7.0 Presentation
Lots of game modes to enjoy, but the overall packaging is unattractive.

9.0 Graphics
Not only is it colorful and interesting, but it runs smoothly and is unlike any other fighting game on Xbox. Very strange, but also very well-designed characters are top-notch.

7.5 Sound
Lots of heavy metal to get your blood pumping and good voice acting to boot. No custom soundtracks of Dolby Digital 5.1 support is a bit disappointing.

9.0 Gameplay
Deep fighting system with a steep learning curve. If you take the time to learn the subtleties of each character, you'll probably love it.

9.0 Lasting Appeal
Plenty of modes to enjoy solo and there's also online play. Lack of System Link sucks a bit, but if you enjoy the game, you can put in 40-50 hours easily and not get bored.

8.9 OVERALL

Third Strike will kick its ass.

In what universe does this game deserve a 9 for graphics? I mean it looks great, but IGNXbox is way too nice.

Third Strike>GG

 

[DrDogg]

Why would you need system link for a 2-player fighting game? That's retarded.

 

[cvxfreak]

Damn right!

The game sure is very purdy, but it can also be done on Dreamcast, so yeah 9 does seem high. But when compared to 2D games on XBox, it probably has little competition in the looks department, I recon the hardware is more capable than that though.

I just can't get into Guilty Gear. It just seems so random to me, so removed from SF and KOF. I'll probably keep buying them though, in case I ever develop a taste.

 

[atomiswave]

yes indeed the game does look very nice, 2d graphics dont require much technology nowadays. The animation does suck though, compared to the graphics, so expect something more along KOF and less like SF III

PS2 doesn't even run GGX2 at 60fps.

What now?

"Best 2D fighter on XBox" - IGN Review

Take that, crappy ports of old Capcom games!

 

[aerofx]

The graphics deserves a 10.

 

[puck1337]

I don't understand this. Do they mean for dual TV action?

Yes. But why? What's the point of playing fighting games over a LAN?

 

[Drexon]

Puck> Totally agree. You always see the two characters on screen at all time when you're fighting, no need to be on 2 different television sets. Alternatevly you could do some kinda championship mode, where you start off with eight ppl or so and decide who's the best, but that's lame.

 

[dark10x]

Guilty Gear X2 does not run at 60 frames per second on Playstation 2, unlike the Arcade version.

That is absolutely incorrect. Where on earth did you get such information?

GGXX on PS2 runs at 60 fps AND supports progressive scan.

 

[Deku Tree]

GGXX on PS2 runs at 60 fps AND supports progressive scan.

The xbox version too?

 

[dark10x]

The xbox version too?

No doubt.

I really enjoyed Guilty Gear X on my vacation. Such a fun game to play, and I managed to beat every character. I hope X2 on Xbox is just as good.
