I'm guilty...

This game owns me. It's fast-paced and the combos are completely UNSANE! THAT'S RIGHT, UNSANE! The only drawback is that it has no endings. The characters are funny and the action is sick. Ever wanted to be a 5'3" little girl capable of weilding a 700 lb. boat anchor or a faceless assassin with a magic pool stick? If so, this game is your sick, twisted nightmare come true.

Sit down, plug in, shut up and play. Guilty Gear X is the classic for the millineum, ...

The Best Fighting Game on the System!

Well, only if you like 2D... But if you do, this is King (the only other one being Capcom vs. SNK 2, which is good but not great - I much prefer the first installment. And then there's Street Fighter EX 3, which is just okay).

Gameplay falls somewhere between the Capcom Versus (Marvel) games and SNK's Samurai Shodown series, but it's much more responsive than the latter and less chaotic than the former. It actually reminds one of Pocket Fighter, with the Slash and Super Slash attacks corresponding to the Special button of Capcom's cute kids fighter... Also, there are silver and gold medals for you to collect, much like the jewels in Pocket Fighter. This opens up new levels of gameplay in 2-player mode as both players go out of their way to try for the hi-score.

The graphics are top-notch, this being the first fully hi-res 2D fighting game on the market. The backgrounds are beautiful, and the animation's amazingly fluent - move over SF3! There's also some great music with about 30 heavy metal tracks you'll want to play on your stereo just for the hell of it. The sound effects are groovy with the sound of crackling fire when performing a Dragon Punch - and how the lava flows around your hands when you do so! This is truly a show-case game, proving that the PS2 is not necessarily a 3D console at all.

The only drawback is that the Japanese have two more secret fighters to unlock than us, it being released over there later, so if you want the most value for your money you have to go out and buy the import version. But there's still the two bosses, Dizzy and Testament, to gain control of, and in two player mode, the replay value is virtually endless. Also, completing the game with all characters on every difficulty level is not something to be done overnight, either. So if you're into 2D, and you're looking for an original fighting game that provides a real challenge, Guilty Gear X is just the one for you.

POTEMKIN BUSTER!!

The first time I played this game I wasnt sure of what to think of but once I started to play more often I knew it is good. It has a non traditional soundtrack, usually fighting games just have keyboard music which isnt bad, but this has guitars, bass, and drums. It has the sound of the early days of Metal. I especially like how the name of some characters moves make referance to Metal bands. The graphics are clear and vivid. The bosses are cheap just the way I like em, nothing like a good test of your skills. There arnt that much characters but it is made up by the crazy designs of the characters, there attributes, and there storylines. This game also has fast gameplay but not as fast as the Marvel vs Capcom series but it is almost there. And if you are experienced in 2-D fighters the special moves are no problem. There is so much to say about this game, but I like to keep it short. What I am basically saying is that this game is a good nod to the old school.

My favorite fighter 4 1/2 stars

This game is awesome I don't know if its better than Capcom Vs. SNK or not but I like it. I love the recover function, which allowes you to counter atack after a big hit. I don't like the instant kill moves, they should get rid of them, its too much like cheating. The animation moves verry fast and the gameplay is in my opinion the best ever for a 2D fighter. I wish they had a little more characters, I think there is something like 14 characters with 2 hidden characters. When the next Guilty Gear comes out I will be first in line to pick it up.
