It's an absolutely, unreservedly brilliant game. Easily the most I've been wowed by a new release so far this year.

I definitely left out the coolest parts of the Scarecrow encounters and was sad I had to, but in the essence of respect for both the game and people who will play it, it was necessary. Those moments where you were left thinking "What the hell is going on" would be completely ruined if you read about it prior, but are two of the most jarring and brilliant things done in a game when you don't expect them.

GTA in the sense most people consider that to be the greatest of its genre, and the culmination of years upon years of work.

It's quite amazing, yes, and your review does an extremely good job of exploring its more salient points.

Okay, after reading this review I'm definitely picking it up.

Hey guys, I'm about to do a massive spoiler. Look away loads if you don't want to see what my favourite bit of the game was. Which you shouldn't, until you've experienced it yourself.

Looks like HonestGamers needs to get a review up for this one, pronto. I'd buy it and do it myself since I have a long weekend coming up starting tomorrow but, well... it costs money and I'm sure the one video store in town that would MAYBE have a copy would have it checked out. Eidos could have of course sent us a review copy, but Eidos acted about like Eidos usually does and there's no more that needs to be said on that front. ;-)

Lewis needs to learn that comparing a game to BioShock in these parts is considered a warning, not a recommendation.

Personally I'm hoping Arkham Asylum is the Chaos Theory of comic book games.

I think we can all agree that hopefully it's the Katamari Damacy of video games. :)

I tried to play the demo but it didn't recognize my drivers and I didn't want so go through all this trouble just for a demo. So I didn't play it :)

Holy shit, that really does sound interesting. And I didn't even know it was a game four minutes ago.
