BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Xbox 360 Game
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Xbox 360 Game

Pros: Diverse Character Roster Gorgeous 2D Art Surprisingly in depth story mode

Cons: Not that much new content if you own BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Character Roster is 'small'

Overall Review: BBCS is akin to Super Street Fighter 4 - an iterative evolution on a solid game that adds some much needed tweaks and polish. For newcomers to the series, this is an excellent place to start - the character roster, while not large as many games, exhibits a breadth and depth seldom seem; Each character possesses a unique "Drive" system that completely changes the way they play - one character has a wide array of pouncing attacks, while another slowly builds a curse upon their opponent, another controls the wind and still another can summon swords around the screen - and that's just a sample. The roster is fairly well balanced, each character is a truly unique experience - and a well built tutorial and challenge modes help get you up to speed on the intricacies of gameplay. Graphically, the game is gorgeous, with beautifully animated and well detailed sprites as well as 3D rendered backgrounds, BBCS is visually quite pleasing as well. Recommended for any fighting game fan.

Overall Review: Bought one of these to replace a years-old case fan. Got the new fan in early November, here we are in January and it's making sad noises already. I confirmed it's not loose -- I can hold the frame of the fan in my hands and it's not vibrating or moving at all, the noise is coming from the spinning fan itself. Not much to recommend in a case fan that doesn't even last a year.
