On one hand its surprising how much information you can take in (once you have learnt what everything is ans where it all is). However, you dont need to know all that stuff at any one time within the game(do you?), the designer needs to curate what is required at any one time. The game shown above needs to take a look at fighting games, where relevant info pops up, then goes away. its also a clarity thing, this interface is overly colourful, it looks very busy. its a tough call. 2009 to 2012, not much has changed(?)
