Worth playing?

[Pizza Time]

Is it worth playing this game or would I be better off just buying the later games? (probably just gonna play the story mode and maybe mess around a little)

It's worth playing especially if you want to know more about the secondary characters.

Otherwise, you might be better off starting directly with BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend, which contains BlazBlue Calamity Trigger Reconstruction (a recap of the whole BBCT plot and its True End), plus BBCS' story (which progression system is a little less convoluted than BBCT's), as well as tutorials, more game modes, new characters, and online multiplayer.

Edit : You could start with BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend, but I don't recommend it. While the gameplay, the roster, the game modes and the story are awesome, the short recaps of BBCT and BBCS included are more of a reminder rather than an actual summary, so you would probably not fully understand the story.

I have to agree with Red. The story of this game is worth getting if you want to know about the Blazblue universe (which is worth it) and want to enjoy the games. I honestly can't even picture myself of understanding the characters/story without playing this game first.
I would say go ahead, it's only about $2.
