I was already going to.

No actually.
 
I'll probably rent it.

There's stuff I'm more interested in coming later this year. 10-12 hours isn't worth $60...Even if it's 10-12 hours awesome Bat time.

I was probably already going to.

Havent cared to read a single review yet. Going to buy it anyway.

Based on the little taste I got earlier on, I was expecting something fun to hold me over until the tide of releases later in the year, but I wasn't expecting anything nearly as good as what I've heard right now

I am strongly, strongly considering it. Before, I really wanted to rent it. Due to some of the games that I want to save up for, though, I think I'm gonna stick to the latter idea still.

Sort of.  Playing it with my friend last night is what really convinced me to buy the game, but the reviews definitely convinced me to give the game another look.

I was vaguely interested when I first heard comparisons to Bioshock, but none of the videos or images convinced me that it was anything more than a typical, though very good looking, comic property game. The announcement of the voice actors from the classic animated series hooked me a little bit, but still didn't make this a must purchase. The demo, while solid, actually brought my level of excitement for the game down a little bit because I started to fear that the brawling and stealth sequences might quickly become repetitive.
 
It wasn't until the overwhelmingly positive reviews started coming in that I got absolutely psyched to play this game. I actually just earlier today ordered the game on Amazon.

I beat the game this afternoon. I just want to put it out there that you really probably should buy this game. It has its flaws, but it's still one of the most enjoyable games this year so far.
 
The best thing about it is the way Arkham Asylum essentially becomes a character. It's packed with little bits and bobs of interest. It forces you to explore, and rewards you for doing so.
 
The closest thing I can compare it to is Bioshock.

The game is getting good reviews but, I still don't plan on buying it right away.  Maybe I'll pick it up later this year.

I was already going to, on launch, the reviews have now got me more hyped about it, but I have to wait until my xbox gets back from repair.

Playing it is what sold me on the game. The reviews just confirmed the feeling I already had about it.

Already gonna get it before the reveiws

I'm getting a "drink the koolaid" vibe in general from most outlets right now. I don't trust a game where nobody has a dissenting viewpoint. Not to say its bad, but if someone reads a good handful of these nob shining reviews then jumps in, their expectations couldn't possibly be met.

" There's stuff I'm more interested in coming later this year. 10-12 hours isn't worth $60...Even if it's 10-12 hours awesome Bat time. "

 As for the OT, I am going to pass. There is enough stuff coming out later this year that I will save my limited budget for. Though I would like to get Batman, there's others that are more important to me. "

" No actually.  I'll probably rent it. "

I was already planning on buying the game, but the reviews have helped reassure my decision

I wasn't sure if I was going to just buy or rent, when I played the demo I pretty much knew I was going to buy it.  The reviews really just solidified my decision.

Got the game already.

The reviews were one thing, but it's really the Amazon discounts that 'got me'.  If I didn't risk paying more after the game was actually released, or if the reviews had been pretty tepid, I wouldn't have gone ahead and kept my preorder.

I would have done it anyway

I don't really like Batman and I have a very limited budget for games this fall, so, no matter what the reviews say, I don't plan on picking it up.

 
No, not really. The gameplay doesn't look like stuff I would enjoy.

i have gamefly, ill rent it and love.... i only have to pay around 130 bucks a year to rent games.. thats like 2 full price games for 20-25 games i rent and play a year....

" There's stuff I'm more interested in coming later this year. 10-12 hours isn't worth $60...Even if it's 10-12 hours awesome Bat time. "

I cant say for sure.

This, when its down to 30$ or so i'll buy it. "

nope

I voted yes, though I was probably going to get it anyway, it wouldn't have been as soon as the release day.

I already don't have the money to buy the three or four games that I am heavily anticipating for this year. Sadly, Batman: AA is not on that list.

I'll rent it. If I see any game for £20 I'm liable to give it a shot, so next year probably.

No. The demo was more than enough to help me make up my mind.

I would have bought this game any way.

I want it, but there are things I desire more and thus, won't buy it now. Maybe later in the year.

Its at the top of my Gamefly que.

The reviews just confirms that I'm definitely buying it day 1

They actualy did. I didnt follow the game or play the Demo. And Im not an extremely hardcore Batman fan. But reading up the review's and knowing what it is about. Picking it up on day one

Not really. I wasn't interested in the game before it came out, and my feelings about the it have stayed the same post launch.
 
The demo was okay, but it wasn't quite as amazing as some people seemed to be making it out to be.

I knew that I was going to get this game since the reveal of the game in Game Informer.  THe Reviews have just been icing on the cake.
