In a nutshell: A rare gaming bright spot for the Dark Knight.
0:00 Despite the absolutely enormous amounts of hype for this one, I've been trying to tamp down my expectations -- it is a superhero game, after all, and they almost invariably suck. I even ignored the demo so I could go into the full game fresh. So ... here we go!
0:01 Right off, I like how the preview screen puts an old-fashioned TV around the tiny video of Batman kicking and punching a bunch of bad guys.
0:02 "There is not enough free space on the hard disk. At least 486 MB more free space is needed." Of course it is...
0:03 So long, NPPL Pro Paintball install data. You will not be missed terribly much.
0:04 "For optimal performance, 2286 more MB of HDD space is needed. You may continue playing, or quit now to free up space." First off, why are you just telling me this now? Second off, hell yeah I want the optimal experience!
0:05 So long, MLB 09: The Show install data. You were incredibly huge and pointless.
