I'll tell you what. It's bloody good. I'll write some more later, but this is up there with CoD for the single player experience....go get it.

I played the demo on my 360 & thought it was really good, been waiting for the price to drop a little before getting it, no point in me getting it on pc as I don't think it'd run.

Aye.  I played through this on my PS3 and finished it last week.

I don't usually buy superhero tie-ins as they're invariably poor games.  However, a colleague ranted and raved about this enough for me to check out a few reviews, and then splurge some cash on it.  I'm glad I did!

The graphics, voice acting, and music are incredibly polished, but it's the gameplay itself that shines - just the right mix of combat and puzzles.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.  9/10 :thumbsup2:

The game is awesome but the "Games for windows live" is :ranting2::ranting2:
I have been trying to get it to work for the past 4hours now. Game works well but I just can't connect to live or download the patch. Anyone else having problems with it ?

Completed this on the PS3 last week, best game of the year so far I reckon.

Awesome stuff.

Nope, I created an offline account and then blocked it on my firewall. Stupid system if you ask me. I'm not patched and haven't seen any issues.

Thats the only way it works for me. And if you have the online account, you can't save or track achievements if you disconnect while playing. Windows Live is so insanely annoying thing, why did they have to ruin a perfect game with it.

Over the shoulder 3rd for the most part, but you don't really notice after a while. This is honestly the best game I've played in ages. If you're at the LAN, you can play with mine when you're there...:blink:

I saw lots of people playing this at the lan and i thought i would give this a try even though i ddn't like the demo.

Its not what i'd usually play but excellent plot and highly immersive. Favourite parts must have been when you have to do the 2.5 aspect ratio scarecrow bits.

If you want a challenge this is the game for you. Bane, joker, jokers thugs near the end and ivy certainly had my heart racing just to complete it on normal. Its one of the hardest games i have ever played for me at least and i would recommend it :)
