I picked up this game back when it was released on Xbox 360 since it was made by the Guilty Gear guys; I wasn't expecting Guilty Gear, but I was expecting goodness.
In my opinion, the game is rather Lukewarm. The story is very bland (especially when compared to Guilty Gear and BlazBlue), the characters generally seem kind of stiff and doll-like, and the fighting is rather slow-paced and bland. Additionally, there was no online community at all; I could never even get a match.
I'd say it's a good stepping stone for someone looking to get into fighting games, but sadly it fails to be much more.
I actually really enjoyed this game when I played it on the 360. My only complain with it is that about a third of the cast are shotokans. Other than that, I had a fun time playing this with friends.
Playing this is sorta like playing Hokuto no Ken or Sengoku Basara X - is it the best Arc System Works has to offer? No, but it is different, and after playing BlazBlue for the hundredth time, it can be fun to roll out something else for a change.
not buying this again. great game though and glad its going to be out there for ps3 owners.. if i didnt already have a physical copy id get it for ps3.. but yeah.. no.
Something tells me I should get into fighters more. SFIV on PC, BlazBlue, this. Seems like they're all over the place the past couple weeks. Too bad I'm terrible at them. :(
Although, If I were to try, anyone got a recommendation for a fight stick on X360, PS3 or PC (perhaps universal?) as controllers were one thing that I never did enjoy using.
Hooray! I know this isn't the most beloved Aksys game, but I still wanted to play it. I refuse to use the 360 controller for a fighter, though. This announcement makes me really happy.
@Mister Jack is Stalking Konata: It seems a lot of people have that frame of reference as I see a lot of 2D fighters like BlazeBlue selling better on the PS3 for part of the reason being the controller.

I use the X-Arcade Dual Tankstick. Doesn't work for X360, but it does work for every other system since the Dreamcast, including PC.
