BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend is an excellent fighting game and a virtually identical porting of its PlayStation 3 counterpart, jampacked with content, modes and goodies to unlock. However, it's still your usual BlazBlue and you might not be interested if you have already purchased Continuum Shift II and every DLC character.
It's not only the best-looking 2D fighter ever created, but in my opinion, it's also one of the best and most feature-laden fighting games period - a statement I do not make lightly.

I enjoyed playing this game, I didnt care much for the dialogue, but an otherwise fun game, one of few fighing games Ive ever played. I dont really know what makes a figher golden, or a top notch title but, I know that I found it to be fun.

every bit as amazing and fun as the console version, in the form of a handheld game. the graphics are beautiful, and the story is great as always. as well as the game-play, although the vita's d-pad makes the moves easier to achieve than the dualshock 3 d-pad. it's a great 2D-fighter with a great story, graphics and game-play,

A complex-yet-accessible 2D fighter which will satisfy hardcore SF fans much more than Marvel vs. Capcom 3. [March 2012, p.92]
If you love technical fighting, high quality graphics, strong gameplay and a really large roster, Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend is the game that you are looking for.
It's easy to fall in love with Blazblue: Continuum Shift Extend thanks to the super stylistic graphics, very deep gameplay and amazing set of characters. And this is truly a great fighting game, even though the loading times and sound should have gotten more love.
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend is insanely beautiful and it offers game mechanics that few games in the genre can match. But sadly it's a bit too narrow and hardcore for me to fully embrace it and instead I find myself being very bored.
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

This is a must have game for any 2D fighter fan, if you are into BlazBlu games or other Aksys games such as Guilty Gear, or even if you are new to 2D fighters this should be one of the first games you own on your vita. The upgrades to online play have been amazing from previous BlazBlue games as well, and unfortunately they failed to explain on the box art that it has online play so i went into it disappointed but was extremely happy and surprised to find that BlazBlu for Vita does in fact support online play and it is really really good.

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.

This is a warning you must heed. If you are playing this is your first blazblue game you won't enjoy it. of course there are exceptions but the sheer number of fancy terms, names, and techniques tossed at the player guarantee that even a rocket scientist couldn't dive into this game without some slight confusion. Every character has at least two nicknames and a confusing weapon name to go along with it. they also have a long back story not summed up in it's entirety by the initial story mode. It will take a lot of dedication for new comers to become intimate with this game. Don't undermine that statement like I did when I read reviews. It will take a lot of dedication. Also the combat is often just as complicated. though you can get through a large number of the story battle by button mashing eventually you will encounter a foe that will require a deep amount of knowledge concerning your characters special moves and blocking. Training mode helps but cannot solve all the problems. All in all this game is enjoyable but not to those who simply want a "simple fighter" like Tekken.
