Aaron indulges in an anime battle fest as he reviews one-on-one scrapper, BlazBlue on Xbox 360…
The multiplayer features the usual Vs mode on the same console and full online support, with ranked matches.
The story ofBlazBlueis, for this reviewer, a little poor.
The game centres around the main protagonist, Ragna the Bloodedge, also called the Grim Reaper.
Whats the point of calling it skip, then?!
Its a true crucible of skill, and really opens up the one-on-one mechanic.
This character is truly ridiculous, and requires almost no skill to use.
This is a character seemingly designed from the ground up for button mashers.
The main problems with this imbalance are demonstrated when playing online.
Its inevitable, unless youre a truly hardened veteran of the genre.
Fighting games are all about balance, and its a sin to upset this.
Everything else about the game is well delivered, and the depth of the gameplay is truly impressive.
This is a game thatll have you learning new tactics and uncovering new tricks for months to come.
Is it better thanStreet Fighter IV?
BlazBlue: Calamity Triggeris out now andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store.
