    I read it and watched the review and I am even more excited for it than I was before. The only problem now is my drought of money to buy it with but I will hopefully make ends meet.

    Haven't read the IGN one yet, but do the mention anything about the length?  That's the only thing that has me worried at this point.

    12 hours or something I think? I'm not sure exactly but I'm pretty sure it's 12 hours.

    wow, you know even when i played the demo, and even after seeing all those features/vids everywhere, i still wasn't convinced this was worth buying, but the more i hear and see makes me want to pick it up.
     
    i will admit looking back at the demo there was so much there already and that was obviously so little of the game.
     
    guess august 28th is the day!!!

    I was pissed when the IGN review said "without spoiling anything, when you find (so and so) is cool". Why did you need to tell me that, goddamn it? I had no idea (so and so) was in the game, and now I do. Thanks.
     
    Anyways, I'm really hyped and can't wait for this to come out.

    @Ineedaname: Batman has ninja style agility so of course he's going to feel almost weightless.

    I don't really mind if they just tell you that somebody is in the game. I knew he was already in the game judging by the thing about him in the demo.

    In the room where you save the guard and take down Zsasz theres a wall you can see through and explode in the full game when you are in detective mode and it's got a bunch of markings in it that remind me of the guy.

    I know about that guy, I was referencing R.A.G. Unless there were clues that he was in the game? I didn`t see any in the demo, but I saw the markings in detective mode for the other guy.

    In the review they talk about Ra`s. I didn`t know he was in the game. I knew Riddler was in the game because you could find stuff about him in the demo (like his cell full of question marks and the bio on him), which is who I`m assuming you`re talking about. I didn`t know that there was anything about Ra`s in the demo.

    No, no, no...in the room where you take down Zsasz, turn on detective mode and theirs a wall with an explosive symbol on it and you can see through the wall and it looks like it's Ra's cell. If I'm remembering correctly, it had a bunch of arabic writing and stuff in it.

    Ohhh, okay. I saw that wall but I didn`t really try to look through it or anything. Thanks for clearing that up. I should have seen that, I`m a pretty big Batman fan so I would have guessed it was his cell if I looked back there. Damn.

    Meh, it seemed like Gears of War mixed with parts of Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell. Not that interesting.

    I'm excited to see this game reviewing so well. I went all nerdy and ordered the limited edition on Amazon with release day delivery a couple of months ago. Glad to see the game will probably be worth the money. =)

    Looks like a good game, but at the same time it looks like one of those games i will only play once and then puck back on the shelf to collect dust.
