Sounds like an intriguing game. But as one mentioned already, it will come down to marketing. Sony will need to realize that they don't want a game that sells hot in the first week then dies off as do so many of their hardcore games. To do well, and to get the casuals that they want with this game, they need to convince not the core gamers but to convince the consumers buying the PS3 as a Blu-Ray movie player, that this game is cute enough to play without being too hard to play.
It's going to be a difficult tightrope to manuveer over. Too cute and the majority of hardcore base will reject it. Not cute enough and the casuals will reject it.
It seems to have been a long time in the making. I wonder how much it costed to make, and how many copies must be sold to get a profit out of it?
Torturing the numbers. Hear them scream.
