Google it, watch the trailer now.

I nearly had a seizure, it looks freekin awesome !

Great trailer. Reminds me a lot of Chronicles of Riddick - Escape from Butcher Bay. Hope it is half as good as that!

BUMP for the severe lack of appreciation !

Very cool trailer

Would prefer to play the Joker though

It's really hard to get excited over any games based on movies, comics, etc. Too many bad experiences

.

Will keep an eye on this one though, the trailer was actually pretty good.

Looks great. First of heard of it to be honest

lunarwolf · 9 Mar 2009 at 12:16

meh. not really as cool as the dark knight. from the little i see the fighting gameplay looks average to weak

as one said earlier, hard to get excited over movie games

Trailer looks good, also agree would be cool to play as the Joker to

+1 though on occasion it can work out quite well.

I don't like the look of the joker tbh, just doesn't seem right for some reason.

FrenchTart · 9 Mar 2009 at 16:26

Style is quite cool, the game itself looks to be a console bore-fest though.

marlos · 9 Mar 2009 at 18:14

Looks ****

Not looked at anything to do with the game but this made me chuckle - email header from Game:

Holy GAME Exclusive Preorder Bonus, Batman!

It comes with a 14" Batarang ... could be more fun than the game if it works

There seems to be a bit of a fuss about this game regarding magazines and reviews. According to some people the producers approached the magazines to say to them

"If you give our game above 90% then you can print the review earlier..oh and you need to put our game on the front page....If you don't..well then you can't print anything as we have a review embargo"

I'll try dig up where I read this to offer more information.

Will opt for a demo first, if available, before I make a decision though it does have my interest. If a game like this was done in a similar style to Max Payne then it could be very good and just up my street.

The same thing supposedly happened with Tomb Raider: Underworld. Magazine writers weren't allowed to publish scores below 90% until the weekend was over. Made me happy to see it crash and burn to be honest.

On topic: I'm undecided whether to pre-purchase this. I really like the sound of that batarang, but I'd pretty pretty ****ed if the game turned out bad.

Not long til this game comes out. Still can't decide whether to pre-order or not!
