Well, thanks to jet-lag, I was up at 2:15 this morning (PST) and played BAA. I had a lot more fun than expected. Until I get the next, delayed installment of Splinter Cell, BAA will fill my stealth needs nicely.

Here are a few features i found for anyone on the fence about buying this game.

PS3 Version

Able to play as The Joker in eight Challenge Map which will be released as downloadable content on August 25th on the PlayStation Network. This DLC will be free.

There will be a “Batman Arkham Asylum Batcave Outpost Apartment”. Apparently, this will be only for PlayStation Home. It will contain items such as the Batsuit, Batmobile, and Batwing, along with various Bat-gadgets. This content on PlayStation Home will be free.

The comic book “The Road to Arkham” will be given to PSP owners via download on the PlayStation Network. This comic will be free but will most likely NOT be able to be read by your PS3.

The PlayStation 3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum will use some elements of SIXAXIS Motion Control.

btw, I was thinking of getting the special edition but I learned that the batarang is just for show. it’s attached to the base.

I found some fan made batarangs on ebay for way cheaper. 12.99
I’ll just pick up the game and that for show.

I wish i could get the limited ed. I would like that 14 inch batarang sitting on my shelf.

for the extra 40 bucks, sounds good but what am i going to do with it?

run around the city knocking criminals in the back of the head with it

LOL no.

yeah, just played the demo this morning on my ps3. really good graphics. controls feel smooth when doing counter attacks. love doing glide attacks from above.

I may have to reserve this. ( I’m trying to save for a ipod touch but hey it’s batman lol )

Gamestop has the scarecrow level and the ps3 version has playable Joker.

Hopefully it is a different demo than the one I’ve had on my PS3 demo machine in my store for 3 months. It is fun, but I’d like to see what some of the single player stuff plays like. Also, as usual, Mark Hamill really does an excellent job on the voice of The Joker.

Ah crap! I completely forgot about that and pre ordered it from another place….. :’( Hopefully it’s one of those in game codes that everyone can use like what they did with far Cry 2.

I’ll have to check this out. Based on the game footage I’ve seen, it still reminds me of Sam Fisher with a cape and cowel. But hopefully it will be good.
