Looking at the actions, the moves and the wall jumping stuff, this has the potential to be a good game in what has been an unspectacular series so far.

But have they gone too far with trying to make cartoon's of the players? And will this have a detrimental effect on the game as a whole?

I'm torn on whether to get this. I think gameplay wise it could be good, but looking at screenshots, the players look like something from the PS1 days.

I like the gameplay but yes the players do spoil the game a bit as a whole.
