To dismiss this as simply Guilty Gear meets Dynasty Warriors is to completely gloss over half of the game. In addition to the strategy elements, there are duels, exploratory missions, and plenty of button-mashing beat-'em-up action. There's even an odd nod to top-down shooters. But cramming all of this stuff into one game results in (wait for it) none of the parts being particularly polished -- which is especially hard to accept at such a premium price. Yet the game is not without charm and a handful of good missions. The Guilty Gear universe is accurately represented and the bizarro storyline may be tough to swallow, but it's no goofier than some of the anime that scores big on Adult Swim.

I am a huge, huge fan of the Guilty Gear fighters. Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- is one of the prettiest fighting games ever, and was an absolute favorite title of mine last year on PC. I am also a fan of blending game genres, but some combinations go together better than others, and while there are things about GUILTY GEAR 2 -OVERTURE- that I really enjoyed, the genres did not blend together quite as seamlessly as I had hoped.
Hey Poor Player's Adam Foster writes: "Guilty Gear 2: Overture is a difficult game to recommend. There’s definitely something here, but the individual elements aren’t well executed enough for fans of either genre (or even both genres) to get much out of it. On the other hand, there’s definitely something here: It’s just weird enough to be a novel experience, and the multiplayer is engaging enough that if the community holds up, it could be a good time. If you’re just looking for a fun single-player experience to knock out over a weekend, though, I’d look elsewhere."
Great review, compliment from us at htogaming.com to heypoorplayer.com
What a weird game.
Defunct Games reviews Guilty Gear 2: Overture, available now on Steam. Playing like a cross between Dynasty Warriors and Brutal Legend, this disjointed sequel offers a convoluted story and shallow gameplay.
GG2 had was such a strange direction for the series, I was already weirded out by Isuka which tried to be a 2D Smash brothers. At least the music was still on point especially the tracks Ride On Time and Diva.
Flop.
Floppity Flop flop flop.
Did I mention how big a flop this is?
If it were any floppier it would come with a sticker reading "Warning:Hazardous Flop Levels"
||this is a big flop to be fair ofcourse the majority of xbox 360 games are flops||
