My Thoughts
I am so happy that at last a Korra game is getting made, I love that it will have some story to it and it won't just be a retelling of one of the books. Makes it seem very important. The art style looks great with the cell shading style, a great way to give Korra's traditional animation style a 3d look. I am not expecting miracles in terms of gameplay as it is a downloadable game, but I think we have a good developer making it and it should be a solid game well worth playing, but it is hard to tell at such an early stage.
