"cheap in the context of the lore?" you mean it's just boring story-wise? Fair enough.

What's so bad about progressively unlocking new powers? That sounds like a good thing, I thought everyone loved that stuff. Technically the reason Dragon Ball Z has survived these 50 long years or so.

I keep seeing reviews like these and I am honestly surprised. As a big time gamer and a huge Avatar: The Legend of Korra fan, I truly love this game. I think it's great, it was a job well done. I don't see where it gets all the criticism, it does so many things so very well.
