Amazon.com Product Description:
Guilty Gear X is a visually stunning 2-D fighter for the PlayStation2 console. Speed is the name of this game--the faster you fight, the deadlier your arsenal of attacks. Build up the tension gauge for a number of effects, then go for the instant kill! Guilty Gear X is the most explosive version in the series, making full use of the PlayStation2's enhanced hardware capability. New to the PS2 version are a revamped tension gauge, an instant-kill move (very tricky, yet very rewarding), and the stunning Roman candle--a move that enables experienced players to create their own devastating combos.

- POTEMKIN BUSTER!!
The first time I played this game I wasnt sure of what to think of but once I started to play more often I knew it is good. It has a non traditional soundtrack, usually fighting games just have keyboard music which isnt bad, but this has guitars, bass, and drums. It has the sound of the early days of Metal. I especially like how the name of some characters moves make referance to Metal bands. The graphics are clear and vivid. The bosses are cheap just the way I like em, nothing like a good test of your skills. There arnt that much characters but it is made up by the crazy designs of the characters, there attributes, and there storylines. This game also has fast gameplay but not as fast as the Marvel vs Capcom series but it is almost there. And if you are experienced in 2-D fighters the special moves are no problem. There is so much to say about this game, but I like to keep it short. What I am basically saying is that this game is a good nod to the old school.

- It was the best 2D fighter ever made until...
The sequel, Guilty Gear X2 hit shelves. This feels like an un full version of GGX2. Don't bother with this one. Just get the sequel. It is the best 2D fighter EVER.

- Best fighting game ever!!!!
OK..You thought putting Street fighter on super turbo mode was insane right..but the only flaw was that your charecters tehn fought sloppy and graphics wer choppy.Well Guilty Gear X takes taht away,the GUilty Gear series is remarkable with hand drawn backround and charecters for the game,The combos and Destroy moves are totally insane and among still being beutaifully done.

- Hands down, the best 2-D fighter ever.
To understand Guilty Gear X, you must first have played the Samurai Showdown (Samurai Spirits in Japan) and the Capcom Versus (X-Men Vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Vs. Capcom, Etc. ) series. Guilty Gear X uses a combination of slashing with weapons as well as hand to hand combat, not very different from Samurai Showdown. Guilty Gear X also incorporates the ability to super jump (Hyper jump in Capcom Versus series) as well as mid-air dashes. The combination of these two styles gives the game a feel of its own, allowing players to recover from most bad situations as well as strategically confront their adversary.

There are thirteen initial characters available with 2 hidden. Each fighter has a completely unique style of play. The beauty of the game comes from its originality. Sammy gave the characters fighting styles that do not parallel any other fighting game. From Baiken's ability to deflect projectiles by flipping up cards (or that's the best I could make of the attack) to Jam's furious kicking combos, each character keeps their own method of play. Granted, Jam seems to be their answer to Capcom's Chun Li (Street Fighter II) or SEGA's Sarah Bryant (Virtua Fighter), her usage of rush attacks and application of her outfit's custom sleeves in her fighting style adds up to string combos that the others could only dream of. Even Millia Rage, who fights with her hair, has little in common with Midway's Sindel (Mortal Kombat 3).

With out a doubt, Guilty Gear X boasts the best 2-D graphics of all time. Sammy out did themselves in this masterpiece. Everything is rendered in hand drawn anime. Both backgrounds and characters are completely seamless. Picture being able to control the action during a fight scene in Ninja Scroll (Manga), that is exactly the feel you will have when playing Guilty Gear X.

There is not much I can say about the audio quality of Guilty Gear X. It is up to par as expected. The announcer has a menacing voice that announces "Heaven or Hell" at the beginning of every match. This could go either way, I like the intro, but I can see where others may not appreciate the added comment prior to engaging. As for the voice acting, it was well done. I really can not say it was above average because in the fighting genre, you barely ever get a glimpse at the real talent of the actors playing the characters. Instead, you learn how well they can grunt and yell, with the occasional catch phrase for a winning pose. I will say that the voice-overs do compliment the character's personalities very well.

My only disappointment with Guilty Gear X is the over-all story. In this continuum, a Gear named Justice was created to judge the world. He was defeated in Guilty Gear (Original). Now another Gear must be destroyed, as it is killing innocent people. It does not sound very original in design, but does manager to carry the game along. The characters, on the hand, have very interesting and unique stories. Millia, for instance, watched her parents be slaughtered and burned as a child. She is now an assassin who refuses to kill an innocent. This equals a very interesting ending, to which I will not spoil.

Overall, I am very pleased with Guilty Gear X. This is a must own for Playstation 2owners. I am very confident that hardcore fighting players will thoroughly enjoy this game. And although the overall story is semi-redundant, I still give this game a 10 out of 10. If you do not already own it, get it.
