Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus

There's no question that Guilty Gear XX is a great game, one of the best and deepest 2-D fighters to come out in quite some time. There's also no question that Accent Core Plus is thus far the definitive version of Guilty Gear XX. Newcomers will love it, and hardcore fans will want to explore the few new features. However, casual and even dedicated fans won't find the additions worth a whole new purchase.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core + foregoes a lot of fluff and gives you a high-dose injection of lightning fast fighting, sweet combos and heavy metal, but there's not a lot of new content for those who own the previous version. Still, it's a quality fighter.

It might be hard to master all the intricacies of game such as Guilty Gear, but its arrival on the Wii is a blessing. Comprehensive, well executed, as deep as ever, all the while remaining accessible to an extent, for newbies. Now, be aware that you must have a classic controller to enjoy this classic japanese fighter.

Not too user-friendly, but this is a deep and stylish fighter once you get into it.

The addition of the Story mode is welcome since it gives the single-player game some longevity, but I can't help but feel that a true sequel to Guilty Gear XX is long overdue. [May 2009, p.91]

A decent 2D fighter that fully deserves the birthday celebration but feels a little rushed. [July 2011, p.91]

Quotation forthcoming.

Accent Core Plus is the most robust representative of the franchise and sports the same hyper-stylish, fun gameplay that series veterans can attest to. It even comes with the soundtrack!
