Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Better than the mobile version, I can tell ya that; as Texas Jack from "The Great Race" once said, "Now I got me LOTS of fightin' room!", as wide screen's SO much better than trying to fight in such a tight screen space, especially when it comes to certain boss characters.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Speaking of extra purchases, another thing that needs to be fixed; we don't get Trading Cards that are automatically acquired during gameplay time (and I've been playing over 24 hours as of this review's initial posting).
