I have to say I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised how great the demo was. The graphics are really good; for the most part I was able to play with everything on high with only notable slowdown in one or two areas. The voice acting and combat system is pretty stellar. I think they really got the Batman feel which makes me very happy considering the last Batman game, Batman Begins, was pretty mediocre. The only thing I'm worried about is the length as the demo is pretty short. Other than that it looks like a definite buy for me.

I don't think I can play the demo yet ( silver xbl) but from the look of the previews and reactions, it seems like it can be one of the best games this year.

I wasn't very impressed myself, but then I didn't have high expectations either. The camera was bad, it felt a bit too simple and the combat was dull. Also I hate pre-rendered cutscenes in UT3 engine games! Oh well, I shouldn't judge the real game because of a demo. I could mention numerous decent games who suffered from bad demos. Dead Space being one of them.

I might pick it up sometime when it goes down in price.
