danwarecritic reviewed BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger for the PlayStation 3...

...and gave it a 9.5!

BlazBlue is one of my first games, and I'm amazed by how well it was made. I espected a great experience, since it was made by Arc System Works, creators of the legendary Guilty Gear series, and I wasn't dissapointed. BlazBlue is an excellent game, and it's tough to name the #1 best part of it. You could go with it's fast-paced fighting system reminiscent of good ol' GG, it's colorful cast of characters, over-the-top fighting styles, or excellent storyline that can be played through any characters' perspective. The special moves and combos are really cool, and despite the relatively small cast of characters, it's a fun game that never grows old. There are a lot of fighting games out there with impossible final bosses and huge character rosters that can make it hard for some people to find their best fighter, so BlazBlue is the perfect starting point for newcomers home to the genre. -Dan
