ign gave it an 8, but the reasons the reviewer marked it down were dumb as fuck. he said the kombat was great & he liked the meter, but didnt like that he had to fight 1 on 2 matches (endurance), was annoyed that bosses werent stunned as easily, thought the story was cheezy, had a "1992 art style" & didnt like that you can't skip cut scenes in story mode (thats kinda legit).
he didnt talk about ANY of the modes & only did a 1 page review.
all those other reviews are far more accurate. just picked up my copy this morning & enjoying it thoroughly.
