    This is technically a new game because they have released another disk for this game but its basically a glorified patch for Guilty Gear Xrd. So if you’re a big fan of Anime Fighting games then this is a no-brainer to buy. Everyone is going to be moving onto the newest version so it makes sense to move along with them.

    For me personally, I like a more basic fighting game. Guilty Gear is one of those games where it starts to get a little too complex for me. The combos are very long, the characters are all very different and quite honestly the core game mechanic is, everything is cheap. Every character has unblockables and mix-ups for days and it’s a steep learning curve.

    I’ve always liked the more “basic” fighting games like Mortal Kombat, Injustice, Street Fighter or Killer Instinct. This game is more for the very serious fighting game scene. This will never be a mainstream fighting in American Culture. People who are buying this game are going to tournaments.    … Expand

    The game itself is zany and wild and lots of fun to play with the kids, remind them that age and treachery will always defeat youth and skill...

But I'm giving it a mediocre score because of the menus which are among the most irritating I've ever encountered. Maybe my copy is wonky, but just getting into the game is a challenge. Begins with a menu asking if you want to use an existing save or go on without one. Either option will usually land you back at this question again and it doesn't seem to let you through until you've answered it a few times. After that you're bombarded by other menus and menus within menus. It all just feels really clunky.

    That said, the characters are really creative and fun.    … Expand

    Visually spectacular update on the old 2D Neo Geo fighting game which was widely regarded as one of the "best of the rest" after Streetfighter, Soul Calibur and Tekken. Outrageous characters and spectacular special moves combined with pretty Anime style graphics make for a visual feast but it sometimes feels like a glorified button basher.

    Guilty Gear Rev 2 is a fine update to Revelator that takes an already superb base game, adds some great characters into the mix and refines the fighting engine even further. It still has certain accessibility issues that any game this complex is bound to have , but there’s still nothing quite like Guilty Gear on the market when it comes to delivering high speed battles mixed with awesome visuals and great music.

    A tough, technical fighter with a lot of resources to help you conquer it. Shame about the story mode, though.
