pay to play?

[MarioVet]

The Extra mode is more like playing Story Mode as your own character, the missions are based on the missions in storymode, rather than the missions in Network mode, so instead of getting the missions in sets of 3, C B and A respectively, you just get to play through set areas of Single Player.

Your character can use alot more equipment easier and earlier (You can use S Ranks straight away, if you can afford them). Levelling up is faster and also much easier. Basically it just plays like leveling up in Story Mode, except when you reach your desired level, there is no more story to actually play.

Hope that helps a little, I've played Extra Mode right through in Japanese, and alot of the 360 Beta, so I know my stuff

is it fun @_@?
