Great concept idea, poorly made...

I wont lie, all of my life i wanted something like this.. sooo bad, when i first read about it i kept my expectations high... perhaps way to high...

Photo Dojo allows you the creation of your own fighting character by taking snaps of yourself or other friends, as you read it sounds amazing right? and then a lot of ideas start to come to your mind, like.. oh im gonna make myself a Futuristic robot with powerful multidiretional pew pew lazershotz and summon mechanical minions to aid me on my fight, or how about a Chun Lin-like sexy female fighter with an arsenal of kicks and fancy supermoves?, well guess what?... thats not gonna happen here.

standing punch, standing kick, jump, crouch, a taunt, one fireball move, and one supermove... that all the moves u got... yes THATS ALL..., the animation of each of this moves is always the same, so don't even think about planning your own super macho poses, you're not allowed to... oh and.. the super move is already predefined, you cannot customize it, your "Character" spins around in the most stupid and uninspired way i've ever seen.

The game features only 2 modes:

Single player: Beat 100 copies of yourself or other created characters and try to break your own score, this is kinda like a Beat-em-all game mode.

Vs mode: Wirelessly battle another friend with your created charaters. and thats it.

Another thing that irritates me are the dirty and unworked frame edges, they make the animation look so unrealistic and lame, I thought adding a completely white background and a clear daylight illumination to my pictures would get rid of that... well, it didnt, same result.

So basically Photo Dojo is a game where its only etertainment motto relies on the process of creating the character, cause the game itself once finished will surely bore u after 10 seconds of playing it, a true dissapointment to me, hopefully someone else will grab this same idea with better features and an overall improved game experience.
