    This looks like a budget Bayonetta. It doesn't quite nail the look of the show, but more Bayonetta gameplay is always a good thing! It even has witch time! I hope they do something interesting with the story.

    Looks like a Platinum game, so day 1 purchase for me.

    Meh, looks perfectly fine, but doesn't really wow me. If this was anything other than a Korra game, I might pick it up for the hell of it, but well...fuck that noise

    I've never watched Avatar/Korra, despite being somewhat interested. I'm willing to watch the whole series to prep for this.

    Why? Because it's Platinum.

    Just looking at the combat, there's an oddly physical sensation to it that you don't get a lot in these types of games. Like in Devil May Cry, most of your swords just seem to fly through enemies like they're butter. Korra's bending, though? That shit packs a punch. (I guess the Arkham games also have that feeling, but they're a completely different game altogether.)

    Seems like it has solid gameplay systems in place, though with Platinum at helm I was pretty confident in that. I am more interested in seeing how it treats the license though. I'm already noticing little things like the fact that she seems to be pulling water out of her ass, which is somewhat disappointing considering a water source is supposed to be required for waterbending. I also don't get the sense that the game really captures bending as its portrayed on the show. It seems more like a standard third person melee action game themed around bending instead of a swordplay rather than the incredibly free-form bending as in the show. Granted, it would be pretty much impossible to implement a system with the near limitless potential bending provides in a game (similar to how no game has managed to make telekinesis as fun or powerful as it should be).

    Still, I never dreamed of getting a competently playing action game set in this universe, so I'm certainly leaning towards a day one purchase.

    Try God Hand, punches are HARD as hell (It's also a Platinum game).

    Well, it was Clover. Pretty much Platinum before Platinum.

    Looks totally reasonable and they're doing well by the franchise and not just pooping it out but graphically though, Is it just me or does it it look kinda...not bad but just plain? I imagine this is going to be cross-gen but whenever I've seen the Naruto games in action they've looked more visually appealing. The texturing for the environments look okay (even if the modelling is just flat arenas) just yeah, maybe that little shading on the character models themselves just stand out too much? I was thinking more El Shaddai but maybe not. It looks like the show but just missing something that makes it feel a bit soul less?

    Just got to the end, wait? This is going to be a downloadable only game? Well, maybe I'll let it off then it's downloadable pricing, $15~

    The Naruto games took like 10 versions to perfect the look

    It looks faster than I'd like it to be. All the movement is so spastic, and I feel like smoother animations would make for a better representation of the TV show. PlatinumGames' releases have been pretty hit-or-miss for me, so I'm taking a wait-and-see approach on this one.

    Also, I'd prefer an Avatar: The Last Airbender game to a Legend of Korra game, but I guess that's an unreasonable request.

    Eh, every one of their games have had amazing songs in them, and I wouldn't even say Rules of Nature is the best song in MGR, just the most popular.
