    This game rocks! Not only does it kick any Capcom game in the rear, the beautiful original character designs is one of the best i´ve ever seen, pick this game up and see why 2d fighters are not dead.

    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!

    Absolutely the best 2-d arcade-style game for the ps2.

    Fans of fighting games that still own a PS2 you owe it to yourself to pick this one up if you can find it. Very addictive and I am not even a hardcore fan of fighters!

    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

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

    Not only does GGX not push the 2D fighter envelope, it doesn't even give it the slightest edge. [Dec 2001, p.93]
