In the hands of an expert fighter this game is stunning, but joystick jockeys who are out of shape might want to start an intense training regimen. [July 2009, p.83]
Every anime-riffic charcter - from Ragna, the slightly effeminate swordsman, to Taokaka, the obligatory catgirl - is beautifully drawn and totally bizarre. [Aug 2009, p.71]

This has become one of my favorite fighters of all time and the level of polish and detail this 2D wonder has is amazing. The character designs are excellent, the fighting mechanics are top-notch and there are even extra animated scenes that feature chibi (super adorable) versions of the characters talking about the BlazBlue universe.

Cliché, incomprensible y un sistema de combate que depende en exceso del competitivo veloz machabotones. No requiere inteligencia o práctica sino memoria muscular.

¡¡¡ODIO ESTE JUEGO!!! El modo historia es absurdo,la historia final no te recompensa por haber completado todas las demás,las historias no son más que un montón de texto,los personajes son clichés de animes,el ambiente también es bastante cliché de anime,la música no es muy de mi agrado ya que la mayoría de las veces combina mal la música clásica con el rock y el jefe final es demasiado fácil.

My favorite fighting game. Never get boring and lovely to play with friends. Al characters are based on metal music and the soundtrack is awesome. Every anime game lover should buy this game. Animations are perfect. But there is one thing i i disliked. There are not many characters. But a fighting game that has a nice story? Never saw it before

BlazBlue's online system puts titles like Street Fighter IV to shame, and the overall beauty of high-def 2D sprites put it at the top of the graphics department as well.

Beautiful game, however not the best fighting game on the market. The anime characters are a bit clichà and expectable, that aside the game is enjoyable whenever you play it online or with your friends in the versus mode. If you are a fan of fighting games, you should consider this into your collection. If you're a casual gamer that likes anime characters in fighting games, consider BlazBlue.

Blazblue is an excellent game that has to be played by anyone who loves the fighting genre.

Worth Playing
The actual gameplay; in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger; is relentlessly crazy, to the point where even two complete novices flailing away at one another will be entertained by the ridiculous crap they're able to pull off.

Game Revolution
While BlazBlue is unabashedly brutal online, there’s more than enough offline content to keep beginners busy until they feel skilled enough to brave online play. BlazBlue doesn’t apologize for its complexity, but it does make everyone feel welcome.

One of the best fighters around. [Issue#56, p.86]

Giant Bomb
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is probably a game best suited for people who have been playing fighting games for a long time, but even then, its style seems to be deliberately divisive. It's certainly worth trying out if you're a fan of the genre, but it's entirely possible that you'll find the whole thing to be a big, loud mess.
