This is basically Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare... except better in every way. They did not really do much new or innovative - if you were into that game then you won't see too many changes. Still, every detail of the first Modern Warfare has been upgraded a little (more perk options, more weapon-mod options, choices of kill-streak bonuses, co-op play is new and awesome... etc!).

The fighting part of the game is solid. Probably better than solid: its classic Tekken with lots and lots of subtle detail, moves, and fighters to choose from. They didn't reinvent the wheel but if you like the other Tekkens you will like this.
That said, unlocking costumes and endings can only be done by wasting time on a terrible story mode. It is much worse than say, Double Dragon on the NES. Also, upon release the netcode makes online play almost impossible. It really does lag horribly over 50% of the time. 5/5 bars for connection is no more or less likely to lag than 1/5 bars. They say a patch is coming out but I would look up what folks say about the patch before I bought into the idea of online being fixed.
What's great about it: All the characters and moves you love, and then some.
What's not so great: HORRIBLE lag online, the story mode is truely terrible.
