You can pick it up and play it at a basic level almost immediately (helped a great deal by the excellent difficulty system) yet you'll still be learning the intricacies of the system many months after first playing it. Sure, it's hardly pretty and the chances are good you've never heard of it, but if you're hankering for a solid fighting game and don't have the wherewithal to import BlazBlue, you could do much worse than this". 7.5/10
