After reading many great things about this game I decided to give it a try on the PS3 since I found it new for €28.

Was a bit shocked to see lots of tearing and slowdown in the intro and title screen!  Shocked
But once that's done, those problems are nowhere to be seen for the most part of the game. A bit tearing here or there, but nothing major.

Took a bit of time to get into, but once I got the gang of it I loved the game and it only became better and better.
The part in the morgue is definitely one of my favourites!  Grin Simply awesome!
Really like the fighting as well, extremely simple, yet it's hard enough to string together a 20+ combo, and once you do it feels very satisfying.
Great atmosphere and voice acting as well.
Love the challenge maps so far, even though I've only unlocked a few. Must have played the first one for 2 hours already trying to do a Dark Knight on all 4 levels.

The game isn't perfect though, but nothing really is.
Love the use of the gadgets and can't wait till I unlock all of them.

I still haven't finished and haven't even played it in a month or two.  I really need to finish it so I can finish Uncharted 1 and then go get Uncharted 2.   Smiley

I find that if I wait and buy a game after I've finished the last game I bought, it really cuts down on my game spending!  Current gen, anyway.  If I see a box of old games, then all bets are off!

Hehe, that would probably be the best way to go for me as well as I keep spending tons of money on games. But somehow I can't help it.

Right now I'm starting to look into buying an arcade cabinet which is my holy grail since I grew up playing them at home from the age of 3.
Thinking about getting a Sega New Astro City cab from Japan, but I need to work out the logistics about how to get it here in the first place.
As well as save up a bit to be able to actually buy one; Wink
