    Pros
    +The idea of a fighting 2D party game is nice with two different planes to fight and up to 4 players can brawl with each other
    +Boost mode GG is a beat em up mini game
    +Factory mode lets you customize character colors
    +Arcade mode lets you enjoy challenging fights against solo opponents or team opponents
    +Great cast of characters to play as
    +The ability to customize your game's setting with its own separate configuration tool - lets you customize controller button placement as well and some limited visual settings
    +Great OST

    Cons
    -No Story mode at all
    -The changing planes mechanic can make the game an annoying cat and mouse type of disaster
    -Due to the fact that they added two planes - they had to add a button that lets you turn around - this causes a difficulty spike to occur due to how different it makes the gameplay compared to other guilty gear games.
    -Boost Mode GG has harsh difficulty in terms of the boss fights - bosses fight exactly like they do in arcade mode NPCs however the fact that you lose the ability to jump puts you against a unfair handicap
    -Lack of graphic options make the game seem like you are playing it on a 1990s or early 2000 PC
    -Lack of Online Multiplayer Option

    This game is pretty much Guilty Gear XX #Reload with worse graphic (because of the scaling), with a turn button (exactly) and up to 4 playersThis game is pretty much Guilty Gear XX #Reload with worse graphic (because of the scaling), with a turn button (exactly) and up to 4 players coop play.

    The game mechanics themselves are not that bad, what is really bad is that they tried to fit Guilty Gear cast, that we can remember for combos and fast pace gameplay (with cross-ups) into a Super Smash Bros fighter killing Guilty Gear itself. Actually they went even further adding a side-scrolling beat them up mode... like I said before, they totally stripped any "Guilty Gear" from this title.

    That said, with much pain you can still get a "normal" arcade mode (1vs1) but there's a curse on that: the turn button. Your character won't turn himself to face the opponent but instead you will turn it when you feel like you feel the need. This is A LOT confusing at start but once you master it allows a few smart tricks you won't be able to do with auto-turn. Still it's definitely totally useless.
    Finally a few words about the last boss, remember I-NO from Guity Gear XX? Forget it, you will hit a giant brick in Guilty Gear Isuka, enjoy.

    Graphic, as I wrote before, is a little worse than Guilty Gear XX, I mean, visuals are actually better, but since there's a lot of scaling involved, they get worse.
    Music instead is good, I liked it more than Guilty Gear XX #Reload in general, I'd say it was because there's a bit of experimentation and less strict 80s power metal (still metal though).

    Finally, on this there's no netplay, nor official nor fan made, no one actually cared much about this game. The only reasons you may want to play this game are: playing the new character A.B.A. (which I don't like much actually) and listening to the new tunes that are really good.
    So, if you like side-scrolling fighting games like double dragon or such, buy this game and enjoy side-scrolling fighting with Guilty Gear characters, otherwise just buy the soundtrack somewhere and listen to it.
