Only got a little time to play this last night after picking it up yesterday on the 360 (and playing it at a friend's house on his PS3 for an hour over the weekend) and I'm loving it. It just feels right and plays very, very well. I started on the story mode and while the story/dialogue is cheesy, I think it suits the game well. It doesn't take itself seriously, which I like. I only made it past Cage and Sonya's chapters, but I think the voice acting is pretty decent so far as well. Not the best I've ever heard, but passable.
I really like the story mode also since it actually gives you a full-fledged story and not just a story for whichever character you decided to select. There's no "this guy's story is the correct one" while everyone else's story is just there for something to strive for. Plus, the story mode here is helping me see and do everyone's moves, which is fun. I would normally just pick a couple of characters and never touch anyone else, but this is forcing me to use them in a fun way.
I did encounter a couple of issues. When I first loaded up the game, I tried going into the Krypt without doing anything else, just to look around. It completely locked up my 360, had to power it off and back on. Couldn't get the dashboard or anything. The second time I tried to access it, after I had earned some coins, it worked fine. I also ran into one part in the story mode where I thought it locked up after a fight, as it sat there for probably 10-15 seconds. Right when I was getting ready to try to bring up the in-game dashboard, it suddenly kicked back in gear and continued on its way. This was all with the game installed.
I'm not having any issues with the 360 d-pad either, I think it works very well. The game is very forgiving in its movements. Granted, this is a 6-month old controller that has seen little to no use on the d-pad, so maybe it's still "fresh" enough to be useful. We'll see how it goes as I wear it in a little more.
Overall, really glad I picked this up for $40.
