Well, where to start...
Graphics: reasonable 3D, though they seemed like slightly lower polygon counts than we're used to seeing in most games these days (or, at least, it seemed that way while I was playing). The hit effects are nice, the bacgrounds are, well, kind of ordinary but have appeal all at once and the characters themselves have nice designs overall.
Sound: A little hard to hear the music since it was at an arcade in Austin (Le Fun) where everything was turned on AND it was within earshot of the street outside. The sounds were fairly average beat 'em up sounds, though not necessarily a bad thing. Can't really judge much on this aspect, though.
gameplay: The most important part for last. I enjoyed it, as I usually enjoy beat 'em ups an awful lot more than most people do, but it was certainly different while not straying from the formula. It had combos like in Final Fight 3 and Sengoku 3, but they weren't totally obnoxious and I didn't come across anything totally abusable leading to infinites (like in Sengoku 3 just dash attack and juggle or Lucia and Guy's infinites in FF3). The button layout was your normal attack/jump/special layout and worked well like it should.
It works like every other BEU, at heart: you go around beating the crap out of enemies until you reach the boss, then either tear him up or get your ass handed to you on a platinum platter (since silver just isn't good enough). Once you've built enough of your special guage you get to hit all three buttons and activate your Demolish Fist which lets you run around the screen for a few seconds instantly beating the tar out of enemies as you jam the buttons for more hits. It's like your character goes insane and just destroys everyone around. IIRC you only have a certain amount of time to activate it before the chance is lost, so just hold out until the last second and then wail on them.
The game seemed plenty difficult, if just a tad harder than average. I only got to the second stage on my first try, so it's not easy (for reference, I can usually get to the 3rd or 4th stage on Sengoku 3 on my first credit, so long as I'm not going for really high combos. Yes, arcade.) but not too hard.
Overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit. The only reason I didn't play more was because we were pressed for time and I didn't want to be playing a game when we had to leave.

Our Time Out has this game! I play it most every weekend, and like it a lot. I usually use Vanessa. I was wondering if anyone else had played it.
