This is probably the best fighting game in currentgen consoles, the "booby lady" is said by taokaka a childish girl in a cat costume which is cute not to give the game 3 lips, the game itself is just great to play with your kid if you think he can handle some ammount of violence, I used to play games like this when I was 8 when there wasn't HD buy this game for playstation3 to play it in 1080p it's a true spectacle, this is much better than street fighter 4 In my opinion

What Parents Need to Know
This review of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger was written by Harold Goldberg
Parents need to know that while this is one of the better fighting games, it is a game where you can shock and burn characters in addition to killing them with swords and guns. Female breasts bop around provocatively and there are occasional untoward comments about the female characters. You’ll also hear swear words.

The wheel of fate is definitely turning in Guilty Gear's worthy successor
For those of you who don't know, BlazBlue is the spiritual successor to a fighting game series called Guilty Gear, which had multiple incarnations across different systems. There was Guilty Gear, Guilty Gear X, Guilty Gear X+, Guilty Gear X2, Guilty Gear X2#Reload (seriously), Guilty Gear Isuka, Guilty Gear X2 ? Core, and Guilty Gear X2 ? Core+, along with Guilty Gear 2 Overture, which was not that good because it had 3D graphics. Now, Arc System Works, the developer of the GG series, knew that sticking to 2D fighting was best, so they made the game BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. Since the other Guilty Gear games were excellent fighters, it should come at no surprise that this game is an excellent fighter. There's a good story, beautiful graphics, and a great soundtrack, but nobody cares about that. You want this game because you're in it for the fighting. And BlazBlue does its job extremely well. It's easy to play, but only if you get an arcade stick for your PS3 or Xbox 360 (Google "PS3 arcade stick" or "360 arcade stick" for more info). In terms of content, this is a T-rated game for a reason: it's violent. It's a fighter, so why should it NOT be? Some characters have swords and guns, and like Common Sense said, a few attacks can shock and burn other characters, and when a character is hit, they lose some health (well, duh) and this is shown in-game as dark red stuff, so it looks like blood. There's also some jiggling of female characters' clothed breasts (again, this is to be expected considering that this is a fighting game). Other than that and some innuendo and language, this game is fine for teens. If you're into fighting games, or are a fan of Guilty Gear, by all means GET THIS GAME.
