Played through it, and gotta say it's cool shit. The "Free Flow Combat" technology is actually pretty cool, and the variety of moves and takedowns constantly makes me feel badass. The stealth, while not quite as refined, is still a blast to play through; picking off inmates one by one while their comrades become ever more fearful is surprisingly entertaining.

You can get it of XBL or PSN.

Too bad my 360 is broken. Is there a Mac version or at least a PC version?

Sweet, this game actually supports PhysX.

The demo is fun, and for once, actually gives a good introduction on the kind of stuff you'll be doing. However, expect the download to be longer than the demo itself, especially for PC.

sorry for the bump.

I played through the demo and the only pick I have with the game is how batman looks. He just seems a bit overly buff at the top half compared to the bottom half. Game looks amazing.

Sorry for the 1 month bump, but seeing how it's going to release in 3 days, you should get it if you like free roaming games or batman for that matter.

Got my pre-ordered copy early from EB Games. Beat the story in about 6 hours on Normal difficulty. If you want, I can go into detail or if you have any questions about the game I'll be happy to answer.

Batman looks kinda like George Clooney, is that his voice I hear playing him?

So its a free roaming game? So its not a linear storyline like I thought it was? Hmm sounds interesting. Demo is 2GB though :O Damn.

I've always had mixed feelings about this game. I was never too too interested in it, but it does look really well done. I think I'll download the demo, and take a look at it. Would you guys who've played it say that it's worth taking a look?

And the demo is also EXTREMELY short.

Is it true that if you don't use a Nvidia card with PhysX, the objects ingame will be unmovable?

thats stupid, if you dont have X memory card then certain objects will be unmoveable, i think that is just a nasty rumor as physic engines should have the ability and not have to rely on 3rd party sources to accomplish such a thing

I thought PhysX made those things "better", not giving you the ability...agasdfdsgah

Some of the gameplay requires moving objects, so I doubt that'll be the case.

Physx just added some little glamor things. Nothing gameplay changing.
