Product Description
In the 13th century hierarchical city, Kagutsuchi, the Librarium regulates the amazing power of "Armagus", a fusion of magic and technology. Currently they are after a wanted criminal named Ragna The Bloodedge, also known as "Death", who wants to destroy the Librarium. Due to Ragna possessing a powerful form of Armagus known as the Azure Grimoire, people far and wide are after not only his bounty, but his grimoire as well. This is where the story begins! This is a fighting game in which players control one of several 13th century characters from the City of Katugsuchi in one-on-one fight matches. Players punch, kick, and use special attacks against opponents until the other character's health meter is depleted. Each character has individualized special attacks, including sword swipes, gunfire, magic, and electrocution. This Limited Edition features a two-disc soundtrack with 48 tracks by Guilty Gear's Daisuke Ishiwatari, limited edition packaging, and a bonus video disc. Good while supplies last!

This game has amazing sprites and backgrounds. Characters are blanced and the action is intense and fast. Its different from Guilty Gear as a whole, but after some practice aspects of the game make it feel guilty gearish. The spirits of Sol and Ky and others really do do live on this new franchise. This game is newb friendly, but unfolds as you learn the tricks of the trade and develops into a complex fighter. This is a must own!!! Its a shame because this game will not be recognized by many gamers. I say try it out and support ARKS...if you own the PS3 version i'll be there :D I main Ragna and Rachael
Best Fighting Game.....Period. July 1, 2009

Get ready for the most technical, combo heavy fighting game in existence. But instead of playing online and wanting to throw your fist through your HD tv when you lose a match, this game will make you stare in awe at how awesome it is. No matter how many times I lost, I never got upset, and kept trying harder and harder to get better with my main character. Now on to the review.
Graphics - 10/10 - The best looking 2D fighter to ever grace the market, period. Everything is smooth and well rendered, and even the backgrounds and simple animations don't disappoint. You have to see this game in action at the highest resolution, period.
Sound - 10/10 - Both the English and Japanese dub are amazing, and the little quips that happen mid-fight between two of the story characters is also a nice little touch in immersion. Every sound in this game is amazing, and the soundtrack does not disappoint. If you've played any of the Guilty Gear series, then you know exactly what to expect with this game.
Control - 10/10 - Blisters. In a good way. I haven't enjoyed playing a game so much since SFA3, and the blisters were a welcome badge of honor. The controls for every character are smooth and responsive and really help to make you never feel cheated when inputing a chain, or combo.
Overrall - 10/10 - If you're a fighter fan, anime fan, or just love art, buy this game....now. Don't wait, don't think on it. Go down to Gamestop right now and pick this up, immediately, you will not be disappointed.
2D is still good. December 10, 2009

There are those who said that the automobile would make trains and horses obsolete. There are also people who said that 3D made 2D games obsolete.
Both groups were wrong, and in this game we have a prime example of just how wrong they are. Fighting games could be said to have both come a long way since street fighter 2, and not changed at all. The truth is that while the fundimentals have not changed, the level of refinement has risen to an art form. Guilty Gear proved the market (and has become the benchmark) for extremly deep 2D fighting games, but it has become so deep and involved that new players drown in the same depth that makes the series so good.
BlazBlue is by the same design team as Guilty Gear, and they took serius time and effort to bridge that gap between the vetrans and the new players. placing the non standard abilitys of charicters on a single button rather then complex imputs makes it easyer to learn and pull off truely impressive things. The use of one touch special moves (a limited selection that on most charicters are moves you will be using a lot) mapped to the right analog stick opens most of each charicters playbook to everyone. Of course, having a million tools does no good if you dont know how and when to use them, so a vetran still holds the edge, but the gap is not the unbridgable abyss that it was in Guilty Gear's more modern decendents. on top of this is the impressively done story that requires you to play though each charicter and the final ending to really understand, and is compelling enough to warrent the time and effort involved.
Visually, I hope you have a large high definition TV or monitor to play this on, because the artwork and animations are hand drawn frame by frame poetry. The backrounds are filled with life and small details, and even the simple still images used to fill most of the story mode events are clearly the work of skilled artists. The few peices of animated cutscenes are drawn in a style consistant with the game itself, and their sparing use was a wise move, because the ones that do occour hold that much more impact.
Guilty Gear is known for its music, most of it done by the same artist, and all of it top quality material. I bought the limited edition, which came with the soundtrack, saving me from having to buy that seprately (the music is that good.)

BlazBlue, the spiritual successor to Guilty Gear. Developed by Arc Systemworks, music composed by Daisuke Ishiwatari, original creator of Guilty Gear!
PROS:
Comes with two disc official sound track
DVD containing basic info on Bread and Butter Combos for all 12 characters
HD 2D animation is gorgeous! Can't say this enough, the 2D characters with a 3D background is eye candy. The animation for for Distortion Drives are well drawn. Online mode is superb. The netcode is quite impressive. It offers replays of top players with a rank of 1500 or higher for all characters to download and watch. Playing several hundred matches, even with lag, matches don't disconnect unless your ISP service just drops. Each room supports up to six players, so you can go vs. against several friends or co-workers.
CONS:
Small roster of characters, just 12
Even though the roster isn't that big, each character is unique with their own play style and Drive. No character is a clone of another which adds variety to the cast. I bought this Limited Edition a few months back, and never regretted it once. Best Fighter and new Fighter IP of 2009. Recommend this to anyone who loves 2D fighters or grew up playing them in the arcades.
Best Fighting Game Ever Made, Meow! June 20, 2010

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is the deepest, quickest, combo-heavy fighting game I have ever played. Each of the twelve characters play COMPLETELY different, and you really have to practice your characters' basics and combos to stand a chance online. The online portion of the game has the smoothest connection for a fighting game I have ever experienced. No lag here! The story mode is great, and getting 100% completion for each character is a challenge that will take you quite a while to complete. The gallery mode is comprised of around one hundred images of high def anime styled art that you unlock by completing various tasks in the other modes of BlazBlue. The limited edition comes with a Blu-ray of every characters' basic combos, and a soundtrack. You will want the soundtrack because BB has one of the best hard rocking/classical soundtracks ever committed to disc.
This is one of the most complete packages in gaming, and well worth your time if you're a fan of fighters, and it will keep you busy for as long as you want it to, as there are always new combos to discover, and other fighters to challenge you online.
