It's interesting that others have also not got on with the demo. I d/l the demo over the weekend and it convinced me not to bother with the game itself, as I was utterly underwhelmed. If the full game really is that much better, I might pick it up for £15 or so as and when it becomes available at that price.

the game seemed a bit samey until you start getting the gadgets then it gets much better , you really have to think about who to take out first etc and the story is really engaging too

it is but a lot more than that....
, and oh the irony , i bought a 360 so i could play it as i didnt want to wait til the pc version was released ( 18th sept ) then last sat my pc graphics afcrd blew. Ive just taken delivery of a gtx260 and guess what? the game comes free with the card
..... doh!!
thats what I get for being impatient.....

Fair enough, I played the demo and thought it shite as well, don't know if I can afford it atm. I could probs get a better game cheaper.
Brilliant game, I'd say the best game on the 360, yes even better than Fallout and GTA4.
Brilliant graphics, engrossing storyline. The game manages to capture the whole comic book feeling perfectly. The difficulty curve is also done to perfection - challenging enough to be taxing, but never truly frustrating.
I can't think of any games where the character is so enjoyable to control.
Defintley in the short but sweet catergory, it took me only a cople of days to complete the story mode and find all the riddlers puzzles (but I liked it so much I instantly went through ther game on hard mode where I'm a little stuck at ther final fight), but you can complete the game on medium without really getting to grips with all the things that batman can do in a fight or all his predator moves which makes the challenge mode well worth playing.
I really hope the release some DL content soon, more predator challenges would be nice as I've got the 3 medals in all of them, but more story mode would be even better.

Looking forward to playing this through Christmas (will be a nice break from MW2), played and loved the demo a month or so ago so reckon I'll like this.

I fully expect you to be weird about this, just like you are with Resident Evil 4.

I doubt it, I played the demo and loved it! Resi has uniformly been crap since inception.

what, fucking what?
You don't even rate the first two Resident Evils?
So you don't like the Resident Evils and Final Fantasy VII, what other classics don't you rate, Wipeout, Metal Gear Solid?

I loved all the Final Fantasies on the SNES, haven't played Wipeout since the PS1 days but loved it then. MTG is great although the cut scenes can go on a bit...

Oh and generally while I don't tend to like 3rd person games I quite liked Assassins Creed 2 also.

This game is the nuts.
Defintely,probably the game that I've got the most enjoyment out of on the 360, can't wait for a sequel.

Just got around to getting this. About 2 hours in and loving it! Basically Metal Gear solid with Batman - what's not to love. Loved the first encounter with the Scarecrow. I can see why it got game of the year. I'm very much looking forward to Arkham city now.

Its a difficult part, it requires a bit of stamina to keep roll/jumping from left to right dodging while waiting for it to open up.
