The characters in the game are more akin to comic book characters, sure, but the ideas aren't hurt by the crazy characters. The absurd characters add a lot to the gameplay because it allows unique fights. They don't ruin the story. Oh, and comic book characters seem to be doing fine in movies, along with transforming cars. See, now you're deflecting the conversation. Last time I checked, Transformers and comic book movies didn't spend the last half hour of the movie preaching philosophy to me. They were smart enough to know that kitschy hiding in cardboard boxes and looking at titty magazines to ease nausea doesn't work with in-depth philosophical ramblings after the climax of the piece. |
Movies are much shorter than games. Transformers and comic book movies both had kitschy moments, but putting them in games allows you to expand on those and fit in a lot of other content. Making someone laugh inbetween the other elements isn't a bad thing. So much content it fills up the entire disc...heh...
