I remember back in the day when they were still showing commercials of this game. I was extremely excited to hear this game was coming out.
I am happy with the overall gameplay

This is one of the few fighting games that are based on weapons instead of hand to hand combat such as Tekken.

Includes a variety of characters and you start out with most of them.

Has a great storyline overall for each character with the exception of Link and Raphael.

They made the "special character" a bit to special.
Link...
They made it so he could use weapons you would normally find in every LoZ game. He gets to use bombs, bows and arrows, and other things. His bow is considered to be a special attack so it breaks through block which i found extremely cheap.

I loved the variety of game modes. the Extra game modes were impressive. It includes more than the default weapons but you have to buy them in a certain mode which seems like a story mode.
After seeing the extra modes I didn't even touch the normal modes.
