    Yeah, it looks good.

    I may have to go rent it.

    It looks cool, but I'm not so sure it's a "own-er".

    I can honestly say it is one of the best games I have ever played.

    I had no idea I was going to enjoy it as much as I do

    I don't know man, It's pretty fucking great.
    Last night I played it for like five hours or so, and was only like 4% done with it...

    If you are a video game fan, you'll love it.
    If you are a Batman fan (comics, cartoons, movies) you will love it even more.

    Exactly. On top of that, the further along you get (more hours you put into it), the better the game gets. Reason being, the further along you get = the more gadgets you get :D

    Yeah- I've been playing most of today too. I'm such a geek.
    But I love how it has some of the more hardcore villains in it like Bane, Zassez, Killer Croc and (of course) Joker. And left out some of the sillier ones like the Penguin (so far anyway).

    BTW- anyone else find Clayface yet? :D

    So I went to Blockbuster to rent it and they were sold out. Doh!

    So I went to Target and bought the damn thing. :lol:

    About 45 mins in and I gotta say...this game kicks ass!


    I'm glad it's a long game too. I hate it when you get a game, and beat it in 3 hours.

    Well, I know what my night is going to consist of! :lol::D

    You shoulda known it was a buyer by the amount I've been on the PS3 lately ;)

    Was 38 bucks here in Canada for 3 days!

    Apparently the game set a world record for 'Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever'. So I'm guessing it's good and that I should go out and buy it.

    Good story, good graphics, amazing sound (5.1 a must!), good controls, great voice overs...

    All around a really good game.




    Spoiler below!!! Stop here if you don't want to see it...



























    The whole morgue scene with the Scarecrow was bad-ass!!! Wow! I don't do drugs anymore, but if I was stoned and that came up, it would have freaked me out!!! :lol:

    Do games still come out without surround sound?

    I don't believe so.

    I just think the sound/audio in this game is superb.

    The voice acting in this game is awesome. Mark Hamill does a great job as The Joker

    played the demo and thought it was great....
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    He was the Joker from the animated series. I think Batman is the same voice too. Amazing

    First of all, I had no idea that was Mark Hamill! Wow, that's impressive.

    Secondly, while playing I thought Batman, the Joker and Harley were all the same voices as the animated series...
    Sure sounds like it!

    Such a great game. It took a while before I got good at killing armed guys, apparently the proper way isn't to run into a crowd of them.

    downloaded the demo lastnight for 360 and i really enjoyed it. i loved detective mode and all the silent attacks.

    might be stopping by best buy on the way home from work today!

    I bought it from Best Buy on Friday, and they had a promotion where if you bought the game, you got a $10 gift card too.

    My friend was telling me on saturday how great this game is. I almost bought it, but put it back. Think i'll be hitting Best Buy on the way home tonight.
    Peace, Love.

    Yeah, I remember being really excited when I saw the ads for this, and then they pushed the release date back like twice and I was starting to get pissed. But it was well worth the wait. IMO- totally worth $60.

    Yeah, I still haven't played anything other than the single player "story" game.

    Can't wait to try out some challenges, and the "Play as the Joker" Challenge...that should be interesting!

    I haven't tried anything but campaign either, I will finish that first.
    My brother said the Joker challenges are pretty hard, but funny.
