BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Review

Are your thumbs totally over Street Fighter IV? Are you looking to put your joystick to better use on new fertile ground? 

X-Play's Justin Fassino has a review of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger which brings the popular title to consoles for the first time:

"As a fighting game, it hits all the right buttons: the action is furious, with combos stringing well into the double digits. The character design has that unique Arc System Works flare, from the morphing demon Arakune to the Hellboy-ish Iron Tager. In fact, one of the strengths of BlazBlue is the differentiation between characters; the roster runs the gamut from sword-wielding anime hero to vampire princesses to ninjas."

    Got the limited edition yesterday. It's fast and furious. I'm loving the old school feel of the game.

    Game is a rip off of a rip off of a rip off. Returned my game the same day I bought it and am back to playing Street Fighter 4. If you are a GG hardcore fan this game is for you. I thought they were making the game different from the ground up? It should have been called Guilty Gear xxx.

    im always hesitant to buy a fighting game for $60. I love them, but is there really that much variety to justify spending full price? This is why I didnt buy SF4 and won't until its price comes down. Im not saying they are bad games by any means.

    But compare it to games like Killzone 2, Infamous, Gears 2, and Mario Galaxy...all have variety in gameplay and multiplayer...but button combos over and over 1 on 1 gets old after a while...and besides, the budgets for all fighting games are deadly cheap comparative to bigger titles

    I don't think the budget was cheap on street fighter 4 or Blaze Blue. My friends are rocking the game and it is starting to grow on me a little. I am still happy playing street fighter 4 and will continue to get worked at that game. I think there is a need for a company to go big and make a fighting game that has a huge story and great depth without overloading the game with 27 heath, blocking, super bars. There need s to be a mix with all fighting games and have a Mature street fighter game to hit the market. Some one will come along that will have the look and feel of a Capcom, crazy good graphics of blaze blue, and the blood and filth of MK. Then and only then will we have the perfect fighting game.
