Not much negativity from the game as reviewers seem to really take a liking from the presentation of the game itself, let alone the available features. IGN already rated the game an overall 9.4/10.For the goodies inside the game, there are many to choose from. You’ll be able to unlock 74 characters (many more to come), echo-fighters are also included (when choosing certain characters they may have 2 characters in their box selection), more than 100 stages, 800 musical tracks, a story mode, and so much more!
