I really like how they made this game simple enough for any casual gamer to have a blast and yet with it's own bits of complexity to make it competitive among more hard core gamers.
If you like to gather a pack of friends and have a game where everyone can play and have a lot of fun, I highly recommend getting this game, it has a combo assistence mode where making combos and neat stuff is quite easy (that makes the game both easier, for you can make combos without much timing skills, and harder, cause so can your opponent).

Anyway, hearing c-c-c-c-combo breaker again and finishing with ultras and ultimates feels so damn good.
I really like the lobby system for multiplayer, for it makes it easier to organize a play with friends from different locations at any time.
Needless to say you should have a controller to take the most out of this game.

History mode is cool, nothing way thrilling or too exciting but well worth it, but, imho, the gem lies on shadow lords, I find it to be way too fun and all the guardians and itens give the game a whole new world of possibilities both in single player and multiplayer alike. Plus the quests in shadow lords are actually good!

I have seen some people talking about the impossible AI on some fights and yeah, it can indeed get quite tough at times, so it is needed to get good at combo breakers, counters, using your instinct, every thing with good timing, which brings it to a whole new level.

To sum up, if you are an old KI player, I am pretty sure you will find an awesome time playing this game, so don't waste any time (unless you are waiting for sales haha) on owning this title.
If you like fighting games, but are not quite sure if this is for you, well, you can get a demo version (very limited tho) on microsoft to test this out before buying.

This is my 2cents anyway.
