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.)

I must admit I am not a big fighting game fan so I have still to appreciate the depth of this game although even I can tell how the counters and cancels will be helpful once I get used to thinking and pressing faster. I usually buy only one fighting game for whatever console(s)I own (to play with friends) and usually do not buy them at full retail price but when I saw this game in action and saw the limited edition I had to get it and I am not disappointed. Even for a fighting amateur like me it is fun although I am not going to win the latter matches before some more practice. The only thing is I wished the cutscenes were fully animated, I get the way they are done but with such a gorgeous animation for everything it seems like lost potential bliss. Just get this game, the designs, sound, additional content and animation are all on par of the great gameplay
A Line Drawn July 1, 2009

In various previews, honestly, BlazBlue came a bit too strong for me. High-paced fighting accompanied by flashy, in the word's truest sense, super moves only seemed... again, honestly, pretentious. After I thought I'd just burned off $65 on a mediocre, new (for me) fighting IP, I was only to be simply amazed at this astounding video game.
BlazBlue features 12 characters. 12 very different, clearly distinct stylish guys and gals and others. They are not like characters from the King of Fighters, all with different moves stemming out of same semi-/quarter- circle + punch/kick commands. To get to know, to be able to play with a character means that you have invested in a fair amount of time. Doing so is necessary for not only playing against other players online but against CPUs in Versus or Arcade Mode.
BlazBlue's initial release package (the Limited Edition), along with the game, includes a bonus Blu-Ray disc and two whole discs of soundtracks. Please, if you're able to appreciate video game music and are going to get this game, don't wait until Standard Editions replace the Limited ones on the store shelf and get it now because as good as the game is, those two discs of soundtracks are a legitimate music album themselves. You want a fighting game music to be on a orchestral, up-class, and royal atmosphere (contrary to SF or KOF or any other conventional fighters before), this is as good as it gets.
Even if you didn't care much for each character's unique move-sets or even the accompanying soundtracks, I want to believe that you, at least, care for what you see. I just cannot say enough for its fantastic visuals - colors are full, animations well-executed, effects notably placed. Cel-shading has never been presented at a better level and until the end of the ps3/360 cycle, it is not going to be outdone.
I want to end this short right about at this point, but I have to applaud the U.S. localization team. Well, sure the translations were smooth, but the voice actors and actresses. Watching dubbed animes these days, I guessed the U.S. performers just lost their fire or whatever, but boy was I surprised. From the objective point of view, it is definitely on par with the Japanese dub. I was pleased to be able to enjoy the game without having to toggle the sound to the original recording. Kudos.
BlazBlue is a bar-setting, near-perfect fighter that is, as complicated as it is, even beginner-friendly with its "Easy Specials" utilizing R3 on the ps3 controller. Original SF or KOF fans might feel a little uncomfortable at the characters' slightly different ranges of motion per press, but with time, that's bound to fade.
Actually, if you've been ready (for a long time) to embrace a deep, profound fighter with class and originality, BlazBlue would be the perfect game.
