One note: We'd prefer it if you're working from the actual game, rather than the demo, if only because we're sure everyone's already played that joint to death. Now: Fire away!

The counter system is pretty great and actually makes you feel like the Batman. Very smooth and effortless.

Is it really? I was very disappointed in the demo and couldn't/can't then work out why everyone was raving about the game proper.
From the demo, I liked the detective mode but the fighting bit just reminded me of Enter The Matrix: you hammer the attack button(s) when near enemies and your character launches into kick-ass combos that look pretty but took you no skill to execute.
Like I said though, I'm open to being proved wrong on this one.

It's probably the best Batman-'em-up since the first one on the NES.

I've said it before and I'll say it again SNES Batman Returns says hello.

the "Batman-'em-up" was a reference to the NES game, when you were fighting unarmed the spot in the HUD that shows your weapon just read "BATMAN". But yes Batman Returns on SNES was quite decent.

Did I miss something when I played Streets Of Rage, or is Batman really in it?

Streets of rage and Batman for SNES are both sleeping with the same mistress...side scrolling beat em up games with almost identical gameplay... Who also said good morning.

What happened to the Dark Knight movie game?

I think they cancelled that, and Arjham Asylum resulted from that.

Game of the year. Can kick the shit out of Sackboy without a sweat.

okay first off, no. second, LBP came out in 2008 so batman probably would be GOTY if not for Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2 (which probably wil not be best selling game ever), and Assasin's creed 2. but at this point, it's all speculation. thrid, LBP is better than Arkham asylum. Well LBP is better than the demo because that's all i've played of AA.

You've only played the demo and you're trying to tell us what's better than what? The demo is free. Shell out for a fantastic game and STFU.

Fantastic game with the proper mix of action, stealth, item discovery, and even some mild riddle solving to boot. This game could probably excel even if it wasn't a licensed Batman title, but the mere fact that it IS Batman makes it all the sweeter.

Unfortunately I haven't bought it yet and don't plan to nutil I get all the other games on my "Buy" list.
Modern warfare 2
Fallout 3
Tekken 6
Blazblue
DJ hero
Valkyria chronicles
Bayonetta
Katamari forever
Dragonball raging blast
Gran turismo 5
So, as you can see, I have a while to go.

Yeah, I'm sure that this is a lot better than a a lot of the games on my list, but I played the demo and just didn't see the appeal.
P.S The Dragonball game is mainly for nostalgia factor...

I am thoroughly enjoying it so far, but I have to say I do find the controls to be a little off.
I am never quite sure where I can and cannot grapple up to, and the general movement doesn't feel quite tight enough, overall though these are minor gripes.
Graphics are spectacular, especially when you're outside going between the different buildings on the island.
The combat and stealth aspects are fantastic, really make you feel like you are Batman. They make you feel powerful, but not overly powerful, guns are still a danger, but if you play it smart you don't have to worry about it.
