There is a bit of a caveat, however, as the later arcade updates were fairly divisive in the Ultimax community for arguably making Shadow characters too strong compared to the standard cast - more about these changes can be found here. So while things may feel familiar to what you used to play, the game will still be a fresh experience full of discovery and experimentation. This isn't a minor touch-up either, as every character was fairly significantly re-balanced along with new and adjusted mechanics added to battles. The biggest change to the game is the gameplay itself actually.Ītlus decided to update the new home version of Ultimax to the final patch found only in Japanese arcades previously, so this experience will be brand new to pretty much everyone in the West. Ultimax's release on modern systems is on the surface much more of a straightforward port of the PS3/Xbox 360 versions than a full on remaster with tons of new content added, but that doesn't tell the full story. ![]() There's more single-player content to spend your time with than most fighters released today too, but what does the new package provide that wasn't already there before? The action, while frenetic, is fluid and satisfying with so much room for player expression within every character, and it feels just as good as it did nearly 8 years ago. Frankly, I'm disappointed that Arcsys didn't take more inspiration from it when designing Chrono Phantasma.For the purposes of our review, I'll be largely focusing on the new bells and whistles added to the updated port of Ultimax that players familiar with the series (or genre) can expect and look forward to as well as what the game has to offer to those looking to jump in for the first time.Īs a fighting game spin-off of the Persona RPG series, Ultimax is still absolutely oozing with style, personality and great presentation although it won't be your cup of tea if you prefer slower, more methodical series in the fighter genre. And Persona 4 Arena is absolutely a better game than Blazblue. SNK 2 and Super Street Fighter 4) but I find it hard to imagine that Blazblue would be significantly worse than it was. I haven't played Guilty Gear to be honest, I got into fighting games long after it was a big deal (starting off with Capcom vs. There's more variety and more chances to change the flow of battle, the combos are generally relatively short and high damage (with the exception of Naoto's) and the matches are fun for both players and audience. Persona 4 Arena is much more intense and involved, despite the simpler commands. ![]() It is not a very exciting game to watch, however it might feel to play. I say this as somebody who has devotedly played both.īlazblue is a very rigid game, with little room for reversal of fortune, a very uninteresting defensive game, and combos that are far too long for the damage they actually do. Persona 4 Arena is a FAR better game than Blazblue. June (30/05-27/06) Game of the Month SMT IV: Apocalypse If you're eligible, please message the moderators.
