  1. A comprehensive, deep and fun fighting game.

    It is the total package 2D fighter. Any fighting fan owes it to him or herself to snatch this one immediately.
  3. GGX2 is probably the most vibrantly animated two-dimensional videogame ever made, with each attack and movement drawn to exceptional detail.
  4. It’s all very “out-there”. It’s all very stylish. And apart from the addition of some new and fairly self-explanatory mode updates and some stylishly presented menus this is really what makes Guilty Gear X2 stand out from the crowd.

    Guilty Gear XX is not only revolutionary in 2D fighters but has made an impact on fighting games in general. Sleek beutiful graphics, kick ass metal sound track, unique & awesome character designs, and adictive and well balanced game mechanics and gameplay, no wonder everyones calling it the greatest 2D fighter in existance, and in my opinion might be the greatest fighter of all time. It definatly beats any fighters Capcom craps out every month, Soul Calibur was an incredibly good game but even when I mastered it I still had trouble beating inexpierienced button mashers so there isn't room for expierienced players to grow, Dead OR Alive had neat combos and made you look cool no matter how bad you are but the voices were horrid, and the plot made little to no sense, also the characters were kinda dumb and it went overboard on fan service. So if you enjoy fighters I strongly suggest you go out and buy Guilty Gear XX, also when I bought it new the day it came out the price was at a surprising 45 dollars, and a used version should be much lower. Also if you enjoy japanese anime you might also want to check out this game, it's heavy in the anime department...which kicks ass. Expand

    This game rocks very very hard. I sold Vice City to get this game, and that's saying something. It's sort of a fusion of the complex fighting of the Street Fighter games and the over the top style of the Marvel vs. Capcom games. The anime style is very cool and the absurd story lines and characters are pure genious. Expand

    Every character is different in their own great way, and it's easy to get drawn into the story and feel for them! And, of course, Testament just rocks out loud. As soon as the Anime advertised in the game itself comes out, EVERYONE should buy it! Expand
