| Why To Buy, December 21, 2002 |
Reviewer: yehia (see more about me) from Cairo, Egypt
At first iI had no I idea what a guilty gear was, I thought it was a drink.Me and my friend Haney used to play street fighter games and he used to teach me.Once he asked me if i had Guilty Gear(no).I found it at a friend and traded it.The game was unbileavable, the graphics where perfect and the characters were really stunning with their attacks, even one attack called INSTANT DEATH (which everybody poses) kills the character in 2 shakes of a lambs tail.
As an overall judgement it is OF THE SCALE, if I were you I'd get it right away!!! |

Reviewer: solar513 (see more about me) from DC, DC United States
Guilty Gear is a game that is a simple 2D fighter. Unlike other games of this genre, it manages to surpass many by simple control styles, and amazing graphics to boot. Each character is different, the moves are easy to perform (so no one has to mash buttons repeatedly), the combos aren't complicated and the backgrounds are easy on the eyes.
The main complaint I have for this game is the fact that you die way to easily. I don't know who designed this quirk, but each character has a 'ultra kill, no coming back from' type move where it takes away all your life and the match ends. I normally wouldn't mind this except for THE MOVE IS WAY TOO EASY TO DO, AND HARD TO GET OUT OF. If you are playing with your friend, it's too easy to accidentally do this move and kill the enjoyment. Also to note: the computer does this way too often to your fighter when you play against it.
All in all, the game is a solid buy, if you get past some extreme flaws in it's mechanic. If you are fed up with the many motions of Mortal Kombat, and dislike the control styles of Street Fighter, you might dig this game. Lord knows I did.

Guilty Gear is THE Ultimate 2d Fighting game.
Pros:
• Kickin soundtrack (Gotta love 'Beyond the Dark Life')
• Tight Characters
• Killer Combo System
Cons:
• Lack of 1 player modes(Not SO bad)
• Instant kill (on you) is VERY irritating when you're trying to get Baiken (SUPER SECRET CHARACTER)

| Best 2D fighting game ever, November 22, 2001 |
Reviewer: An 11-year old gamer from Australia
Propably my favourite game I've played so far. This game has got fluid animation, a framerate over 80, cool characters, great music, sound effects, special effects and detailed backrounds (but some have less detail).
Some flaws
Lack of options
Bosses can only be played in verse mode
challenging difficulty.
Overall here are the scores
Graphics: 9
Sound: 10
Gameplay: 9 and a half
Value: 8 and a half
Tilt: 9 and a half
a MUST buy for fighters!!!!!!!!

Reviewer: Storm (see more about me) from Abuquerque, NM USA
Guilty gear is one of the best 2D fighting game I have played for the Psx so far.GG has an excellent combo system that rivals those of X-Men Vs Street Fighter. The characters look great with cool animation and a great musical score(If you're into thrash and metal you'll love it)the fighting is very fast(not for beginners) and the graphics are beatifull. Every player in the game has their unique fighting attacks,the player can also run,jump,double jump,triple jump,super jump,wall jump, you get the idea.The player also have a chaos move or call it an instant kill attack that can win you the two round immediatly or lose immediatly that's why sometimes I feel cheated, the the final boss(wich is Justice) is super strong with super strong attacks, still I think GG is way better game than any of those
Capcom,street Fighting games they have and to rap it up No 2D fighting fan should be without.OH! and you MUST! practice, you hear me practice is a MUST!!! |

Reviewer: A gamer
I used to be a Street Fighter devotee. I have most of the games, from the original SF2 to the crowning Alpha 3 and the Marvel vs. Street Fighter.
Until Guilty Gear came along, I was a veteran of Street Fighter Alpha 3, IMHO the best installment of the series thus far. I knew which moves would combo into what, the priority of each attack of most of the characters; I could pull the Raging Demon in the blink of an eye, and use it on a character falling from a jump so he couldn't evade it. I had Akuma, Ryu, Ken, Evil Ryu, Cammy and Shin Akuma all in Level 32. Veterans will understand what I'm talking about- well, it was a lot of time invested in a fighting game.
Since I got Guilty Gear, I haven't touched my Street Fighter collection. It combines the best elements of Marvel vs. Street Fighter- dashes, high-jumps, the ability to do more than one or two hits in a normal combo, with very solid gameplay and novel elements. In this game it doesn't pay off to be defensive. All-out attack won't get you anywhere, either: a couple of strokes from the other player can make kamikaze attacks a painful choice. You can hit characters while they're falling, or on the floor in some cases. The characters are balanced- there is no Ryu or Akuma that, used by a good player, can beat any other character. I can testify to this, because I have a group of friends who each concentrate on a different character; and the outcome is always in doubt until the last
pixel of life bar goes. The graphics are stunning, and character designs deserve a standing ovation. Even the music- not usually a very important element in Capcom's games, as testified by the horrendously bad soundtrack of Marvel vs. Street Fighter, which sounded like bad MIDI music on a bad synthesizer, is superb. Absolutely superb music. Guilty Gear is the consummate fighter. I guarantee that after playing it, you'll also toss SFA3 into the sack.

What to say about Guilty Gear? You arn't going to get the hours you would from Street Fighter Alpha 3, but on the other hand you are going to get a very unique and very entertaining fighter. Guilty Gear is most similar to NeoGeo/SNK games, especially Last Blade and the newest version of Fatal Fury. Game play is excellent and moves are pulled off easily even on the PSXs pad. Also there is a chain combo system such that with every character you can hit punch-slash-slash-hard slash then cancel into a special move, but this does not make the characters any more homogenous--each of the ~10 fighters is relatively unique ranging, including a character that fights with her hair and another one that will attack with his shadows! The game moves very quickly with air dashing, air combos, hitting your opponent
on the ground, supers and level 3 specials, as well as simply running at a good clip. The characters are not particularly well animated, but once you slip into their special moves you'll see this game really shine. Some of the sprites for the special moves are amazing. Great eye-candy. Complaints are the inability to set the game difficulty, a speed control, and most of all game balance. I don't know how found serious players are of being able to win a match with one move, but I know their eyes would bug out if they saw the combo you can do with Kliff that will kill your opponent. The fact you can hit your opponent with supers while they are on the ground, or simply jump into an infinite combo is really what makes this game altogether different than a capcom game. I would really hate to play
this in an arcade and have someone kill me within 5 seconds or less, or instead win the match through an infinite combo. On the other hand, if you want to beat the boss, you will have to become this cheap yourself. On the whole I've given it a 4 star because I could see this game being better. I like its looks, I like the game play, and I admit that doing this outrageous chain combos, uppercutting people on the ground, etc. is pretty damn fun. Doubt I'll be playing it in a couple months, but it was definitely money well spent. |

In the era of the 3D fighting games, it is very very rare to find such a game in 2D, the characters are really cool, and the soundtrack is incredible (mix nin and iron maiden...) Some feature like the "destruction blow" are unique to this game...listen to me...buy it...play it...love it...and leave Street Fighter Saga, aeons behind...Guilty Gear...THE 2D Fighting Game |
