Just beat it last night. It did have some picky flaws, but all in all this game is pure awesome. Eidos deserves a HUGE award for this.

Thoughts on how u feel about the title?

It looks like a lot of fun but I hear it's quite short with no multiplayer.

Fantastic game. One of my top 3 of 2009 without a doubt, and here's hoping that Rock Steady get to work on not just the Batman sequel, but the Urban Chaos sequel 8)

10-12 hours for an action game doesn't seem short to me. more if you do all the challenges.

The "good" games I've played this year only consist of MLB 09, Wipeout HD, Killzone 2, and SFIV. I didn't get a chance to take BlazBlue or RE5 for a spin yet. I would say that Batman trumps them all so far. My most anticipated titles are not out yet, however. I'm still waiting on Uncharted 2, GT5, and Ratchet & Clank Future ACIT.

It'll arrive tomorrow. And guess what, there will be lightning and thunder that day, so the whole world will be in the mood :P
It just needs to deliver.
I was picking between pc and ps3 version. PC was 50 ps3 was 65. In the end i picked the ps3 version (comes with some extra batman outfit (?) and joker challenges) mostly because i prefer ps3 controller for 3rd person action games.

Eh, Haven't played it yet, haven't played demo, I hate em, I wanna pick this game up though. But it's gotta be a great game to top InFAMOUS.

Also the whole, should I get it for PS3 or 360 battle in my head. I use ps3 for ps3 exclusives but it does have extra features. I'm not gonna lie though I like achievements more then trophys.

You're a 360 only owner right TC, maybe that's why you feel that way? I think KZ2 is the best this year so far.

I say its one of the greatest. I still like infamous a bit more. I just think people are so happy that there is finally a good batman game that they are going nuts and calling it the best thing ever.

Demo isn't like the game.

Demo is like an hour long, how is an hour of gameplay not showing what the game game is actually like.

The demo took out sections from the full game, plus it lacks other gameplay features in the full game like upgrades and exploring. Trust me, it's a great game and the demo doesn't do justice for it.

I don't agree with that. The camera is just too much. My GOTY so far is LOTR Conquest which is essentially a glorified last-gen conversion.

I haven't played it but it looks great even if a bit short but with titles coming out like Uncharted 2,New Super Mario Bros Wii and possibly Gran Turismo 5 I doubt it will be the GOTY.

LOTR:C is also one my favs this year. Only because I am a complete nut for the franchise and the lore.

It's easily my favorite game of this generation. The story is engaging. The graphics are great. The voice acting is some of the best I've heard in any game. The hard difficulty is challenging but always fair. There are hundreds of easter eggs in the game. The trophies take time to get, but there is absolutely no grinding. The gameplay has a great deal of variety and all of it is solid. The camera is the closest I've ever seen to flawless in a 3D game. The leader board challenges give the game an old arcade type aspect. In conclusion, this is one of the best games I've ever played in 20 years.

It wasn't very good, I got kind of excited the first time I saw gameplay footage of batman swinging around from gargoyle to gargoyle. But as a saw more of the game, I started to lose interest. And when I finally got to play the game I was disappointed.

[QUOTE="Next-Gen-Tec"]RE5 is the best so far.SAGE_OF_FIRE
No no nooooooooooooo, it was crud................ why capcom why :cry:

I wouldn't say it was that bad, it was an awesome co-op experience and if all action games were like that it would be a better industry, but that was the problem.

I would have liked a level where in one of the facilities you have one guy carrying the torch and the other doing the shooting looking for a generator on one of the lower floors while doing a more traditional style puzzle (there is a door that you must pass but you have to explore the facility and find keys, files etc). There should have been traditional zombies in these facilities (why not? Lickers can pass the virus on last I heard). It would have beaten the areas where enemies had assault rifles, that was just lame.

There were also too many lickers... those enemies are supposed to be few and far between because of how agile and fast they are, plus hard to kill. Instead there were just hordes of braindead lickers that seem to be half docile when they get close enough.
