   Its not over rated at all... this game deserves all its good reviews from the critics for one simple reason. online mode is PERFECT... i haveIts not over rated at all... this game deserves all its good reviews from the critics for one simple reason. online mode is PERFECT... i have bad internet and often get lag in fighters when i take them online.. but not with this, i get no lag whatsoever, and not only that but the score boards are VERY good... you can find the people with good win/loss ratios with the characters you use and download their last played game so you can study how they win. the characters are all pretty well balanced... the menu screen barely fits on the screen because of all the content... ill be honest first impressions were very average. but the more i play this the more i love it. i have 10X more fun on this than street fighter simply because i can play people online with no interruption (quick to find games too) it may not look the best but it definitely WORKS the best.… Expand

   What? Thats it? Just the graphics? Thats the only reason you could put for your 1 score? Total failure, well Blazblue makes fighting games soWhat? Thats it? Just the graphics? Thats the only reason you could put for your 1 score? Total failure, well Blazblue makes fighting games so much more interactive for its gag reels and such so instead of just playing the character, you kinda get to know the characters. It isn't overstocked with characters but the problem I have is that Valkanhayn, Makoto, and Platinum are all characters you have to buy, and that sucks. The story is great, the background graphics are great (Not that it really matters), and the character gameplay is very diverse. Street Fighter has like 10 characters with all the same bland control… Expand

I'm not taking to serious the story so I can't judge exactly if it is dumb, interesting or fantastic. But at least Im pleased with the gameplay and the variety of modes it includes yet this will be a minor flaw , but the background could have gotten a much more immersive work , instead of doing it in 2D its in a bad 3D engine meanwhile forget about that and you have here a delightful entertaining game.… Expand

Bigger and better character roster, better story and writing, more emotional depth to the characters (Ragna, Lambda); the game is just bigger and better in every way compared to Calamity. The soundtrack is still a joy to listen to, the characters remain just as good if not better than Calamity, the new additions to the roster mean a lot to the story and the scale is bigger overall. A sequel that does it's job as well. If you love anime fighters and liked Calamity Trigger, there is no reason not to get this game.… Expand

   As a 2D fighting game, this one ranks among the best I've played. All the characters feel distinct, awesome to play, and hard to master. OfAs a 2D fighting game, this one ranks among the best I've played. All the characters feel distinct, awesome to play, and hard to master. Of course as in all fighting games there's going to be characters you like and characters you hate, but I thought they are all fun. There's tons of different single and multiplayer modes, as well as an online mode. However, the real fun is offline multiplayer with one other person. The game is distinctly japanese; as such, the art design and music rocks. I thought the story, however, was way too weird and hard to comprehend. Another minus is that the online multiplayer does not have a very robust ranking system; expect to be manhandled quite easily even if you've played for a while and think your "good". However, offline multiplayer where the two players are relatively the same skill level is a blast. One final consideration is that there are several dlc characters to play as as well; however, the PSN is still charging 8 bucks a character (excluding Mu, who is unlockable in the main game). So I have not played as them as of yet, but I've seen videos and they are awesome additions to the gameplay package. This one is a go-to fighting game for me and friends.… Expand

   Do not buy this game. The high priced DLC is ridiculous and Aksys Games has already released another version of the game.
   As for the gameDo not buy this game. The high priced DLC is ridiculous and Aksys Games has already released another version of the game.
   As for the game itself it a a 2D fighter that is a work of art and unique. AN absolutely beautiful work of art that is being scarred by terrible business practices that only hurts the consumer they are selling the product to. It is a shame such a great game cannot be recommended to purchase because of a companies greed and lack of respect to the fans of their product.… Expand
