Ugh. You couldn't do more to make me less interested in this game if you tried. Kid Icarus is supposed to be a relatively light-hearted game, not a God of War copycat clone. Seriously, a tatoo?! While we're at it, let's give Pit a scruffy unshaved look and have him take part in some Xtreme Sports! After all, that's what 15 year olds think is awesome, right?
And no offense, but the notion of the main character being cursed and turning into a "dark" version of himself is about as cliched as it gets. (Didn't we already see this a dozen times already, in series like Prince of Persia and Jax and Daxter?) I'm very much hoping that this is a fake, and that the developer comes up with something better.
