I've never played any of the GG games and I keep noticing that GG XX for the xbox only costs $19.99

For someone born and raised on a steady diet of KOF and SF's, is this game worth investing the time in? It's not like one of those XMEN/MSH games where jumps propel you 3 screens high and striker-type characters tag in constantly, is it?

No.

Think Mark of the Wolves and Vampire Savior's love child and you've got a good idea of what GGXX feels like.

Nopers.

Let's just say the KOF's and SF's are apples and oranges. GGXXR happens to be a lemon. Not for all tastes. If you don't have any friends that are already familiar w/ the nuance of GG's play mechanics or willing to learn the game, I'd suggest you save twenty bucks as the single player mode is mediocre at best...

I bought Guilty Gear X2 Reload and it's a great 2D fighter game. If you like anime, then, you'll most likely like this game. But, I would probably buy a joystick for the Xbox, because the Xbox controller is hard to play with 2D fighter. But, I'd recommend this, but, you're hearing this from a 2D fighter fan and an otaku.

I guess for $20 it can't hurt to try.
Won't hurt to branch out and try other fighters every now and then.

It's worth it and it's an incredibly deep fighter. Online play is a bit laggy, but you can get used to it.

I love the GG series, personally. The depth is incredible if you're willing to put the effort in, and the animation is topnotch. Oh, and if you have a weird hair metal fetish, by any odd chance, you'll be one large step closer to heaven with any game in the GG series...

I would highly recommend it for $20. I've been playing them since the PSX and DC versions, and I've yet to be disappointed. True about the online play, though- much better to have a friend around who knows the mechanics a bit.

BTW, playing against a noob in GG is like playing a noob in VF4- experience CRUSHES the noob every time.

Never mind what the others say: Guilty Gear XX #Reload is simply the finest 2-D fighting game next to Shin Samurai Spirits.

Buy it, and be happy!

Ignore the haters. It's a great game in all ways. Deep gameplay, great graphics and a killer soundtrack. Online kinda sucks though.

It plays like Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 without the tagging. Gameplay wise I thought it was just "ok". I liked the first one on the PSX the best.
