Ok the other part about this game that is getting me friggin' pissed is that you cannot install to your hard drive, so load times are horrendous. I blame the developers, after playing games like Uncharted and Soul Calibur this game just looks unpolished.

Yeah the PS3 version doesn't have an install feature that I am aware of. I've been playing this game like crazy and although it's very buggy at times it is still an extremely fun game. I like the fact that it's a game I can just pop in when I have friends over for some mindless smashing fun, and it's an easy enough game even on super heroic that my wife can play a second character.

There are a few tweaks it could use though, and some things in the game just don't make sense. I get the feeling that the developers are new to the PS3 when playing the game, and after checking their website it appears this is the first PS3 game they've published that I've seen.

The ways I would improve the PS3 version:

* Allow local install - game load times are horrendous.
* Fix tearing issue for cinema scenes, and fix the memory leak / crash bug (game seems to get slower and slower the longer you play and sometimes causes a lockup into a green screen where you have to reboot the PS3)
* Allow accumulation of stat boosts through multiple games: It's somewhat disappointing that you can play a new game and don't get the stat boosts anymore if you've already gotten it, instead you just get an exp bubble.
* Online play - this is a whole can of worms, but essentially I would like to see separate character exports from a personal game, instead of just playing someone else's save.
