I downloaded the trial, didn't really like the 1200 point price tag but gave it a shot because Arc System Works was involved I wanted to check it out.
 
Then the intro played...
 
And it was amazing. It's everything right about anime. There are stupid costumes, explosions all over the place, a dude who is always smoking a cigar with a pompadour, samurai ninja ladies, people flying through the air, grabbing onto missiles and using them as transportation, ridiculously over-sized guns, eye-patches, and of course big ass mechs. Oh It also has some kick-ass rock music to go along with it. I think I covered all the bases. 
 
After watching this I went to the dashboard and gave Microsoft ~$22 so that I could buy this $15 game... stupid point system  :|
 
Now its time to actually play it!
 
EDIT: FFS two of the characters in the intro are DLC

I'll try downloading the demo later, but what do you mean about the point conversion?  PS: I see you play fighting games, and since today was my first day online with both BBCS and my new, first FightStick, I'll add your PSN in case I get MvC3, which hopefully will be soon. "

I didn't so much mind the additional two characters being DLC, particularly since my primary interest was solely in the odd samurai-girl and less so the pompadour'd greaser-dude. At an additional 200 points, plus the costs of the original game, I still came in under 20 dollars. Kind of janky, but considering the way playing Sayuri (samurai-girl) changes a lot of how to play, kind of worth it.
 
I mean, who hasn't wanted to meld Strider and Contra? Just me?

"That does pretty inciting. You have sold me good sir.  Now I just need to finish the first level. I have my doubts that that thing actually ends. For realz, it's got boss's for the mini boss's-mini boss's boss. "

The intro was alright but I'm not big on anime.  The actual gameplay didn't impress me as much as I thought it would either. 
I assumed they only gave you two characters for the demo, considering how much effort clearly went into the game, I can understand the 1,200 point price tag..  But making you pay more for characters that were actually in the intro is just a huge slap in the face.  That's really turned me off buying it, even when it's cheaper.

This game looks pretty awesome. My question is how hard is it? I would love to play co-op with my wife bit she would get frustrated if the game is impossible. What do you think? Could I play through this withy wife or should I get the Lara Croft game instead?

" @JCGamer: Why dont you get this and world of keflings, so whenever hard corps get too hard, you can take a break and build a few houses. "

"I feel like this game is a really weird choice to lead off a promotion because of how niche it is. "
