Why is everyone hyping this game up again?

I'm not gonna take long to do this. But it's my fault that I bought into the hype around this game online. It was cheap (less than 6 bucks) so I don't think I missed out on much. However, it doesn't change the fact that this is just a by the numbers, 2D fighter that doesn't do anything unique. The original on the Playstation was great when playing it. I know it was in 3D and this isn't, but this game could have been so much more. I've played tons of 2D games that kick ass and this definitely isn't one of them. It's just an average fighter that I never would have paid attention to (again), if I didn't buy into the hype!

My favorite in the series is probably Ellis. But since my favorite guy is Kayin, I picked him first. I beat the storyline in less than 2 hours time and the main one that gave me trouble was Gaia. But he's a cheap boss who has powerful moves. You have to be kinda lucky to beat him.

The main thing about this game that stood out though was its humor. I haven't played with anyone else so far, but Kayin has got to be the biggest smart ass in the game! What he had to say about some of his opponents after he left them in the dust at times had me laughing out loud.

But I can't give this game much praise otherwise.

Graphics? Fine.
Sound? Overall, Meh.
Controls? Overall, Fine.
Fun Factor: Meh. You can use your special moves which help, but don't do much damage.

Overall, I just wouldn't recommend this one like everyone else. It has a decent user rating here and at amazon but I simply don't agree. It's a pretty bare bones experience that could have benefited from a cool gimmick or some needed depth or something. I don't know what else to say! Mindless "fun" I suppose.
