or Nickelodeon meddling to get a game out as soon as possible to coincide with the new season. Probably had Platinum's B-list team working on it since Bayonetta 2 came out with top scores across the board.
Probably the same group of people who worked on Madworld (which is a bad game) and Anarchy Reigns (which without its multiplayer is average if we're being nice) made this game. Both of those games were on the simpler, less interesting side of Platinum Games combat (which is what Korra looks like), but were also more repetitive and less inspired in terms of crazy in comparison to the likes of Revengeance (great), Wonderful 101 (really good), Vanquish (good), and Bayonetta (fucking terrific).
It is a shame, because Korra as a IP looked like something that should have worked to Platinum's strengths. Might be the short development time? Game was basically done in a year or something.

Yup. I never expected much from Korra, and i'm still buying, but i can see this game being made by a much smaller team. Plus, no Hideki.
thats because LOK is awful series and even worse gaming series. last airbender should of been where it ended. The avatar universe had a huge potential though, shame it was ruined by tie in games with rushed dates.
I personally love the game. It feels like a old throwback beat em up Classic. The graphics are simple and the environments could look better but it gets the job done. I haven't watched the show so it might fail to capture the essence of the source material but the animated cutcsences are nice. Overall, I don't think it was intended to replicate the show but to dump the characters in a compertent action game with, what I would say is pretty good combat.
It's a very simple game that at least captures the style of the fighting and reviewers expected way too much from a licened $15 which was probably underfunded by Greedyvision. Even platinum can't make magic under these constraints.
lol @ this gen. The X1 and PS4 are just disappointing.
I remember when I used to be excited about new consoles. Everything about these consoles just feels like a moderate expansion on last gen consoles.
So few games are actually good that we celebrate it when a half decent game comes along, even though we may never play it. This is likely the worst year in gaming I can remember. It's so bad that people actually buy Destiny and Drive Club. In any other year, those games would have faded out of existence by now.
Kevin personally reads every single review and the whole staff discuss about the score. In other words, Kevin 3 score = GS score and Mark 10 score = GS score.

I dont think its cause everyone agrees on the score. If that were the case reviews would take much much longer cause that means everyone on staff would have to play it fully. I think its more like "hey imma give this game x score" then the staff is like "ok why is that" then explanation is given and then proof read and then review goes up.
@nini200: much better lol. I think the 14.99 hurt it as well. I woulda paid the full 59.99 retail for a fully realized avatar game. Instead I am passing on a 15 dollar pos
