I'm having a lot of fun with it, although it does take an annoying long time to start unlocking things in the multiplayer through multiplayer. (Every level takes 500k XP, which is about how much you can make in one match if you utterly dominate, but 100-280k is more average. There are 50 levels, but your first unlock is at level 22. Then there are others at 24, 26, 32, etc. I don't know why it's like that, but there it is).
Story mode is a bit short. White Side follows Leo, a heavily teched out Cyborg who is your generic white knight. Black Side follows Jack, the guy with a rusty ol' chainsaw for an arm. Red Side follows whoever you picked first; meaning you have to play through the entire game twice to 'finish' it, although it's technically 4 times. Getting 100 kills in 'Street Brawl' on each stage for each 'Side' unlocks an ability in multiplayer that can't be gotten any other way. Beating Red Side - White Side and Red Side - Black Side unlocks a secret character for multiplayer, although he is unlocked just by getting level 22 in multiplayer as well.
As for the multiplayer...I'll copy/paste something I said earlier.

I'm having fun on the PS3 version. My favorite character to play so far is Fei Rin with Big Bull as a close second, although I have yet to unlock Bayonetta (Code isn't working yet), Rin Rin, and that one ninja samurai dude.
Just wish that Fei didn't have such...extensive jiggle physics. Sasha I was kind of okay with since it's obvious she has no support, but come on! Fei shouldn't jiggle like that from such minor movements even if she were nude. And her Strong Killer Weapon attack is just a liiiittle oversexualized.
Multiplayer is insane though. Everything starts normal enough...and then suddenly Mecha-Cthulhu flies out of nowhere and starts shooting lasers everywhere while the stage is flooded with cyborg ninjas and then a submarine appears and starts covering the stage in rocket fire while a Kraken is attacking...all during a 16-man free for all match.
I've unlocked all the characters since this post though, and I've gotten really ridiculously good with Gargoyle. The last game I played had most of the enemy team yelling "The other team is easy mode...EXCEPT FOR THE FUCKING ROBOT." "IT'S THE ROBOT. JESUS, SOMEONE HELP ME."
Not sure why I'm good with him though, since he's actually pretty low-tier as far as power goes. The Rin sisters are the really strong ones.
The music is mostly rap. Although I normally
despise rap, I love the music for this game. I play it occasionally just to hear the music.
Anywho! I'd say it's pretty solid for a $30 game.
