My Review - BLAZEBLUE

Being a fan of the Guilty Gear franchise, Arc system works has done an amazing job of creating a vast world where the term "bigger isnt always better" fits the shoe so nicely.

The game is in all terms an evoltuion of the franchise. stepping up to the ring in the face of a great many other fighting games, is the new stand alone game Blazblue. For years Arc System works made a name for themselves by creating the succesfull franchise that blends 2D image with 3D graphics.

Ftanding up to the plate, is probably the evolution of the franchise. Meet Blazblue...

This new franchise may not have as much appeal as the mainstream games like Streetfighter and Tekken. In all honesty, I never considered of buying it due to the stereotypical reason that it was unheard to me. But after playing it with a sandwich in my hand, I find myself deeply immersed into the game

Gaming mechanics are topnotched and are easy to pull off, Guilty Gear and other figthing game veterans will be able to feel the simple control design and combat the game with comfort and pacing. The moves are well polished to the point where even a begginer can instantly enjoy the game and get into the fight without worrying about the speed.

Of course it wouldnt be a game if it didnt have a good story. Well Blazblue, does not dissapoint. This well crafted game offers a multitude of storylines for every individual character that keeps the story fresh and enigmatic. Whether its in arcade mode or story, the fates off every character differs and leads to different outcomes, their journeys are expansive, and the story just keeps interesting.

The casting are filled to the brim with personality I could expect no less from Arc System Works. The casting shows a menagerie of individuals, that gives off a nostalgic origin for many who are familiar with the Guilty Gear characters. Fans of the Guilty Gear franchise will guarantee to love the characters of Blazblue as evolved counterparts of Guilty Gear

The track music and audio can only be described as awesome and easy on the ears. From the sloshing and slishing of a blob like insectoid creature, the biffing of punching and kicking, to the rocket like power pummeling bomber of the gigantic grappler.

So as Tech Jammer decrees,

Verdict-A

Pros-Beatiful artistic blend of 2 dimensional imaging blended with 3D artwork. Engaging storyline and character personality, power balance both flashy and quick adaptibility, Easy to use control system.

Cons-Not as well known as other mainstream games

Intro to Blazblue in honor of Arc System Works and all who put their efforts into this successful project.
