5.0 out of 5 stars If you've never gotten into Blazblue, now is the time!, February 18, 2012
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND - standard edition (Video Game)
To anyone that has never experienced Blazblue first-hand, this is the game to buy. Or if you missed out on the previous game, this "Extended" follow-up is really the way to go. People who may have bought the first version of Continuum Shift, please note that this isn't a continuation as much as it is an update with a few character additions and changes to modes.

**Why Newbies to Blazblue should buy:
- The first game is re-told: In story mode, the Extend version gives a condensed retelling of the first Blazeblue game, Calamity Trigger. The re-telling of the Calamity Trigger tale is actually pretty lengthy and Arc System Works discovered ways to involve more characters in the story that were vaguely featured in the first game (such as Tsubaki, Makoto and Hazama). The drawback to the condense version is that it doesn't feature some important unique characterizations found in the first game. You don't learn about Tager and his connection to Kokonoe, Hakumen's role is... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for people who have the previous games!, February 26, 2012
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND - standard edition (Video Game)
I would have given this game five stars if it weren't such a rip off for people who own Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift! Also, I would advise against paying another $20 for the Limited Edition because you can look at art and listen to sound in game and the calendar is not worth it! That said, Blazblue is one of the greatest fighting games ever and if you have never played Calamity Trigger or Continuum Shift it has a ton of content. Blazblue is very easy to learn but difficult to master so you'll be busy for a long time. The characters are very interesting. There are 19 in all. All of the animations are hand drawn not just the movies! The game does a very good job of teaching you how to play.

Presentation: The story is a little too chatty. Interface works well. 3 stars.

Graphics: Absolutely beautiful hand drawn characters. 5 stars.

Sound: Both the English and Japanese soundtracks are excellent. 4.5 stars because there are a few times when it... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Far too light on new content to justify the price; a cash-in, without question., March 8, 2012
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND - standard edition (Video Game)
Additional comments that other reviewers haven't touched on enough yet:

This is a letdown in the way that Super Street Fighter IV AE was, albeit not quite as insulting, as AE somehow managed to make the previous version *worse*. There's very little new content, very close to the point of total redundancy. But AE at least let you upgrade via DLC for $15 ($10 during a sale at one point) instead of another $40 without any choice given. If EXTEND had this upgrade feature, it might be a little more forgivable, but as it stands, EXTEND is simply potentially unnecessary for people who either A) Have CS and all its DLC already, or B) Have CSII, which was PSP and 3DS-specific (the former version being far superior and is in some ways better than EXTEND--more on that later).

CSII wasn't a terrible idea, since there was indeed a lot of overly expensive DLC available, and some of it wasn't even complete--the DLC characters like Makoto, for instance, didn't even have an... Read more
