After checking out the demo from the Playstation Store, I was amazed how well done this game really is, courtesy of Rocksteady and Eidos.

Along with the writing skills of Paul Dini and with the reprisal of many familiar voice actors (like Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill), this is perhaps the first Batman game that actually looks like a solid hit.

As soon as this game comes out, I'll check it out.

See ya!

The demo was awesome, so I'll be looking forward to this.

Too bad you only get to play as the Joker on the PS3 version. One of the few times when I actually wanted a PS3...

Where did you hear that? Sounds weird that he wouldn't be playable on 360 or PC.

I looked it up. the last post one the page has me hopeful.

Not me, since I don't use Xbox Live...

It looks cool to play. I'll just wait to rent it or let my sis buy so I can play. I don't play much Xbox 360 games but I want to play this game

All you need is an internet connection to get DLC.

Oh I know that already, it was the whole thing about having to pay for Xbox Live that was the reason why I never got it.

________________

As far as I know you only play as the Joker in that special challenge mode, not in the actual game, so it doesn't seem like that big a deal.

Already ordered my limited edition copy (for saving) as well as a normal edition for playing.

PC user btw and I don;t really care about the joker skin that is ps3 exclusive. Knowing pc gamers we'll probably have a joker mod days after the release.

What I'm saying is DLC is available under a silver account, not the gold account that you pay for.


But it isn't. He gets some of his own maps and moves.

On the verge of pre-ordering but still waiting for more reviews from sites I respect. I would have jumped on it already if Amazon didn't charge NY'ers tax. The $5 off code, the already low price, a 10% off ECA code and the Amazon eCertificates would have made it a great deal (for someone who almost never preorders).

God, I forgot about this for a while.

But that's awesome that the silver account is free, now all I need to do is get another ethernet cable.

Still, you can get the demo for free

I just downloaded the demo today and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect anything, but the way it played was quite entertaining.
I will wait for a few reviews before deciding wether to buy it or not though, I'm still a bit sceptic.
But I must say it is fun to see so many different Batman villains in one game (I believe I saw Bane, Poison Ivy and Killer Croc already (besides the obvious Joker and Harly Quin))
