since everything for me is blocked at work I'm reduced to scraping the bottom of the barrell for info. Found this on PennyArcade

They introduce two strong concepts in the demo: smooth combat versus multiple opponents, and a kind of stealth game where you "hunt" a room from the shadows. At the end of the demo, they imply combat against a single opponent, but having experience with the other systems, I'm having a hard time imagining one-on-one combat as being a position of strength for them, and the demo ends at the very moment you could find out.

I hope you're right. I read a couple early reviews that weren't favorable, however MetaCritics (whoever they are) gave it 90/100. So maybe the reviews I read were garbage.

if they complained that it is a lot of mashing buttons then they should be discarded. I do not understand this complaint. God of War is a bunch of mashing buttons and that game is AWESOME!

agreed, but Dynasty Warriors are button mashers and they are not (well the first ones were okay but now that they are on 6x10^5 they are not good anymore)

I think playing one Dynasty Warrior game is pretty fun.

My problem with Dynasty Warrior is that if you played one, you played them all.

Devils May Cry is pretty funny and that is pretty much a button masher.

There are good button mashers and bad button mashers. I just do not believe that being a butotn masher makes a game bad.

My brief take-

Solid demo...
Didn't like how gargoyles were tossed randomly inside the asylum just so that you could swing to and from them.
Graphic style is cool in my book..Batman looks awesome
The game seems like it could get extremely repetitive though ... I hate games like that.

Looks like a solid weekend rent.

I'm have a PS3 and I'm bitter about God of War. I by one to find out after I bought it, Sony decided to remove backwards comp in the model I picked. It isn't the only reason I bought the thing but was part of the appeal. BASTARDS!!! :tantrum:

Looking forward to Arkam though.

It's a Sony title. It would never come out for another system.
