Product Description
In the 13th century hierarchical city, Kagutsuchi, the Librarium regulates the amazing power of "Armagus", a fusion of magic and technology. Currently they are after a wanted criminal named Ragna The Bloodedge, also known as "Death", who wants to destroy the Librarium. Due to Ragna possessing a powerful form of Armagus known as the Azure Grimoire, people far and wide are after not only his bounty, but his grimoire as well. This is where the story begins! This is a fighting game in which players control one of several 13th century characters from the City of Katugsuchi in one-on-one fight matches. Players punch, kick, and use special attacks against opponents until the other character's health meter is depleted. Each character has individualized special attacks, including sword swipes, gunfire, magic, and electrocution. This Limited Edition features a two-disc soundtrack with 48 tracks by Guilty Gear's Daisuke Ishiwatari, limited edition packaging, and a bonus video disc. Good while supplies last!

Definitely worth every penny January 23, 2010

BlazBlue, the spiritual successor to Guilty Gear. Developed by Arc Systemworks, music composed by Daisuke Ishiwatari, original creator of Guilty Gear!
PROS:
Comes with two disc official sound track
DVD containing basic info on Bread and Butter Combos for all 12 characters
HD 2D animation is gorgeous! Can't say this enough, the 2D characters with a 3D background is eye candy. The animation for for Distortion Drives are well drawn. Online mode is superb. The netcode is quite impressive. It offers replays of top players with a rank of 1500 or higher for all characters to download and watch. Playing several hundred matches, even with lag, matches don't disconnect unless your ISP service just drops. Each room supports up to six players, so you can go vs. against several friends or co-workers.
CONS:
Small roster of characters, just 12
Even though the roster isn't that big, each character is unique with their own play style and Drive. No character is a clone of another which adds variety to the cast. I bought this Limited Edition a few months back, and never regretted it once. Best Fighter and new Fighter IP of 2009. Recommend this to anyone who loves 2D fighters or grew up playing them in the arcades.
2D is still good. December 10, 2009

There are those who said that the automobile would make trains and horses obsolete. There are also people who said that 3D made 2D games obsolete.
Both groups were wrong, and in this game we have a prime example of just how wrong they are. Fighting games could be said to have both come a long way since street fighter 2, and not changed at all. The truth is that while the fundimentals have not changed, the level of refinement has risen to an art form. Guilty Gear proved the market (and has become the benchmark) for extremly deep 2D fighting games, but it has become so deep and involved that new players drown in the same depth that makes the series so good.
BlazBlue is by the same design team as Guilty Gear, and they took serius time and effort to bridge that gap between the vetrans and the new players. placing the non standard abilitys of charicters on a single button rather then complex imputs makes it easyer to learn and pull off truely impressive things. The use of one touch special moves (a limited selection that on most charicters are moves you will be using a lot) mapped to the right analog stick opens most of each charicters playbook to everyone. Of course, having a million tools does no good if you dont know how and when to use them, so a vetran still holds the edge, but the gap is not the unbridgable abyss that it was in Guilty Gear's more modern decendents. on top of this is the impressively done story that requires you to play though each charicter and the final ending to really understand, and is compelling enough to warrent the time and effort involved.
Visually, I hope you have a large high definition TV or monitor to play this on, because the artwork and animations are hand drawn frame by frame poetry. The backrounds are filled with life and small details, and even the simple still images used to fill most of the story mode events are clearly the work of skilled artists. The few peices of animated cutscenes are drawn in a style consistant with the game itself, and their sparing use was a wise move, because the ones that do occour hold that much more impact.
Guilty Gear is known for its music, most of it done by the same artist, and all of it top quality material. I bought the limited edition, which came with the soundtrack, saving me from having to buy that seprately (the music is that good.)
 Nice alternative to Street Fighter November 9, 2009

This game will not replace a good Street Fighter title but it's a nice change of pace, especially if u can get a copy for cheap. I own both games and like them both.
Not Balanced October 5, 2009
Darryl Mcknight (Oklahoma City, OK USA)
This is a REALLY good game and pretty good combat system (Yes, I know it's basic 2-D). One of the things I don't like is how some characters' move sets are made to be spammed while staying on the other side of the screen. I also don't like how "The more you're hit the longer it takes to recover". Though it's from the makers of Guilty Gear, and it's a different game, it's not as balanced as Guilty Gear is.
