Yeah, it _does_ look kind of ugly, but it's a lot more animated than the
rendered Koubus from the first game. Besides, the attacks you get later and
combined attacks look very good, so that kind of makes up for it.

Yeah, the loading times were a definite minus...still, there was a lot more
going onscreen than in the first game, so again, it's a trade-off.

I personally preferred the special moves in the second game because there
were more of them. To each his own, I guess.
