Having just played the demo though I really enjoyed it. The one thing that amused us was the notion that Rocksteady must have assumed that they couldn't remove the "hold finger to ear and walk excruciatingly slowly whilst on the radio" mechanic from Unreal Engine 3. Why anybody thought this was a good idea I can't imagine, let alone copy it for another game! Such minor issues aside, the combat & atmosphere here are very solid so I would suggest it's worthy of the good reviews. Somewhat unfortunate Eidos PR got caught with their hands in the till trying to massage them. We had this in work and my colleague wasn’t sure about it.

I haven't felt this excited for a game in a long time. It's one of those games that makes you feel twelve years old again, and you just beat it over and over again because you like it that much.
