The special Limited Edition includes the game, a bonus DVD with around 2 hours of fighting tutorial guides and deep character specific strategies. Plus a gorgeous 92 page full colour book with original art and illustrations from the design team at Arc System Works.

Developer Arc System Works have ensured that BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger breaks the traditional fighting game mould by opening up the genre to more casual players.

Experimentation with the three button system will produce quick results for those who might feel alienated by other more complicated fighting titles, while experienced brawlers can rest assured that all the depth they have come to expect from Arc System Works titles is there in abundance.

Unique to BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is the acclaimed RPG adventure story mode, containing over 100,000 lines of dialogue for players to get their teeth into. Betrayed soldier Ragna the Bloodedge, has mastered a fighting style blending magic and technology, known as Azure Grimoire, or BlazBlue.
