They forgot to mention Dini is also the guy behind Batman: The Animated Series. Could be cool. Too early to praise it though. I don't see any description of gameplay details. Just hints of a "Bat Theft Auto" (fucking retarded phrase).the Joker will be the main villain in the story of a prison break gone awry, written by Paul Dini (Justice League, Batman Beyond).

I tried out the PC demo tonight (it's short -- about 20 min of gameplay). It's definitely a lot better than I thought it would be, but I have qualms with the combat system, or just the general approach the game takes of approaching enemies. It seems that it's designed so that you have to take one or two different approaches to each scenario, meaning there are many "wrong" ways to proceed. This flustered me, since I'm the kind of guy that likes to improvise.ori said:So I downloaded the demo for Batman Arkham Asylum when they released it a few days ago and I must say I'm impressed!!!

I'm so pissed at you console owners... the PC version on Steam doesn't come out until "September 2009"ori said:Well of course! I could've told you that. That demo is really something. Glad I bothered to DL it when it was released because I thought this game was crap at first glance. I can't wait for tomorrow. I preordered the collector's edition so not only will I get a great game but I'll get a real life batarang too!

16 hours for a single-player game is short?ori said:The only thing I possibly will not like is I heard the gameplay time is short. Something around 16 hours of actual story missions.
I've been seeing that phrase thrown around a lot. I'm not sure it carries much weight by itself. What's the second-best Batman game then? What high-quality game did this awesome one dethrone? Lego Batman?Breed1Ghost said:Best Batman game ever.

Again, not questioning the quality of Arkham Asylum. It looks great. But that phrase that's being used constantly in reviews "Best Batman Game" holds utterly no water with me. They've all been shit. So this is king shit, and happens to be great.
Man, this game sounds like it sucks!ori said:This batarang sucks....it supposed to have this "weathered" look to it. So it's all scratched up and stuff. I was hoping for a clean one.
