  • After playing GG since the PS1, i found BB to be too slow in comparison to really enjoy. Seems like BB was made to pull in a demographic that isn't used to fighting games imo. 

  • @SuperQweertyuiop Dude! I thought i was the only one that felt the same way! It was just too slow for me to actually enjoy in my opinion. Just couldnt get into it.

  • @VeRsEcHiLd Yeah. I also found the backgrounds really distracting. They should have gone either all 2D or all 3D - A mix of the two is unique and all, but just doesn't work out well if you ask me.

  • Good review but dont take away points just because the game doesnt appeal to everyone.

  • just bought it and im kinda exited xD

  • One of the characters reminds me of that sad shadow guy from the movie Spirited Away

  • cool

  • Do they still sell it

  • I bought that game 2 years ago by accident cause I'm mostly into shooting games when I saw Noel in the cover and said calamity trigger I thought it was shooting game but it wasn't.

    Is a good game sux that there aren't many people playing it online.

  • @ERivera177

    You know, there is a new version out... Everyone is playing it o_o

  • I had heard about blazblue from some of my friends... but I don't know which game to get.

  • ...."Ah! It's the Booby Lady!!!"

  • KOF Xlll better then bb

  • @MissNekoChan182 This one old get the continuum shift extend.

  • I agree this is a good game but I have to be honest that IGN reviews are all over the board. A recent review of KOF XIII was given a 7 which I thought was unfair. After owning both this and that title and comparing them I would have to completely disagree with IGN's reviews for both. Two very much similar games should not score so drastically different. This game is an 8.5 in my opinion.

  • @JeanVlogg Both games were reviewed by different editors, and they have different opinions. That's how IGN works, but people don't seem to understand it.

  • @Sarrop39 I can understand different reviewers having different opinions of a game but there should at least be a benchmark. If you have such different ratings for similar games or even in some cases what could be termed the same game (I.E. see the IGN review for Continuum Shift) then what is a consumer to think? If your trusting these reviews to make an educated decision about a game purchase you may very well be quite disappointed.

  • @JeanVlogg That's true, but remember they are also different games. The thing both have in common is that they're fighting games, but other than that, they look nothing alike if you ask me.

  • Getting this game for christmas :) Looks really awesome and crazy ^-^ Looks just right for me as I absoloutly love anime and cool fighting games <333 Can't wait to play this !!

  • really nice game.. check on freegamemovieblogspotcom to download it

  • Noel win :>

  • anyone know why weak and medium attacks dont work on xbox controllers not broke and the buttons are mapped out correctly even when you change them weak and medium attacks still dont work.

  • Can't wait to play this. I'm sick of the cheapass street fighter kids that spam you into corners and play with their arcade sticks...

  • @darkbyke you and me both man :P

  • He says "BLAZE BLUE" It's clearly "BLAZ"

  • @WTFPS3RULZLOL its pronounced Blaze

  • Only 12 characters? Even SF2 had more than that...Please tell me there are more.

  • @GenocidalEdge nope there only 12 character get the blazblue continuum shift not camity trigger blazlue continuum shift everything better and it has 19 characters conitnuum shift either way not much people play both blazblue online because there old.

  • Arakune is No Face? lol 

  • Needs better graphic - Better graphic? The character itself is anime, but the background already does a good job. Dude, Guilty Gear is way better - Dude, every fighting games have their own fighting style. Lack of characters - They even released Relius Clover, geez. The AI is too easy - Well you can't compare Unlimit Ragna in Score Attack with I-No in the Guilty Gear Arcade final boss. Way too easy to chain combos - Isn't that a good thing? Storyline.. - Comparing to Tekken, this is better.
  • i will play this game but to much anime just no

    they should release west version without that anime bullshit

  • @TheYosh96 It's developed in Japanese game company, so anime style is pretty much natural in those.

  • @TheYosh96 Cry some more faggot.

  • disturbing liquid insect dude is from spirited away, by miazaki watch it and see. hes is the gold giver "greed"

  • @trickykid3000

    nnn.....uunnnnnnn

  • @trickykid3000

    Disturbing Liquid Insect Guy is from Japanese Mythology :X

  • I got bored the other day so I threw the original BB onto my 360's HD.

    It's cool enough, but it feels too much like a hacked Guilty Gear that someone way too into anime put together.

    I like the story mode....................hate just about every single last one of the characters. Still, the fighting is good.

  • Just got this game and i love it :D

  • the new got like 19 or 20 character in the game

  • Still think guilty gear is better

  • i love this game

  • @flurryous2 That does suck. We can make the excuse that the Wii does a terrible job at 3D graphics compared to the PS3 and 360, hence, no SF4, SC4, or Tekken 6. But any system can do 2D graphics, so why the fuck not have a BlazBlue on Wii?

    Then again, Wii + Nunchuk = Shit. Notice how they never use the Classic Controller for fighting games since it doesn't come with the Wii, yet, the CC does a better job then the Wiimote + Nunchck!

  • @YTPW149X For that matter I think it does a better job than a PS3 or 360 controller, imo. I prefer the original wii classic controllers SNES style lay out.

  • @largebiscuits nope.avi

  • Disturbing liquid shadow insect dude... couldn't have but ti better myself

  • I suck at this game. 8U

    Just got it for my psp.

  • @XTBRfilms thank you for the reply!

    I didn't knew.

  • wtf limited appeal means in this?

  • @XTBRfilms Seriously?

    I was thinking about buying this...no people playing online?

  • I can't find this fucking game in my local area!!!!

  • I saw that the PSN was discounting this game and wanted to see what it was about, looks good

  • @XTBRfilms I can't, continuum shift costs too much.

  • Does anyone still play this online? I'm getting this for PS3.

  • Hey they do always use the same guy :D IGN you are the best~

  • IGN hustles for the populous vote alwayz!!!

  • Should i get this, CS or CS2 for 3DS

  • @ScReWaTtAcKeD 3DS version has no network mode.

  • @ZachAttack73 I found out that they're making another CS for Vita, ps3 and 360, possibly 3DS so if that version has network, I will get that

  • "Hey boobie lady! I came to visit!"

  • @BokuwaRagna Taokaka owns jajaja ^_^

  • this isnt hardcore lmfao you can pull of an 80 hit in the first 15 minutes

  • Not bad not bad I think I might check this game out, see for myself how it plays.

  • Comment removed

  • If only this game could be in 3D... like tekken 6 games.

  • The graphics look fantastic but the gameplay in thsi review looks really slow. Probably different when you are playing though.

  • Can this game be found for Wii if not what are all the systems you can play this on :P

  • @NightmareSpriter The game is availabe on PS3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, PSP, Arcade and Nintendo 3DS.

  • @TheNaughtyChap Thanx! Nintendo works Perfect for me :D

  • tHIS GAME IS THE BEST, IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND NICE! i LIKE VERY MUCH THIS GAME!

  • 0:00

  • This a great game but they gave it a higher than ssf4, mk9, and mvc3. Bow I know for a fact ssf4 and mk9 are better games but blazblue is about equal to mvc3.

  • @IcecoldSaiyan88 What should i get Blaze blu or MvC3? i have ssf4 3D and i like that and it got me into these kind of fighting games.

  • @saberdragon527 My bad. what I mean is that calamity trigger score was higher that continuum shift when It's better.

    Sorry english is not my first language

    

  • Comment removed

  • I still don't unberstand why Continuun Shift have a low score

  • I was looking to get one of the BlazBlue games but idk which one to get because i never tracked which game came out first any recommendations?

  • @Crypticstorm13 Only get BB Calamity trigger if you really want to know the story otherwise get BB Continuum Shift since CT is obsolete.

  • @Reikinou Alright sweet thank you very much for the information :D

  • how do u get the training achievement on this game?

  • Watching this now, now that CS2 is out.

    It makes me nostalgic for the CT.

  • @mybrawling

    same.. ct is better imo

  • 0:32 Pika?

  • Taokaka, Makoto, and Litchi.

    In the words of Borat, "wa wa wee wa."

    I appreciate the ability of the Japanese to tell a story well, but with regard to this game, I'm not as big of a fan of fighting games as I was in the early 90s during the Street Fighter era. And the negative mark this game received in lasting appeal just diminishes what ever interest I had in it.

  • @DarkReapersGrim "limited appeal" as in "People who don't like anime may night like this just because it's anime"

  • how you do special atack this game?

  • @TrueGhost100 Ok. Pick up the controller, place your left thumb on the main analogue stick then place your other thumb on the four buttons on your controller while resting each finger at the back buttons. Ok, once you know how to hold your controller correctly you then press the on button on your console and place your disk inside it, place the disk with the pictures and writting facing outward. Once you've done this select the campaign/story option. Chosoe a character- Ok, now how to special y-

  • I buy this game for curiosity and now im addicted

  • i played this game for about 2 hours...i then wanted nothing more than to set a puppy on fire, that's how brain shatteringly stupid this game is

  • @TheArtisticDummie Guess your not a fighting fan. Because this is really good fighting game. Just as good as Guilty Gear.

  • BlazBlue Is awesome

  • shame it has a good story but it doesnt execute it well....

  • wow... ign gave a good score that's not a cod game...

  • Funny i was trying all the different characters and i was horrible at everyone so i figured why not try the females? i picked up noel and started face rolling for over 20 matches and i didnt lose once.

  • Why did the game get marked down just because the reviewer thought other people "wouldn't like it", that's fucking retarded.

    That would be like marking down Starcraft 2 just because some people don't like RTS games.

  • NOEL FTW!!!!!!!!!!!

  • will be a new blazblue for ps3?

  • I dont think i could disagree with the review more..The fighting feals like the devs never even tested it before the launched the game. The use of buttons feals so foriegn compared to every fightiong game ive ever seen and trust me I've played many. The moves hardly ever work and even when the meter or whatever their calling it here(tagama?) dowent seem to work half the time. and the way you assign buttons is a total joke. These mistekes are so run of the mill it they shouldnt happen these days.

  • @killrathy it's jusst different, i have SSF4:AE, Mortal Kombat, tekken 6, McV 3 etc and Blazblue, and this one is def different from the rest !

  • @shoshenkis Yeah I've played a great many fighting games and this one feals more like samuri showdown that anything. I finnaly got the button cofig straightened out and its not as bad as my anisial opinion was, still very different.

  • @killrathy EXACTLY, I was a great fan of Samurai Showdown (and a terror in arcades), I guess thats why I love this game. That and I'm a finished geek teehee ^^

    Btw how did you change the button config ? Oh and add me on PSN (King_Squelch), I'm a newbie as well ;P

  • @shoshenkis Sorry PC<<<

  • @killrathy pc !?!?! this game is on PC !?!?! Am I going insane or what !? :D

  • @killrathy ooh I just noticed that I have the second one, CS not CT

  • Boobie lady?

  • @Proactive9898 ; nickname Taokaka gives to Litchi~

  • Can someone please let me know which of the 2 blazeblus came out for xbox 360 first. Thanks.

  • @PlumOrchid Calamity trigger came out first, but Continuum Shift (the second one) is far more balanced in my opinion (plus slightly better character models)

  • @IchibanKorean Thanks a bunch!  Il'l be sure to pick it up.

  • It would have been nice if it was mentioned for which sysytem(s) this game is available for... PC, PS3, Xbox? All??

  • @neuspeed79 All. Including PSP. No DS or Wii, but its sequel is only on 360 and PS3, and the sequel to that is only on PSP and 3DS.

  • @popo237 gonna look for the PC version of it..

  • only 12 charictars that just put me off from buying the game. even tough this game 2 things that i love in 1. anime and fighting games

  • @acdnan the second blazblue has 18 characters and whats the point of having 30 something characters if your not gonna even play with everyone

  • This REVIEW MADE ME CUM!!!!

  • is this a real series i meen cus of the anime it seems like its an actual series

  • CT announcer for CS DLC. Now please.

  • HE'S LIKE NO FACE!!!

  • This game is AMAZING !

  • Hey that was tagers theme in the bacground

  • Comment removed

  • good review, but game looks shit.

  • @jk2008jk graphics doesn't tell everything about the game, it's how the game is developed and how the game plays.

  • İt's a little too "flashy" for me, but that's not a necessarily bad thing. İ really like the characters and the overall style. It is pretty fun as far as i've played it. It has really unique features; like you can hit a downed opponent which i've never seen in any other 2D fighter before.

  • @NegStarnite93 the game totally sux the only cool thing is the voice of the japanese speaker who did the machine gun girl

  • the graphics sucks the other 2d fighting games have much better graphics... 9.4 total bull....

  • @IBOUGHTYAMOM What other 2d fighters might you be talking about?

  • @madogg99 art of fighting, fatal fury.. damn even street fighter 2.... see what i mean.. is how they move theor arms and legs... it just doesnt fit and looks cheap and generic in calamity trigger

  • @IBOUGHTYAMOM KoF has worse graphics than Blazblue and As well Art of fighting. I don't where you're getting this from

  • Hurry up and make Guilty Gear Vs BlazBlue

  • Hehehehe really cool game, but I still like KoF More... Anyway love this one too...

  • All I hear in this game is COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER.

  • @gathimest Just like in MVC3 when facing Magneto DISRUPTOR DISRUPTOR DISRUPTOR DISRUPTORx1000

  • Em....is Calamity Trigger for PSP?

  • @SeHaryu yeah it is but it's nowhere near as good, BlazBlue is my favourite fighting game this generation but if it were PSP exclusive it'd be my most hated game. The PSP version is just really really bad.

  • =.= this is the 21 century be more inovative and lil more imagination

  • @mikser6666 tell that to black ops dumbass

  • @mikser6666 i can say that black ops is realy well made i even pirated it and enjoy it in mp realy amusing

  • BEASTLY!

  • bought it today  :D

  • i got this game for about £10 which is about $20 in the us and i love it, i prefer this to street fighter

  • i just bought this game and i loved it execpt a small thing the most retarded story mode ever becasuse just playing would be ridicoulus so i checked the walkthru

    it basicly tells me win this fight lose that one load win that one win that one and lose and load wtf?

  • Notice Gamers that he said at 00:19 BlazeBlue: Calamity Trigger is

    MY DREAM GAME, IT WAS CLEARLY DESIGN JUST FOR ME.

    It seems like its obvious now that if IGN guys there love the game it gets

    always 8 or 9 if the games are not their "Dream Game" they get 4, 5, 6 or 7.

    I never believe Ign reviews even that this is a Good Game.

    We all have to go just for our taste.

    Nough Said...

  • @StopForChildren wow thats so true

  • @vics323 Yeah i know, thumb up my last comment so everyone can see it and remember we all have different taste when a game comes out, if you like that game when it comes out. play it, enjoy it, no matter what.

    Its absurd to put a score to a game. Ign and a few others that review will say if its good or bad depending on how much $ they get from the Developers.

    I recomend Classic Game Room Reviews Amigo they are totally Neutral when it comes to review games.

    Its you who has the last word..

  • @StopForChildren ok but then why the fuck are u here -.-'

  • @theswedishdude1 Im here to see reviews of the games and like to see videos, but since Ign reviews are always telling you wath to play, rent or buy i rather watch more open mind reviews, this is a great game after all.

  • @StopForChildren why is everybody talking about ign's reviews. all they do is show us some gameplay, what was wrong with the game, and THERE OPINION ON THE GAME, if you cant stand somebody elses OPINION of a game then you shouldnt be watching there reviews

  • @Darkfang2u2 I do stand and respect every opinions, but im not the only one who agrees that Ign needs to be more open mind, and i am sure that most gamers may like a game wich IGN says its a waste of time.

    IGN they show gameplay but they also score a game good if they only like it or not wich is absurd cause all of us have different taste in videogames. I recomend Classic Game Room Reviews they are totally neutral.

  • @StopForChildren I don't understand your point. A review is someone's opinion on the game. I disagree with ign reviews a lot, but they didn't even give this game a bad score. While ign may give low scores to a lot of games that i love, i don't think it's right to get on their case cause someone called a game their dream game. But you are correct, if they like a game they give it a high score, if they don't they give it a low score, that's kinda how it works. Thank you for stating the obvious.

  • @clayw212 Yourwelcome, but sometimes " the obvious " is not that obvious for some.

    Great Gaming Days for you.

  • @clayw212 Well, that's how bad reviews are done. A review is first and foremost a non-biased overview of the games aesthetics, sound and all that jazz, the secondary part is the opinion, but it shouldn't really affect the score so much they'd give it a 3 or so. If the games well made in every aspect, but the player hates it and gives it a 2, does that make it right for them to give it that score? By doing that you're hurting the games sales dramatically.

  • @StopForChildren See. You people always come up with some way of poorly criticizing IGN for no good reason. You people are pathetic. He obviously didn't mean it and your comment doesn't make sense. It only got thumbs up because people like to troll IGN as the dumbasses they are.

  • @theguyyouate6 your an asshole

  • @theguyyouate6 Think about it, not just a " few " think IGN need to be more neutral when reviewing a game.

    I havent read complains about other Company Reviews and If been pathethic means to play what I LIKE and not what IGN tolds me to play then IM PATHETIC. Just play Videogames and be happy, dont take it too seriously.

  • @StopForChildren

    IGN:hey lets pick someone to review blazblue, shall we pick jimmy, the guy that loves fighting games, or brad, the guy that only ever plays wii tennis?

    brad:this game sucks ballz, its not wii tennis!!!!!

    jimmy:this is a great fighting game, and anyone else that likes these sorts of games should find it great

    which is more biased jack ass?

  • @StopForChildren or they try to be objective and judge the game based on all its flaws and all its triumphs and not just the fact that they love it

  • @trousersnake91 IGN objective? They complained about Alice Madness and Hunted the Demons Forge Glitches and for that they have both less than 6.5.

    Demon souls and Uncharted have similar glitches and both have more than 9.

    Im not comparing games, but common, Ign should be equal in scoring. Blazeblue is Good but it gets boring for just having a Few fighters to choose, why Ign didnt mention it?. Simple, cause or they really love the gamet or they get good $ from the developer.

  • @StopForChildren maybe "totally" objective is inaccurate. but your case is comparing 2 average games that got average scores to good games with good scores. in the alice and hunted cases, glitches are an example of the problems where in uncharted theyre hinderances to an otherwise good experience

  • @trousersnake91 You know what i ment, and i was giving an example, there are a lot of games that are rate bad by Ign for obvious issues but some games have similar problems, but they dont point the finger that much when they like the game and are rate Good (mostly shooters) im not the only guy that thinks Ign reviews are unequal, and i bet most of us love a game wich Ign considers its a Rent or waste of time game.

    My opinion is to play what you like and go by your taste.

  • @StopForChildren Clearly your mommy didn't let you get this game ^^

  • @1nf1n1ty777 Actually my Dad gift me this game, read First i said its a " Good Game ", im just tired of IGN

    telling me what to play or not.

  • @StopForChildren In a sense that is true but I will have to say despite the bias on IGN's behalf that this is actuallly a very fun and entertaining game.

  • @TheBoredomOtaku Yeah this is a Good Game, but this is the problem with IGN:

    If they like the game (mostly shooters) they talk good and bad aspects and rate fair.

    But if they dont like the game they point the finger more on the mistakes or glitches the game might have.

    A good example is this 2 recent titles: HUNTED THE DEMONS FORGE AND ALICE MADNESS RETURNS.

    Both are rated less that 6.5. just cause they have similar glitches just as DEMONS SOULS wich is a great game.

    You get it?.

  • @StopForChildren I understand what you mean, I am currently playing Alice Madness Returns and I have to say the game is great. The problem with IGN is they don't rate games on the experience you get playing them like being a part of the games world and feell like you connect with it's characters when the character goes through hardships. They point out glitches often just with texture that under a certain light looks odd etc but most players don't notice or care about those.

  • @TheBoredomOtaku Glad you understand, get Hunted and play it with a Friend, its great if you try the Hard Difficulty, its definetly not short that way, they say it has Gears of war cover system, but actually a game called Rogue Trooper (Ps2, Pc) started that cover system in a videogame it came like 4 months before Gears, but because it didnt have that Marketing Impact most gamers dont know, i own it and its same as Gears except its T not M.

    Anyway enjoy your Favorite Games no matter what.

  • @TheBoredomOtaku perfect way to put it. :)

  • the roster seems awefully small, but im defo gonna pick it up since its probably pretty cheap now

  • They should make Sol Badguy a DLC char :3

  • 1:35 it says

    Hey boobie lady, i came to visit lmfao..

  • @NegStarnite93 I give it 11/10!

  • There is nothing i don't agree about on this review.

  • I can't help but think this game would be better as a rpg...thou I do love it! ^^ Want the next one now D:<
