Your OP amused me since it was about as far from "straight to the point" as can be :P
But apart from that, I agree with a lot of what you said, you bring up a variety of good points.
The biggest flaw in the game - for me - was the story mode. I actually really enjoy the mechanics of the game, despite what everyone else says about it. Lack of feedback from hits? You're filling YOUR bar instead of an opponents bar. Works absolutely fine for me. Fast, fluid and enjoyable.
But after that initial video of title fight, I was so hopeful Sony were going to nail the arcade mode in this kind of game. There's so much potential there for great crossover, an enjoyable storyline where the characters invade each others universes etc. But character stills telling a nonsensical story is not it. Not it at all. The brief cut scenes before the rival fight were a great example of what worked, but they were over before they even begun.
The roster didn't actually bother me, but then again, it was aimed at people like me who would be happy with Ratchet/Jak/Sly anyway. And "people like me" aren't a particularly big group to target a game at, which was another problem.
