Quantcast



Did our review not give you enough of a low down on BlazBlue: Continuum Shift? Do you need moving images and narration to fully understand concepts? You are in luck! The video above explains many of the major shifts between the first game and this one, and how to best use them.

A word of warning: as the video states, this isn't for beginners. I, having never played the first game, have no idea what is going on here. However, the pictures sure are pretty, and the fighters look awesome, so watching the vid is actually a treat in and of itself.

We assume that Part Two will be coming shortly.

I'd written this off as too similar to CT, but it seems like they've tightened up the mechanics nicely. If the extra DLC characters are fairly priced (~200-400 Ronald McDonald bucks), this may be a purchase.

The tutorial mode does a similar job with snarky little Rachel explaining.

The in-game tutorial is infinitely superior, and far more interesting, than this.

And also covers the complete basics, from moving to fatal counters, quite nicely.

It also requires you to own the game...

This is clearly a means of informing people who don't own the game of the changes.
