I've steadily become less and less excited about this game until it reached a point where to me, it now looks like a pretty generic affair on par with Wolverine, Bionic Commando and The Watchmen TEIN. Linear 3rd person beat 'em up.
In fact that whole genre as a whole feels pretty stale to me.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised that there will be a PC demo and that gives me a bit of hope for the game.
if the game is not necessary to have to aim well, im getting the ps3 version,
its nice to get the demo.

What dub said reminds me of the descending spiral of Damnation... and it was true. I have hopes for this game though.
I wonder if M$ is going to lock this demo for non-gold members ... (seems standard these days)
No way they will make it free. Not in 2 months or something.
The major issues I had with the game were that it was extreemly linear. Some of the invisible walls are just ridiculous.
Secondly the above mentioned games got repetitive real quick for me. After a while it just felt like the same old quick-time routines over and over again.
Wolverine wasn't bad and had some good bits, but for me it was a 'play once-forget forever' game.
For Batman I've heard a bunch of comments off people who played a demo and what I seemed to hear a lot is "single button - button mashing" and "the stealth element isn't really what it was made out to be".
Also from the videos of those demos it looks pretty similar to Watchmen and even more so; Wolverine. (The batvision thingy mode looks fairly similar to Wolverine's Feral sense)
[had to seeearch for this one, but for example check the impressions at the start of this IW episode]
Still there's no real way of knowing what the game will be like until we play it, but it doesn't look promising from where I'm standing.
On the other hand, there will be a demo :tup: so I'll make up my mind based on that. Got to be glad to have that option nowadays...

ooh ... replacing the S with the $ ... clever
MS is just desperate because they know that gold doesn't add any value except through artificial barriers like 'early access' to demos and 'discounts' to some of their DLC.
I just wonder when they're going to start charging pc-users for Live! again ...
It's more like 2 weeks
