The fighting game genre has to be the hardest genre to start a new IP in. Hardcore fighting game fans are usually loyal to their favorite franchise or developer and rarely give newcomers a shot. It's also incredibly hard to keep a fighting game balanced, fun, and offer something new that Street Fighter or Tekken hasn't done already...It seems BlazBlu and AkSys Games have done just that...The forefront of BlazBlue is it's story. Many fighting games have generic or convuluted stories behind them that serve as solely as a reason to have the combatants fight each other. BlazBlue takes a different route though. The Story Mode is lavishly detailed with still cutscenes, showcasing some amazing art, that move the story along at a simple pace to follow. At certain points in the story, you will have to make a decision on how to progress. Depending on your decisions, and even your match outcome, your ending and story will change for your character. In order to gain 100% completion in each story, you'll have to play it a few times. This may seem tedious, but the story is truly different each playthough if you are making different decisions. It keeps things fresh and never bogs down with repetition...BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is an amazing fighting game. I've been playing fighting games since I first picked up a SNES controller to fight my brother in Street Fighter 2 and BlazBlue is the most refreshing take on the genre thus far. It's a true next gen fighter, taking advantage of the hardware and network capabilities that the consoles provide, while offering a fighting system that will please even the snobbiest of hadouken throwers. If you consider yourself a fan of the genre in anyway, you need to own BlazBlue. - Matthew Erazo
