   This beautifully drawn and masterfully built 2D-fighter astounded me with its depth in both content and strategy. There is literally hundreds of hours of single-player content for completionists and endless replay for those interested in the online multiplayer. Online battles are intense, balanced, lag-free, with an excellent player community. If you have ANY interest in 2-D fighters, don't miss out on this gem… Expand

   The most IMPORTANT ASPECT is online, and the online battle is near flawless, the connection is well-done and lag is barely a factor in the game. The game gives your character personality and lets you play as a character you like not just on a fighting perspective, but on a personal perspective. Many fighting games lack this, even if its filled with your typical anime bullcrap, Hazama and Relius are very interesting and cool characters. The point being, the graphics are well done the controls are fluent, It is a must have.… Expand

   This game is a must have for any 2D fighting or anime fan. The game controls like a charm and has a stylish "easy" mode for those who just want to pull off crazy moves without having to learn all the intricate controls. However old school fighting fans will also love how deep the combat system is if you chose to not do the stylish and "easy" modes. It really is a game that appeals to all gamers. The game has many modes and even the story modes include many storylines including a "Calamity Trigger", "Continuum Shift" and 4 other character stories. It a lot for just a handheld game. The voice acting is very well done and is of very high production. The graphics are the best I have seen yet for any handheld ever. The colors pop and the animations never disappoint. Characters are done very well. The game has a lot of style as you would expect of a game like this.
   
   However there is one thing I have to fault this game for and it is very minor. The music sometimes drowns out the voice actors when they are talking. Sure there are subtitles so you can read what is going on too but the voice acting is so well done that when the music drowns it out it frustrates that you can't HEAR what the characters are saying. On the note of music, it is also done very well and has a great mix of tracks that never get old or tiring. In conclusion, if you plan on buying a PlayStation Vita at launch I suggest getting this game with it. It has over 10+ different modes in the game and it will show off the gorgeous OLED screen of the PS Vita. You can't afford to miss out on this gem. This game should be on everyone's list when buying the Vita. I cannot recommend this game enough. This game will give you the most bang for your buck. Oh and buy it digitally. It's $5 cheaper than its hard copy and is a lot faster loading when it's digital. Best $34.99 I have spent on the PlayStation Store.… Expand

   I have to say, I was slightly let down by BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend. The game is a 2D fighter with over 10 playable characters and a huge wealth of different game options, including an online mode, and a story mode too. Extend is packed full of content, however, where I feel let down is the actual fighting. The presentation is absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful 2D characters and lush, brightly coloured backgrounds. The music is also amazing too, but I feel the controls let the game down a bit. The technical controls can be very hard to pull off correctly, and although you can opt for the Stylish controls, gameplay then just becomes button mashing. There are many tutorials for each individual character, which will help you learn the basics, and if you wish more advanced techniques, but sometimes the instructions can be hard to follow. Personally I would rate the game a 7, but I'm sure any fighting fan would enjoy this game. Packed full of content and beautifully presented, BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend is a gorgeous title that I'd recommend for the Vita.… Expand
