I figured with the game coming out in a few weeks, and the demo being released recently some of you are probably going to start talking about the game. So I figured I'd create an official thread now for it. So feel free to talk about anything about the game.

To tell you the truth I was really skeptical when I first heard about this game. Usually because these types of games based on comic book never really turn out very good. But after playing the demo last night, I'm extremely impressed with the game. It's a definite buy IMO. I actually think it's going to be the best comic book based game ever! Even better than Neversoft's Spiderman game.

For those that don't know the game is running on the Unreal engine, and let me say the graphics for 1 look pretty incredible. There's a trophy area that has figurines of characters from the Batman Universe that can be unlocked in the full game, the demo has Batman, and Killer Croc already unlocked. What really does the game for me though, is the game mechanics, and how fluid the animation is. I'm actually blown away by how fluid the animations are for a comic book based game. If you take down an enemy just as another 1 of attacking, a quick button press causes batman to go into another takedown right from the downed position, and it just looks so fluid and natural the way he does it.

There's also stealth mechanics, where to can slink around a room by the ceiling and pick off enemies 1 by 1. It's really cool how batman just drops right down grabs the enemy, and pulls him back up. As the number of enemies in the room start to dwindle down the remain enemies start to get even more scared. You can bring up detective mode, which acts like x-ray vision, to point out hidden spots, interactive object, and give you enemy statuses, and their state of mind. They'll start to act more eradicable, and blindly shooting at object, and the ceiling because their so spooked.

I think the game does an impressive job of capturing Batman, and the controls seem really intuitive. Unlike a lot of games. The game seems to easy to control than games like Splinter Cell, and Assassin's Creed.
