About five minutes long, really basic beat em up with some stealth gameplay mechanics thrown in. After playing the demo I would pass on this game at $10, I paid that for FantasticFour and didn't feel ripped off for comparisons sake ;)

Seems very solid to me. The combat is very smooth and feels right. The stealth stuff isn't great but it functions enough. Probably will be short so won't be worth $60, but possibly solid at $40 or less.

If you're thinking about buying the game you can get it for $48 from Amazon. It's already $52.99 (PS3/360) but 5OFFARKM will get you an additional $5 off.

I think kids will like it more than adults. the demo is rather repetitive.

It does however give you the sense of being Batman. The gadgets, the swooping in. the fact that they got the voice actor for bruce/batman from batman the animated series is a huge plus.

Its gonna be a rental for me unless there's something they aren't showing.
