Fear not, if Jeff and Ryan's twitters are any indication, Ryan's playing it and they're going to have something interesting to say when it's done.  I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Ryan will give it 4 stars.  With the major negatives being that it's 'too Japanese' and maybe 'too many cutscenes'.  Could be wrong.  I'd be shocked by anything lower, though, given the general review layout of the game so far.

I think it'll get three stars, too hectic, too much happening on screen at times to keep up with, like BlazBlue.  Totally awesome game though, it's this teams best work.  Love all the references to God Hand, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and DMC.  It's pretty awesome to have a candidate for my own GOTY not ten days into the year.  Good stuff.
