BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is an excellent fighter with a 'simple to play, hard to master' approach to gameplay, an intuitive lobby, a lengthy and fanservice heavy story mode, and a diverse roster of fighters. My main issue with the game is less with the game itself. The base game features 20 fighters, which is a bit on the small side for a tag fighter pulling from 4 franchises. The plus and negative to this is that another 20 are available in a $20 DLC pack. To make things worse, you can fight those characters in story mode and online, but you can't play as them. So they're less 'additional' and more 'gated'. I got this game with GCU on sale for $28 so it was more than worth it to buy it and the DLC, but it's not a very consumer friendly practice. It's an excellent game though, and probably the best 2D fighter on the system right now. More paid characters are promised and at least after you get over the hump of paying for the initial extra 20 that should've been in the base game, a buck per future character is very reasonable.
