Seeing some gameplay I was surprised at how "bland" it looked (not the graphics, those look like a theatrical animated movie from about 12 years back). It seems like they tried to make it more like the Skylanders games, but without the personality (R&C has the feel more like a second rate CGI film, the type that goes to theaters, makes 10-20 million and quietly goes to home video). I don't own any Skylanders games, but they have pretty good production vales with their cut scene animation, plot, and especially voice acting.
I'm not saying it doesn't seem like a fun game, just that nothing really grabs you (or at least me).
