title that you need to buy. . CONS 1.) There is absolutly no challenge to beating this game. That is probably why it feels so short in story mode. It's over in a blink of an eye. 2.) With all the characters in this game, it would have been nice if they added an online multip player game or at least co-op story mode. 3.) The story was okay, but could of been developed a little more. There was no mystery to the plot and you can pretty much guess what is going to happen next. As a result, you get a feeling that Batman could of played more of detective role if the story was better. In turn, you would then become more invested in the character. 4.) Although Bain and Croc show up as bosses in the game, they reallly don't add anything to the story. Also, you find Ridller clues which he taunts you, but where is the man himself? Where is the peinguin and Mr. Feeze? 5.) Scarecrow and the nightmare scenes are VERY impressive. The eriee sounds and mind blowing graphics really can't be described in words. However, Scarecrow as a boss was really disappointing. Just avoid his sight and you got him beat.... you got to be kidding (that easy). At least have his syringe hand come after you or something!!!
What's great about it: Cutting edge graphics, flawless controls and smooth animation, challenge modes addictive
What's not so great: Game way too short and easy. No online multiplayer

I have played the demo for this game on a PS3 in Best Buy. The control scheme works in its favor. It seems action packed and so far really seems to capture the feeling of a more adult oriented Dark Knight. I feel like this is going to be a winning title.
The downside is the fact that (as of now or that im aware of) there is no plans for Online Multiplayer which could make the game go stale depending on length and difficulty, which the later seemd to lack slightly but then again who would buy the game if they couldnt beat the demo!
Overall i would have to say that if you are looking for a solid Single player expieriance this game should be a very solid title. However if XBL is your thing, Arkham Asylum might be a weekend rent.
What's great about it: Graphics, Game Controls, Captures (what i believe to be) True Batman Feel
What's not so great: Replayability, Word of Joker as a playable character... PS3 only

I had the privledge of playing the demo of this game and all that i have to say is good things about this game. The fighting was fantastic, there were points that me and others were totally geeking about how badly the baddies were getting their butts whooped, and the graphics were great. Along with a pretty good layout on the controller (For the PS3 at least) (The batarang could definitely be moved to the face buttons), a promising story line, and some crazy looking baddies, I'm already sure that i am getting this game as soon as humanly possible!
What's great about it: Very fluid fighting technique, Beautiful Graphics

I've been waiting for this game to come out for months now and it's driving me crazy! I played the demo at Best Buy and loved it right when I started to play. The creators have definetly done a wonderful job on the graphics and overall structure of Batman and how he fights. You really get the real feel that your Batman fighting. It probably won't have multiplayer so you should play the demo for your self and see if you'd like it or not.
What's great about it: Nice graphics, with a smooth and unique combat fighting style.
