    With a little more time, greater character selection, and making the game a little harder, Capcom will have a serious contender on their hands.

    Presents absolutely no challenge, even on the hardest difficult setting. [August 2002, p.91]

    The ease of moves and the accessibility of the characters makes Guilty Gear X the complete opposite of titles like King of Fighters : Neoblood. If you are no fan of pedantic games, but enjoy a good scrap then this game is definitely for you.

    The sound is terrible, background art is mostly horrendous, and the single-player mode is absolutely worthless, as even on its highest difficulty it’s extremely easy to beat.

    A good port of a great game and even though it's very easy on the hardest settings there is still enough here to keep players occupied for a while, especially on those long road trips or just while sitting on the toilet.

    It looks decent, sounds OK, and plays almost as well as any other good fighter on the GBA.
  9. Gamer's Pulse

    I think the key to the success of this game is that it brings a great look and story that ports very nicely to the Game Boy Advance.

    This will definitely fit the bill when you need your free-roaming Guilt trip, but there are better GBA fighting games on the market.

    Like any fighting game, though, it's only as good as its replay value, and GGX's is a little better than average. [August 2002, p.136]

    The characters are surprisingly well animated and detailed, but the backgrounds are sadly flat, devoid of any line scrolling or parallax. [June 2002, p.68]

    If the fighters were any smaller and harder to see against the dark backgrounds, this game would require night vision goggles and a microscope. [Winter 2002, p.38]

    Guilty Gear's opponent AI isn't so much bad as utterly non-existent. [Edge]

It's nice looking with plenty of characters but they are quite small, the 2 button gameplay is shallow and the weak AI makes it far too easy. A decent enough fighting game but Tekken Advance and Street Fighter Alpha 3 are loads better.… Full Review »

It translates from console to handheld almost perfectly, and even though the music has been dumbed down pretty hard, the bleeps and bloops that remain still sound like the classic Guilty Gear songs, just more NES-like. The game is quite easy, but of course it's fun to beat the crap out of the enemy. The graphics are pretty good, I guess, and the characters animate pretty well. The only problem is that it's as hard as heck to find anymore.… Full Review »
