Batman... is the demo a bad example of the game?

I finally got around to playing the demo... what is the big hoopla about this game? Everything felt pretty mediocre to me. The combat wasn't really challenging or interesting and the stealth mechanic seemed goofy. You shouldn't be able to individually stealth take down 4 people who are in a well lit room standing within 5ft of each other imo. After I did that I just turned the game off.

Is this like RE5 where the demo is bad but the actual game is good or am I the odd man out on the Batman train? People are using the words bestand everwhen describing it and i'm just not seeing it based off of what I played.

I thought the demo was awesome. I wasn't sure what to really expect when I started playing so I was going into it with a neutral perspective. The demo did what it was supposed to do. It introduced the basic mechanics and fundamental atmosphere of what playing Batman was going to be like. If I recall, I might have played the demo five times in a row.

I thought the demo was boring (the combat left me cold and I'm not a big fan of switching visors to find hidden stuff, an aversion installed in me by Metroid Prime) but I tip my hat to the creators of the game for offering it.

They have enough faith in the game to believe that allowing people to play a snippet of it would do more good than harm and if the reviews and the predominant sentiment on the internet means anything, they were right.

Demo = Poor Example of Batman: AA

I believe it was the same demo that came out in April or May prior to the full game being delayed and adding 2-3 more months of development time / polish, I believe the delay was a great decision...

I thought the demo was just OK but the full game was amazing...

I thought rocksteady / eidos hit the nail on the head in terms of what a Batman game should be... (Though I wish the story was alittle longer)

I can't wait til the next one...

I went into the demo not really expecting to care too much about the game and probably just relegating it to a rental at best. I say this mostly because while I do enjoy Batman I am definitely more a fan of Marvel and their characters. I ended up loving the demo and bought the game and after my one playthrough of it I found this to not only be the best Batman game ever made but also the best superhero game and a definite contender for Game of the Year.
