It would be harder to believe the game doesn't dig a little deeper than what was displayed in a 15 minute demo, but it's a lot easier to write off if you don't have any particular interest in the DC/Batman universe.

But if that was the case, I'm not even sure why anyone would feel obligated to voice an opinion about something they didn't care about.

I wasn't planning on buying the game until after I played the demo. Visually, it's one of the best uses of the Unreal Engine, including Gears 2.

From a story angle, it looks to be a solid screen play based very loosely on the classic Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, with solid voice acting by a cast of VO actors from the animated shows.

Game play is quick to pick up, fun and combat is visceral. I found myself playing the demo multiple times which is a rarity for me.
