the demo trailer is 150 MB.. not sure I could post this.

[Rhyme]

Thanks for picking up slack bro , I have been on and off today!

[DeaconBlade]

i'm ready to try this demo.

[Elite Effect]

i'm ready to try this demo.
Same here, I hope it's good...Don't really wanna be let down with this one, it look very Promising.

Theres already a demo of the challenge mode at PS3 kiosks in Walmarts.

[aquaboy1976]

I enjoyed the demo!

[DeaconBlade]

yep i've been hearing good things about it. i'll be playing it tonight. :coolguy:

[blazsox]

It's definitely a buy for me. Both the challenge mode demo and the SP demo were fun. Probably will wait for a deal though - even though I can get it for about $52 on Amazon right now after coupons and tax.

This is not a game I would like (GayMan sucks!) but if I were to get that great Amazon deal ($53.49) then use the $5 off code (5OFFARKM) - I would then get the little worse looking Ps3 version, over the lack of content 360 one.

Playable Joker, & other added goodies are too much to pass up. I still think this game will be a bore fest with very easy stealth kills, & the same bland hand to hand fighting I see in the Vids - That being said, it does look very good for a GayMan game, & I have no doubt it will score very good on most reviews.

I guess many male gamers have a hard-on for a man in tights.

[AeroHudson]

Loved the SP demo. Played through it about 5 times. I read another preview that stated the game gets quite a bit deeper gameplay wise as you progress through the story ramping up the challenge. Can't wait to get my hands on this one...should be good.

[Viper86]

The demo was fun, even though the voice acting was awful. It's something I might consider picking up once it's cheaper.
