To be honest, the animations don't look THAT bad to me. Everyone is acting like they're some kind of Looney Tune from another dimension when in reality it just looks like a video game with some laggy animation. If the gameplay is fun, I can easily overlook the animation from what I've seen. Hell, I don't know if I'd have noticed had the Internet not made such a big deal of it.
I still think my three or four personally-anticipated games for the price of one with mixed reviews is a solid idea though. In the end I'll probably just go with my gut. It bought McDonald's inside a Wal-Mart today, sure. But it USUALLY makes the right choice.
