I'm surprised Lamby is pimping a multiplatform game, especially since that is the 360 version as well. ;)

Collector's Edition looks like it could be worth getting.

OK people, anyone still pumped for this? The demo is up now and while I've only played it for a little while, it was enough for me to preorder the collector's edition:

Seems a bit toned down from the big picture posted above (especially the book) but still looks good. My preorder is with EB where you get an extra piece of DLC - exclusive armour.

Unbiased gamers should note that the PS3 version lets you play as The Joker.

It's out on 03/09/09

Note that Joker is playable in the challenge maps, not the single player story.

Will still be fucking cool though. I hope it's only a timed exclusive, 'cos I don't have a PS3 :(

91 at Metacritic. Finally a Batman game (since the 16 bit era) that lives up to the hype!

Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the greatest superhero game of all time. Actually, welcome to one of the greatest action games of all time.
That's the first two lines of the Ausgamers review here.
Beyond its stunning visuals, brilliant soundtrack and audio, compelling gameplay, progression of power, exploration, tight scripting and line delivery, combat and boss battles - Batman: Arkham Asylum tells a Batman tale not for the feint-hearted. This is no Activision or EA family-friendly spin on a popular superhero license; this is the twisted world of Gotham City and its myriad of psychotic offspring. It's the tale of unreasonable anarchist action; of chaos on a grand scale, and one man's pent-up desire and need to control it all - this is Batman as you've always wanted to see him, and if you're not a die-hard fan, know that at the very least it's the way he should be seen.
WHAT WE LIKED wrote:Incredible pacing
Free-flow combat system is a game-changer
Looks stunning
Incredible story, scripting and voice-acting
Level-design is awesome
Compelling exploration and collectibles
The definitive superhero gaming experience
WHAT WE DIDN'T LIKE wrote:Sprite-based leaves and shrubs cheapen the rest of visuals (it's the only thing I can think of)
9.5/10
Currently playing: Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition (PC), Far Cry 6 (PC), FIFA 21 (Series X), TimeSplitters 2 (Series X BC)

Tried the demo for this today... blew me away with how polished it was and how great it looked (the joker looked freaking amazing!) - those cinemas are real-time right?

Nice to see a Superhero game done right for a change :)

Already ordered my copy, will be here next week. Loved the demo. The last decent Batman game I played was Batman Returns on the SNES, can't wait for this one!
