my daughter and i enjoy playing this game and its counterpart. great fun it lacks some of the moves available in the other game, but that may be because i haven't played it enough to figure out the button combinations.

BBCS is akin to Super Street Fighter 4 - an iterative evolution on a solid game that adds some much needed tweaks and polish. For newcomers to the series, this is an excellent place to start - the character roster, while not large as many games, exhibits a breadth and depth seldom seem; Each...

Diverse Character Roster Gorgeous 2D Art Surprisingly in depth story mode

Not that much new content if you own BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Character Roster is 'small

Continuum Shift adds a whole lot of new things to the series, but I'll start with the three brand new playable characters: Hazama, Tsubaki, & Mu-12. Hazama and Tsubaki are available to be played as from the start; Mu-12 however must be unlocked through the story mode.

This game left me blowed away after i finished the story of the original BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, i had to go and pick this one up. There mostly good changes but there are some disappointing ones.

A decent fighter with some truly unique and funny characters. Great visuals, good sounds, REALLY cheezy voice acting, but I think it's just weird writing and not the voice actors. Fighting mechanic is solid and work very well.

This game is awesome with non stop heart-attack combo duel. And I love how every character have their own style and completely different way to play. This game system also have a lot of small details that make it better game. Five stars rating for me.

Incredible depth; extensive tutorial; fluid fighting system; varied character gallery

May be too complex for beginners; weird graphical mix

After some delay, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift is finally heading to UK stores. For fans of the previous Arc System Works games the wait has been long and hard, but I'm not really sure this release is aimed at them.

Arc System Works, a name that isn't firmly in the minds of the majority of the gaming community. But that is so wrong, because Arc System Works are responsible for Guilty Gear and Blazblue, two very unique and arguably best 2D fighting games to ever grace the genre.

BlazBlue Continuum Shift is a top notch game that will appeal to die hard beat ‘em up fans, but shouldn't be overlooked by more casual gamers, who, if they give the game a chance, will find an extremely deep beat ‘em up experience that also has pick up and play value that – ideal for those after pub...
