DESCRIPTION
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is a 2D fighting game by Arc System Works, the studio that created the distinctive Guilty Gear series. As the developer's first 2D fighter developed for high-definition systems, BlazBlue features fast, anime-inspired fighting action, which plays out over detailed, multilayered backgrounds, with flashy, sometimes psychedelic visual effects for special attacks and big hits. The fighting takes on a certain rhythm, as there is a split second pause after each hit, giving players who can catch on to the cadence a chance to use the brief freezes to time their next move or counterattack. The action is very fast, and without the stuttering pauses, few humans could hope to keep up. Each character has a special "drive" attack move, which is difficult to perform of but devastating if used correctly. The story of the game involves dissent and destruction among a powerful council, known unofficially as "the Library," which controls a great power that once saved humanity, but which now wields its power in protective, some say repressive, ways. The game's developer declared BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger to be the "spiritual successor" to the Guilty Gear series. Its roster of combatants is a rogue's gallery of weird, super-powered, emotionally complicated characters, including vampires and werewolves, and the beat-'em-up action plays out to an unrelenting precision-metal soundtrack by composer Daisuke Ishiwatari. ~ T.J.

“I don't play a lot of fighting games so I can't compare it with the other greats like Street Fighter or King of Fighters or even Guilty Gear (all of which I have heard a lot about but never really played). I decided to pick this up for a couple of good reasons. Firstly, it's got really good reviews (but so does Street Fighter 4 you might argue). Here's the thing though. I love Japanese anime and this game just oozes with "animeness". It also features a rich and intriguing back story, which was what really made me decide to pick it up. After playing it for some time now, it really does live up to my expectations. The game play is amazing, and every move, from the simplest to the most complicated is important. You won't find yourself button meshing but instead trying to maneuver your character tactically (executing beautiful combos along the way). It's a challenging game, but not scary for beginners, seriously. There's also plenty to do, so you won't get bored too fast. If you love fighting games, I'm not sure why you haven't gone and get it! If you don't play fighting games but love anime, you might want to try this game too. For the rest, if you just love great games, get this one.”

“It's been awhile since I've touched Blazblue (no of my friends will play against me). I figured today was the best day to see if I can do any of my usual combo's. And the results, I still got it. ...”
