    Theres nothing wrong with this DLC..........look at what namcos doing with their DLC.........I love the game and cant wait for this DLC to come out. Its 3 modes in one for 400 points.......People need to stop their bitching.....the game alone is worth the money and for just a cheap 400 points it gets even better.
