  • Summary: In the far future, humanity succeeded in developing an endless energy called the divine power. But although they were able to obtain wisdom, mankind could not cast aside their foolishness. Tension among the major powers led to the creation of biological weapons that were based on that power - Gears. Justice, the only Gear able to command the legions of biological weapons, went berserk and declared war on all of humanity. That was the beginning of the worst war in history - The Crusades. In response, mankind formed an order of elite knights, and with their participation, Justice was defeated. With her fall, all Gears ceased to function and entered a dormant state. The long-lasted Crusades came to an end, and it seemed like mankind restored peace. However, true history has yet to reveal itself. [Aksys Games]… Expand

    Guilty Gear 2: Overture has a lot of good ideas and offers some entertaining gameplay moments, just not enough to warrant a purchase for most consumers.

    If you want to see an action/RTS hybrid that actually gets the strategy part right, then Guilty Gear 2: Overture will deliver the goods. Unfortunately, even though this one element is great, it’s the only gem that stands in this title.

    The suspect RTS elements, when combined with the premium price tag, make it hard to recommend Guilty Gear 2: Overture as a release-day purchase.

    Guilty Gear 2 may be an interesting experiment in cross-genre game design, but it's mostly a shallow mess.

    I rather enjoyed myself, playing this, and the online is great, though it sucks to hit lag from time to time. The online community for it is great, and if you're actually a fan, it gives you quite a bit to think about, story-line wise. I'm rather glad I picked it up on release day.… Collapse

    This game is severely underrated. The action aspects of it blow games like Dynasty Warriors out of the water (and yet this game commonly gets worse reviews). The strategy aspect could definitely have been better, but they certainly aren't bad at all.

    Pros: Very fun action, effective strategy, many different and challenging difficulty levels. This is a game that can occupy your time for very many hours.

    Cons: The graphics could definitely be better for a 360 game. The story is a bit hokey if you're unused to Guilty Gear.    … Expand

    Ok, other game of the Guilty Gear saga (or best say Guilty Gear 2 saga), Overture have good points for do a great game, the graphics, story, gameplay and other things. But the big problem in this new game is intent have two different genres. Good game.… Expand
