I wouldn't count on it, afterall the Cel shaded look allows it to use bolder enviroments and enemies without conforming to reality, it also often means that the lighting effects are astronishing, which is what the PoP series needs as a backbone - mood.
I'll probably get it even if it sucks, I'm a huge series fan of it, and while this one is fairly different from the previous 3 PoP exploits, I have no doubt that Ubisoft know what they are doing
BTW, I made 2 PoP inspired signatures, check out the changing room ... you may like them ^__^
