[quote name='Jedah Doma']Downloaded this demo in anticipation. The graphics and sound are sweet. Though once I got into the actual gameplay, things faltered. It's just very average. Throw a few punches or kicks and that's it. No grabs at all! In light of better beat em ups like Alien vs. Predator or others, this isn't worth the cash. I'll go back to playing Final Fight.[/QUOTE]
By the time you hit the second or third stage, you build up a pretty solid moveset that makes gameplay more fun. if you decide to work on leveling up even more, more awesome and useful moves are unlocked. I could already tell the difference once I beat the game with a maxed out Scott Pilgrim and played it on the next difficulty up with Ramona and realized how big a difference it from starting from square zero. If you need games to make you feel powerful from start to end, this isn't for you. But if you're willing to work yourself up and earn the really great moves and build the skills to accomodate them, its more than worth it.
