New Topic

Why is everyone ignoring Batman? I've seen many people say that they think it's good, and will pick it up at a cheaper price. From all the scores it has been getting I'd expect at least some hype. Guess we'll see what happens when Gamespot gives it a 9.

Original Topic: Batman Arkham Asylum gets a 9.3 at IGN.

It may be short, but wow this game is worth every penny for the experience.

I'm not defending its length, but I will say that I prefer 9 hours of a top notch game experience vs 15-20 of a good experience.

Yeah now imagine how much better that would be if you got it half price. :o By your sig I can tell you have no problem spending a ton on games. That's cool but it's not for everyone. I'll wait, not because I don't have the money, but because I like to allocate it better

How unfortunate! Another game that ps3 and 360 users can't enjoy (according to some Wii folks) because it is not an exclusive. :P

No, don't get me wrong, I actually don't spend much on games despite my sig. My point was that even though the game is short, you'll have more than enough fun with the game experience that I think the price would be worth it. I'm thinking of it as a quality vs quantity standpoint.

Batman AA is doing tremendous.

IGN gave it a 9+, GT gave it a 9, and Game Informer gave it a 9.5.

It should be renamed :

BATMAN AAA! lol.

Anyways, the PS3 version is the one to get if you got a choice, just for the Joker Extra missions, etc, but it's a great game regardless. :)

PS3 Version looks best too, but I am not big on Pixel Counting, still Joker + Graphics = can't miss!

"Batman: AA isn't hyped at all"

Actually that's false, Batman: AA is very hyped in SW, it even has commercials on the TV and Internet.

It's based off a comic book, and you know how that is. Though I like the Batman series(cartoon), even if he had only a few good games.

Yeah, it has a 91% at metacritic, isn't that the highest for a comic book game?

Exactly. I want to get the game but I would be getting it on PC where price drops are much more frequent. When the game actually comes out that is =o 25-30 dollars and I might get it, rather pay 20 though.

Ill pick it up when it goes into the discount bins, the demo really did nothing for me, yea it held my attention but I have a LOT more games that i need to be getting this fall, including a PS3 slim and some updated hardware and a new graphics card for my gaming PC. I just dont have the money for a game that only slightly appeals to me.

I'll be renting this for sure and if I think its a keeper I'll buy, was really surprised/impressed by the demo, wasn't expecting much but its the first demo in a while that kept me wanting for more.

If you live near Canada or can get one shipped, it's only $40CDN (or close to $30US) here due to a Walmart/Best Buy flyer screw up.

Yup. Best Buy leaked a flyer with the price mistakenly at $39.99. Walmart jumped on it and issued XBL ads advertising a $38.83 launch price. Best Buy retracted theirs but it was too late - now EB Games, Future Shop, Best Buy, and Walmart are all selling the game for $38.83 for the first three days. It's a hilarious screw up, and no doubt will cripple the game's resale value. Expect to see a LOT of copies on Ebay from Canadians trying to make money off people from the US.

It's Batman. Everyone has seen the movies, read the comic, or played the games. Batman fights bad guys, and Joker is the villain. I'm sure it's a good game, but there's not much left to discuss.

from what I played of the demo, there is. I just personally am not a huge fan of it, I guess batman (despite hardly getting games) seems a bit played out to me by now, its been around so long...

May be short, but id rather buy this than Halo 3, or Resistance. A.K.A multiplayer games. Maybe its just me cause I don't play games more than an 7 hours weekly, but id rather get immeresed in an experience than be online with a bunch of a-holes. Ive played uncharted more than I have played COD4. Metal Gear Solid 4 singleplayer, more than ive ever played any online game. For me id rather buy a Batman, Uncharted, Ratchet and clank, lost odeyssey than a Cod4, Halo 3, or Resistance 2. But again, I can un derstand the so called "true gamer" which plays like 8 hours a day, being fet up with that.
