Harley Quinn gives me disturbing thoughts.

Ah, good, I'm not the only one....

It's out?? I thought it came out tomorrow! TO THE XBOX!

Um, it does come out tomorrow.
For the Xbox.
PS3 version is out today.
*sniffle*
Excuse me as I go cry in the corner.

I figured that out shortly after making that post. These guys seem to favor the PS3...

iv played it at local gamestops (i don't know how they got it) a few days ago and i gotta say.....

1. Visuals are amazing

2. Combat controls are great

3. Its f***king Batman people!

 

[WorldCritic]

Yeah, it was fun and I'm looking forward to the full game, Mark Hamil's Joker returns!

I just finished playing it, looks interesting & was rather enjoyable, I want the game, but probably won't get it for lack of funds.

If you pre-order from amazon, and use the code "5OFFARKM" you get Batman Arkham Asylum for only $47.99!!! That's what I'm doing.
Demo Review
Pros:

The combat is really fluid

Being able to play the game as a stealthy Batman or an "up-front" Batman

The voice acting is wonderful. (I can't tell who does the Joker's voice, but he's done it before. And the Warden's voice sounds familiar also. I know he played as the narrator on Fat Princess.)

Making guards terrified is very very satisfiying

Cons:

Not much that I disliked. The only thing I can think of is that when you go for a finishing blow during melee, it looks like your punches miss, and it would be more cool if there was a little blood. Since it uses the Unreal engine, bodies fall over very limply, and unrealistically.

Oh, and if you didn't know, Eidos is developing the game and they made: Tomb Raider, Hitman, Commandos, Deus Ex, Legacy of Kain, Thief, Timesplitters, and Fear Effect.

Hey Yahtzee might actually like it because Eidos made the Thief series.

Eidos is publishing it, not developing it. Rocksteady Studios is the developer.

I favor the PS3, because I've had so many problems with my 360s, that I decided to give up on them for the most part.

Good for you? Thanks for sharing?

One of the few games i'm actually saving my money for. Cant wait.

This is just one part of a brutal August for me. This, Madden, Wolfenstein, and getting a new computer built.

This game kind of strikes me as almost like Splinter Cell, except with Batman. Not that Sam Fisher couldn't be Batman, because he totally could. The amount of, for lack of a better term, authenticity going into this game (the cast for the voice acting, the writers, etc) really gets your attention and makes you expect the best from this title.

Isn't there a collector's edition that has an actual Batarang?

I just finished playing the demo for Arkham Asylum and I must say.... I am looking forward to the full game. Anyone else download it? Any thoughts about the game?

note: The demo came out today for PSN, tomorrow for XBL.

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for this. I didn't think the demo was coming out for a while. Going to download as soon as possible! I'm not going to check until later so I'm going to assume it's out on the Australian PSN Store as well.

EDIT: IT'S ON THE AUSSIE STORE YES!

Your excused.

is there a demo for the PC version?

 

[XJ-0461]

I'll be back in a minute, I need to go to my PS3.

EDIT: I've just finished playing the demo, and boy, is it fun. The stealth system works very well and the combat flows very naturally.

 

[Wordsandstuffwillbenexttothis8465]

NOOOOOOOOO!!! I have no XBox for a few more days!!! This is so uncool.

 

[Chipperz]

Downloading now, cheers! I'll be sure to come back and say what I think, knowing how much you all care

 

[manicfoot]

I really enjoyed it. I hope the combat gets more complex as the game progresses. The atmosphere in the game is phenomenal. Actually feels like you're in the 90's cartoon. Its very authentic.

is there a demo for the PC version?

It seems the PC version has been delayed for some reason.
