    With stunning graphics and solid gameplay, you’ll be hard pressed to find flaws that take anything away from this game.

    Depending on how you slice it, it is arguably the prettiest game ever made.

    I was expecting a boring and slow-paced fighting title like "Tekken Tag Tournament," but what I found was one of the best fighting games of 2001.

    GGX’s solid and responsive control scheme keeps the fighting exciting, although some moves are difficult to execute and require patience to master fully…if at all.

    It plays amazingly well and there's plenty of style and depth to be found here. [Dec 2001, p.161]

    2D beat-'em-up aficionados are unlikely to be convinced by the game.

    It has solid game mechanics, excellent visuals and one of the biggest assortments of freaks for characters ever.

    Guilty Gear finally comes into its own, and it's pretty f*cking cool.

    While Guilty Gear OG was weird and limited and felt too ambitious for it's time, Guilty Gear X is a roaring success taking everything that made Guilty Gear charming and cranking it up to 10, the sprites actually look god in motion here, the characters finally start becoming interesting outside of the supplementary materiel, the music rocks and the gameplay is fun and addictive.

    Introducing one of my favourite characters, Dizzy, the games story is a fun video game romp, which is all I can really ask for from a fighting game. It revolves around the big tiddy 3 year old that is Dizzy (yes that is canon) and her being a Gear, with all our favourite maniacs hunting her for the bounty or for their own personal reasons, and of course, hijinks ensue. Unfortunately it is a fighting game so... yup that's it.

    Guilty Gear X is a true accomplishment and deserves more love from that masses, a brilliant sprite based game, rocking music and a fun story tied together with it's remarkably fun gameplay, but... it can be better.    … Expand

    This game although nothing new, is beautiful to behold and I found myself thinking more of Samurai Shodown than Street Fighter. Note Sam Sho This game although nothing new, is beautiful to behold and I found myself thinking more of Samurai Shodown than Street Fighter. Note Sam Sho and Street Fighter are my number 1 & 2 favorite fighter titles of all time! Guilty Gear X is fun and though a few moves take practice to master, this game is worth the buy!… Expand
