The sweet spot will be if they can come up with a game where you lose a few times to each fighter before being able to beat them, making the game about 10 hours long. But even that probably won't feel like you've gotten your money's worth unless there are other facets to the game.

I'm still definitely getting it, but it's probably going to have to go on sale for me to jump.

SI

The impressions I've seen indicate that the single player mode is going to be relatively easy for the regular/hardcore gamer. Hopefully they have a tougher difficulty level in the works.
