Got my copy of Batman today. From the brief time I've spent with it, it is as good as advertised. My favorite thing about these games is that they force the player to slow down and plan during fights. You're surrounded by 10 or more enemies and the initial reaction is to button mash to clear them out ASAP. But that's not the best way to do things. Plan the attack, one button press per move, no wasted actions. It's amazing how well the devs were able to replicate what makes Batman so awesome in fights.

I've been meaning to get a PS2 for about two years now, it just turns out that every time I have the money together something comes up and I can't buy it. That said, I got a Gamecube the day it came out, and I totally haven't regretted my purchase.
