One of the more surprising games on the console, BlazBlue is a 2D fighting game with beautiful Japanese anime graphics. As far as I can tell, it's a completely new IP with new characters and a story, unrelated to any TV show or movie. Visually the game is very impressive, the characters all look great and have a nice variety of moves. The story is also pretty interesting and as the first game in the series it is a great place to start. The gameplay is probably too complex to explain here and while playing the game I probably only scratched the surface of the various blocks, block cancels and combos which the game uses. In this regard, it's definitely got longevity, but it also felt quite easy to pick up and play. A very interesting and unique new IP on the 360, definitely worth a try.
