m2caldwell Funk not only moves, it can remove, dig? Two much Neo since: Nov 2002	Aug 25, 09 at 1:16pm ^ The "I got it!/First impressions" Thread
	Giving in to temptation, I went to my gamestop last night to get my copy of the game. Surpringly, there were about 40-50 people at the store, awaiting the release. More than I expected, anyway, and everyone was very excited for Batman: Arkham Asylum. I ended up playing for about 3 hours last night, and I had a hard time turning the console off and forcing myself to go to bed; I could have played all night and straight through today if not for obligations to work and family. It's just that good. When Eidos said that the demo didn't do the game justice, they weren't kidding! The demo is a HEAVILY edited version of what is in the first level of B:AA. Without giving too much away, the opening cinematic is much more in depth, with a long sequence over the credits as you escort the Joker (who is wisecracking all the way) into the depths of the Asylum. Mark Hamill's voice work is spot-on perfect, and this longer opening cinematic really sets the tone. Gameplay proper begins just as it does in the demo, but I was quickly surprised to find that one of the first air-ducts I crawled through did not take me the same place it did in the demo. Kudos to the developers for delivering a demo that somehow edited out large parts of the early game without feeling like it was all cut up. Anyway, I will stop now as going much further would spoil things for the rest of you. I'll just say that so far it's a great game, so much deeper than what was in the demo. I can't wait to get back to it later today! ------------------- quote Thomas Jefferson My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

	Argos bleeped up my order so it's unlikely I'm getting it until 9th September.

	Wow Thanks for the info, caldwell! Did a good job at not really spoiling it, yet letting us know the demo indeed was not the very start! That is excellent to hear! Now I just wait for my game to come in!! ------------------- Unashamed to be a Christian! My PSN Name is Reverend_M

	The wait is officially killing me... I only have Fat Princess to keep me company right now, gotten slightly bored of Demon's Souls that was meant to tide me over.

	I wasn't planning on it, but I may run over to Gamestop in the next couple of days and pick it up. The problem is, I really don't have time for movies/TV shows/video games anymore at the moment...

	I hate playing late at night. I often confuse tiredness for boredom and end the session early. I much prefer daytime gaming.
