Another 2D ruined by 3D

User Rating: 4 | Guilty Gear 2: Overture X360

Not much you can really say about this game other than the fact that 3D just ruins it all.....

Why can't they just stick with 2D, SFIV 2D and will kick ass, maybe they should have waited a little longer and took some notes on SFIV. Then maybe this game would be worth our time. I understand that 3D is way more complex with the endless possibilities of fighting strategies, and your not just stuck moving backwards or forwards. But some things should never change, there are two different fighting genres, 3D and 2D. they should be kept the same no matter how new.

Over all it looks pretty but the visuals don't make up for the crazy controls, it just doesn't feel right. The sounds of course are nice, and it is nice to see some old faces and some new ones aswell. So 4/10 is a fair score. If your hardcore Guilty Gear Fan give it a shot but don't waste your money on it.
