Batman: Arkham asylum.

[Ferry_vO]

Anyone else here tried the demo or the full game? I downloaded and played through the demo and I'm pretty impressed by what I saw so far!
Short story: The Joker takes over the asylum releasing all the inmates and only the caped crusader can save the day.

The demo runs great on my three-year old system and the graphics are excellent. The main action consists of hand-to-hand combat and stealth tactics, including gliding down on an unsuspecting enemy or grabbing him while hanging upside down. You can use a grappling hook to get to higher grounds and attack your enemy from the shadows.

Two screenshots from the cut scenes, done with the game engine:

So am I still the only one playing this..?

Got a free Steam download version of the full game with my new computer (As well as H.A.W.X. and Far Cry 2)

This is not a typical average movie-to-game conversion, but IMHO one of the best games of this year!
There's a bit of sneaking around, some hand-to-hand combat, tomb raider style exploring and some puzzles to solve, plus you get to play with Batman's gadgets too. Gaining experience points from fighting unlocks upgrades to upgrade the bat and his toys. The asylum in infested with all sorts of characters from the movies and comics; the Riddler throws riddles at you and the Joker taunts you through the PA system. Mark Hamill did a great job playing the joker btw!

Some more screenshots before I go back to Gotham, all uneditted in-game shots!:
