Pretty much my feelings exactly. I had no intent to even rent the game honestly, and now I will probably end up buying it after the demo.

Try the new demo. Words can't even adequately express how much better it is.

It was average. I don't know what it is these days with games and easier difficulties. I see so many reviewers bashing games for being too hard but seriously easy games are a much bigger waste of money. The game had a few fun elements but I was so dissapointed that grappling was automatic. Investigation mode is useless and combat is easy. Its fun but I don't think it'll do as well as everyone's making out to be....just like every other Batman game. So that should be no surprise to anyone really.

Could not comprehend playing that game on PC, will definitely be getting it for my ps3 that's for damn sure after playing the demo. So glad they brought back Mark Hamil as the Joker, nobody elsecan match that voice and laugh.

I thought the demo was great, but I didn't like Batman's voice. I have no clue why I just didn't like his voice.

I'm just glad it wasn't the same voice from the Dark Knight, Christian Bale really got on my nerves in that movie.

Umm....game performed and handled flawlessly on PC. Left click attack, right click for stealth attacks, WASD movement, left control for crouch, x for detective, f to grapple. Everything worked flawlessly really. And most of it is standard PC game controls.

Huh I guess my statement was too complicated for you to understand? I never said I couldn't play it, would just feel so damn detached would feel awkward.

It was pretty cool, and much better than i thought it would be. Can it be that we actually have a decent batman game other than the nes one? All signs point to yes as of right now.

I just played the demo, it was repetitive, easy, and boring. I couldn't imagine this getting above a 8.5 on GS's review, I don't get what all the hype is about...

Well I saw a few trailers and vids, was thinking it was just another game to ignore. But...I played the demo and I wanted more, I thought it was really good.

It's def. on my radar now. The controls felt great and the atmosphere would work for any Batman buff. Possibly after I finally buy inFamous and Street Fighter.

I enjoyed the demo, but I'm afraid it's gonna be too easy!

Maybe a second-hand buy for me...

Somehow it plays boring IMO, the fights are lame, the combination R2 and triangle to KO someone on the ground is stupid and the detective mode is boring as well :S Don't think I'm going to buy this one :S

Wouldn't the demo have been set to the easiest possible difficulty? And wasn't it the very beginning, basically a tutorial? I don't think the final product will be all that easy in the end...

I dug the demo a lot! I thought the free flow fighting was sweet (almost felt like the dark night). I will be picking this game up but prolly won't get a chance to play since I am on my last year at the university (damn you school!!!).

The demo was a bit short imo, but what was there was good. I'll be getting it on release day. Probably for PS3 as that has the Joker challenge levels. But the 360 version looks a little better on my TV so I'm not 100% sure yet.

yes and yes, not sure why others dont grasp this. when the difficulty is on hard you don't see the !!! above the enemys heads for one.

I been eyeing this game for awhile, waited to play the demo to see if I'd pre-order it, and pre-order it I did. Due to my internet quota I had to get the demo on PC, so I played it on my mac with the 360 controller, wish the console versions had this physx stuff.
