Batman: Arkham Asylum puts you behind the cowl of the iconic Dark Knight, fighting his way through Arkham Asylum to stop the Joker from enacting a sinister plot that would have grave consequences for Gotham City.
When will the reviews start coming?
They've been given the chance to have an early review, GB's review won't be up for a while. IGN might have it up a couple of days early and I'm not too sure about Game Trailers.
You know, after that demo, I don't really need reviews. All signs point to this game being good. The only thing left to determine is how good really.

I mean like good enough to stand on its own and all that. Yes, I fully admit every other Batman game has been terrible, but that is irrelevant at this point. I mean, you never know for sure until you play the finished game, but the chances of it being garbage are very, very low.
I suppose you can expect them from the big publications (GameSpot, IGN, etc.) either starting this week or around the release date. Depending on whether the dudes get a review copy or not, they might have a review on release date, or shortly there-after. There are currently two reviews in from GameRankings, both pointing toward the game being very good. At the end of the day, however, it all comes down to whether or not you enjoy the game, and don't let a person's opinion stop you from playing a game.
Unless it so happens to be a universally bad game.

Yeah seriously. It's got all the awesome stuff batman and story-wise (well written dialogue, original voice cast etc) but imo at least the gameplay came off very shallow and pretty clunky. I still intend to pick it up when I can afford it though purely for the awesome voice cast

Wait, I couldn't tell. Did you just call me a fucking dick? Because personal attacks are not welcome on these forums." @Drebin_893 said:
