Graphics: 9/10
Sound: 9/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Replay Value: ???/10 (it's a demo, but i can't stop playing it :D)
Overall: 9/10 (cause ya can't ever give a 10/10 lol)

Holy Awesome Batman!!! Wow. This game looks really cool. You play Batman of course and your goal, of course, is to beat up people and stop the Joker, of course! I have to say I think this will be a really fun single player experience, if you've ever wanted to be Batman and use all his fancy fighting moves download this demo. The fighting system is awesome, you can leap from enemy to enemy counter attack and really pummel your enemies. You can also throw the classic batarangs and use Batman's grapple hook to sneak around. I really like the silent takedown attacks, sneak up and choke 'em out, leave the bodies lying around to induce fear. This one is definitely worth a look folks, especially if you are a Bat-fan.

Not only that but they got Kevin Conroy to voice the Bat and Mark Hamill (yes that Mark Hamill) to voice the joker! These two were born to voice these roles and it really adds to the final production value. I believe the game is directed by one of the guys from Batman: The Animated Series, which was the best Bat-toon EVER! The music is very "Dark Knight" inspired, very gothic as Batman should be.

As far as hardware specs go this game uses (what else) the Unreal 3 engine, so it looks really good, it seems Epic is the only game company who can't use their own engine effectively lol. This game runs smooth as on my PC, so anyone with a newer PC shouldn't have any trouble. It does use Nvidia physx as well.

Stay tuned kiddies, I'll be grabbing the full version of this game and will update my review... Same Bat-Forum, same Bat-Thread!!!

God, the cliches are endless... I've been waiting to use that one the whole time I was writing this review hahahah.

:kenny: oh BTW, the demo is over 2 GB so this one is definitely an "over-nighter" as it took 2-3 hrs to DL from filefront.

Who needs links when we all have google lol.

P.S. The mouse sensitivity is way too high in this game, and since it's demo there is no mouse sens. setting to adjust. So use a low sens.

1hr.4min. turned out to be 50 min dl.Needs a little better control setup,he can't even go straight forward keeps pulling to the right.Me thinks batman needs a front end alignment.lol Pretty cool looking though and is fun beating the crap out of the prisoners.Wouldn't run out & buy it.

yeah the controls are demo controls, i had to turn down my mouse sens really low to get any sort of control. The fanboy in me says this game rocks because of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. i might grab it when the price drops after the first month.
