General: The first sequel to Blazblue will feature three new characters: Tsubaki Yayoi, Hazama, and Lamda No. 11. Along with the new characters, returning characters will receive some new moves, and as you might expect the gameplay will be tweaked. BlazBlue: Continuum Shift was released in arcades in Winter of 2009, with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ports of the expansion arriving sometime in 2010!
Gameplay Engine Story / Theme Overall Graphics Animation Music / Sound Effects Innovation Customization Options / Extras Intro / Presentation Replayability / Fun "Ouch" Factor Characters BOTTOM LINE Not Yet Rated Closing Comment: The new characters & backgrounds look pretty good... but I'm hoping this installment actually does justice to the word "sequel," and doesn't follow in the footsteps of the late Guilty Gear XX series. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
