| I've been playing the game and it is fantastic. Not your usual mediocre
movie adaptation. Imagine Batman meets Splinter Cell in a gritty sometimes
gothic urban setting.

Wow, someone who uses "Dark Knight" as an alias and is possibly from DC
comics is trolling for a game that hasn't been released yet.
As 90% of all Batman games released in the last 20 years have been utter
crap, I think I'll wait for some more objective reviews.

You're being melodramatic.
If you've played Splinter Cell then Batman will feel familiar. One of the
key features is the 'fear factor'. You can interact with your environment
in ways that will raise the fear level of your opponents and weaken them.
As you play, you will unlock cut scenes and primary plot points from the
movie. Nothing that can't be learned from reading the preview at Gamespy,
but what I can tell you is that the game is extremely fun.

| OK,
Just to clear things up...
A: Have you actually played it?
B: Where did you play it?
C: Are you at all associated with the creation and / or marketing of this
game?
Tara!

Well, here's an unbiased review from IGN
(http://cube.ign.com/articles/626/626615p2.html?) :
Another Take from Ivan Sulic
In difference to Matt, I think Batman Begins was only a passable game,
and not one that I would label as "good."
The fear system is so weakly implemented, the stealth elements are so
heavily swayed by trial and error and the game's progression is so
tediously scripted, I never became the Dark Knight.
Even though I'm supposed to be the Caped Crusader, I am too feeble to
take on gunmen, too lame to scare anybody by doing anything that doesn't
involve dropping some form of box, and too dumb to be the world's
greatest detective. Not so good.
But, considering that this title is such an otherwise well presented
game, I'm inclined to be less dismissive than I would be with a similar
effort that also happened to feature bugs and sloppy voice work and some
poor visuals (or whatever).
That said, comparing Batman Begins' action to Splinter Cell and its
racing to Burnout still does both Ubisoft and Criterion an extreme
disservice since this game is never anything better than fair.
