GamesRadar: BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Portable Review

Aside from beat-‘em-up staples like Arcade and Versus, there’s Legion Mode – a finger-fracturing slog through countless blade-wielding brutes who’ll join your cause if you defeat them, culminating in an arthritis-inducing 5-on-5 scrap. It’s a perfect complement to the original, decent portable combo practice for experts, and a perfect introduction to a top series for game-shy PSP owners.

awwww even as BB is my fav fighter, it just isn't enough new content for me to drop 40 bucks. maybe if they delayed makoto, platina and Valk for this game then i would have, but i will only be missing 1 new character and can just youtube the story while i play SCV.

make a true sequel and i will buy!

Redempteur4869d ago

Same here , having CT & CS i don't have enough in this one to buy it again ...

Snookies124869d ago

Hell yes! I was already going to get this, but they just made the deal so much sweeter! I was kind of sad trading in my Calamity Trigger after I got Continuum Shift, now I don't have to worry about it. XD

PS: Blazblue story is quite awesome.

Razongunz4869d ago

Blazblue Deciphered: History of the World

GameXplain Says: "The Blazblue series is not like most fighting games. Where Tekken, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat are all based around fighting tournaments in order to bring their menagerie of fighters together, Blazblue tells a wholly different story. It is a complex tale filled with many foreign terms and a web of interpersonal relationships between the fighters, there for those who want to become immersed in this crazy world. For the gamers who just want a solid fighting system and the ability to challenge other people online, Blazblue has that. There may not be as many characters as Super Street Fighter IV, but none of them play alike. Fighting enthusiasts can spend hours trying to master each one, but it's the story that gives Blazblue a truly unique flavor for many. Even during combat the dialog between characters gives a sense of relationships, story, and even past events. The original game had a tale that even casual fighters could get into though its labyrinthine natur...

I need this cuz the game made no sense to me

Kalowest5100d ago

The story in BB is not hard to follow.

Redempteur5100d ago

it isn't ..
but the world itself goes way over the casual fighter mecanics.

Kalowest5100d ago

The story in BB is awesome, and comical (kaka calls Litchi "Boobie Lady", and picks on Noel Vermillion for being flat-chested.)

Eternalb5100d ago

Looking forward to what they do with CS 2 on the 3DS.

The Art of BlazBlue

As a development studio, Arc System Works has long been known for its ability to vividly depict wild and imaginative characters on-screen. Be it in short animated sequences or in the middle of a dramatic round of combat, the art team at Arc Systems Works has always been ahead of the curve. The infamous Guilty Gear series set the scene for some of the most stunning 2D artwork the videogames industry has ever seen, and this year the BlazBlue franchise crashed onto videogames consoles in Europe, proving not only that 2D games still held a place on the current-generation hardware, but that they could shine just as brightly as any 3D attempts to recreate real-life.

Baka-akaB5232d ago

For some think related to a game with such gorgeous art , you really picked crap (worse fanart crap) for the headline pic

kevco335232d ago

It's not fanart! This image is included on the BlazBlue 2011 calendar!

Acquiescence5232d ago

Haha, nah just kidding.

Redempteur5232d ago

Boobs and blushing girls .. it was all to help this getting approved faster !!

kevco335232d ago

Baka-akaB5232d ago

i've read his post . Didnt notice when i only got the art featured in games (with still some ecchi stuff mind you) . besides it's quite ugly and generic compared to most of the art of the game

But that's not my second point in the second post . He could have easily pick anything else among Blazblue art beyond that . It's no wonder some reported , it's done for hits
