I played it aswell, despite the weird animations it's actually fun, *le gasp*, and the plot is also entertaining in a so-bad-it's-good way.
I'd say it's worth a rent, definantly a rent.
EDIT: Yes there is fatalities.
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.
