BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - ZTGD Review

ZeroTolerance writes: This year is quickly becoming the year of the fighting game. I can't say we didn't call it last year, but when Street Fighter IV has already landed, and you have heavy hitters such as King of Fighters XII, Tekken 6, and of course Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 still to come; you know it is going to be a good year for the genre. BlazBlue further enforces this concept by delivering the spiritual successor to Arc System Works' Guilty Gear series, complete with over-the-top characters and a deep fighting system. This time around though the team has managed to make this entry much friendlier to newcomers alike, plus seeing the game explode on the screen in glorious HD is enough to force fans of 2D gaming into a coma. If you have any interest in the genre, then BlazBlue is definitely a must have. The sharp visuals and complex fighting system make this one of the most rewarding experiences you will play all year.

Damn, this game si getting great reviews...Might have to check it out.

Edit: it reminds me of guilty gear.

samura5411d ago

for instance the "Grab" command has changed to two buttons
(like Third Strike)instead of the broken one.

I have been playing this game for two days now, as JIN, I really love it. I miss Chipp from GGXX but I love this game.

The presentation is fabulous and the game play is fluid.

Sangria5411d ago

It's normal, the developers are Arcs System, which made Guilty Gear, and BlazBlue is some kind of spiritual sequel of GG (if i remember correctly, BlazBlue is in the same universe but not at the same time neither with the same characters).

Definitely a day one buy for me. There is no European release date so i'll have to check for a way to import it from US.

samura5411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

I imported the Asian version (code 3)

It has English text option and even English audio option(Jpn audio FTW).

no problems what so ever. It has already been released.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger PC Review | RGN

DJ Killzown Jones of RGN writes, "BlazBlue Calamity Trigger is still a solid fighter that PC fighting game fans should pick up . It is a bit of a disappointment that long load times of the games original release are still present and the games sequels aren’t offered as expansions/add on’s but these things alone should shy away games that haven’t played the game or others who are returning to the series."
