![]() ![]() There is a killer new theme tune, belted out by J-pop warbler Faylan. ![]() A stunning new anime intro, fashioned by the legendary studio Production I.G opens things up spectacularly, as you would expect from the same guys who crafted the popular Ghost In The Shell series. What can fans expect from this glorious chunk of Japan-o-centric kick-ass action?įrom the get go, there are some new presentation touches. It improves upon its predecessors in almost every way, delivering the most definitive BlazBlue experience to date. This was another corker, which I took a look at last year on the 3DS, where a superb game was sadly ruined by a dodgy control scheme.īlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend is the latest, and presumably final, revision to this chapter of the series. The Continuum Shift sequel upped the ante with a ton of extra modes, characters and improvements to the combat, and went on to receive a revision-stroke-sequel with Continuum Shift II. ![]() With a simple control scheme that married three standard attack buttons (A, B and C) to the Drive “D” button that carries out each character’s special attacks, BlazBlue was a breath of fresh air, with a roster of well-rounded fighters that even had – shock horror – genuinely interesting storylines. Next up, however, is the latest offering from the always-interesting Arc System Works, who have kicked off the new (ish) year with an enhanced version of their excellent BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, which promises their time honoured pile of gameplay modes, lots of new crazy storylines, some rebalancing AND a cool new character and all for a budget price.Įxploding onto the fight scene in 2008, Blazblue: Calamity Trigger was a stunning, bombastic opening salvo, the perfect way for Arc to follow their long-running Guilty Gear series and introduce a brand new franchise. With the benchmark set very high, 2012 promises to be even better, with a couple of corkers already on the shelves, and plenty more superlative action on the horizon from the likes of Capcom, Namco and Netherealm. We were utterly spoiled with a succession of high-quality releases, which I won’t bore you with again now, given that I waxed lyrical over most of them on these very pages. Available on: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita (Reviewed on Xbox 360)Ģ011 was certainly a fine vintage for one on one fighters. ![]()
