Does anyone have the character artwork from the game? I'm looking for a Leviathan portrait.

Bought the game from the PSN the minute it was available; so worth it <3

1200 MSP. That's $15, as has been previously mentioned (it's really not that hard to convert between them). A little on the upper side, but well worth it.

Fifteen bucks for the game. The two DLC characters are 2.50 each I think.

What's the price in dollars, not MS points?

Trust me, it's an awesome game. Basically old-school Contra, but with BlazBlue's graphics.

I have played it and it is awesome. It's supposedly a prequel to Contra: Hard Corps for Sega Genesis. It's basically old-school Contra with anime-style graphics and some extra features. There's an Arcade mode which plays like regular Contra and is hard as hell. And then there's Rising Mode which gives you a health bar (like the Japanese version of Contra: Hard Corps) and the ability to level up your characters. Speaking of characters, you get two to start off with: Bahamut and Krystal. Bahamut should be familiar if you've played Contra: Hard Corps, where ironically enough he was the main villain. This could be a different character however. Krystal is a war orphan who fights on Bahamut's side against the Commonwealth, the main antagonists of the game. Two other characters are available via DLC: Harley Daniels and Sayuri. Sayuri is the most interesting of the two since, get this, she uses a sword. Swordplay in a Contra game, never thought I'd see the day. There are also other abilites like double-jumping, dashing (on the ground and in the air), and the ability to deflect enemy bullets, the last one I believe you have to obtain during Rising Mode play.

All-in-all this game retains the spirit of Contra while adding enough new elements to keep it fresh. The only bad thing I can gripe about is the long loading time between stages. Anyone who enjoys run-and-gun shooters but won't mind it being taken in a new direction should pick this up.

P.S. - I just realized I sound like a -your mother is a classy lady- video game reviewer.

I've been looking forward to this game, but I can't believe I didn't notice it was from ASW!

It's a Contra spinoff from ASW out on XBL right now (PSN next month). I'm surprised no one on this board is talking about it, given that it's an ASW game.
