GameXplain Writes: "Batman: Arkham Asylum surprised just about everyone in the gaming industry. Deciding to eschew traditional licensing paradigms, the team at Rocksteady based the game on the comics rather than any current movie. In doing this Rocksteady Studios successfully replicated what made Batman and brought gamers along for an incredibly fun ride. It's not like there was no indication that this would happen, but gamers everywhere were still caught off guard by the quality of this title. Arkham Asylum had shown potential in all of its preview builds, but no one was willing to believe that it could actually back up its promises. When it did, the game ended up being one of the bestsellers of 2009 and appeared on countless Game of the Year lists. Flash forward to the present and the same kind of pre-release buzz is being leveraged around Transformers: War for Cybertron."

whhaat? the demo was just bad. so many head scratching moments with the controls, with the feel of the weapons, with the damage balance...i just felt terrible after playing a few rounds of it.
and I'll have to check it out, but this game is sounding better and better.
It's ok. Not as good as Batman.
I haven't played a Comic Book game as good as Batman, ever. Last great one I remember, was Spiderman 2 on Xbox/PS2. Funny how Batman was referred to as 2009's Bioshock....
I am going to have to take a look into this game. Demo at least
