This game was so incredibly down my alley. I was already excited for it beforehand, but it ended up having the right mix of complexity and ease of play that felt perfectly at home for a new beat 'em up paying homage to the Konami titles. In fact, there's a good chance this tops the two arcade titles for me.

My only issue is that for all the excitement I had for 6 player co-op, it's rather unplayable. It's not only incredibly tough to play with a solid connection online, but even if you have that (or play local) expect the chaos to be incredibly hard to follow properly. I can only hope something similar to SoR4's Mr. X Nightmare mode comes to this, as it's such a lavish title and experience.
