Although it doesn't use itsself to it's full potential, it's still a good game and cool to play with friends.
User Rating: 6.8 | Guilty Gear Dust Strikers DS
Guilty gear dust strikers is a good concept and good addition to the DS, the closest thing to super smash bros that the DS has (I noticed nobody else pointed this out) And I must apologize to this game, for the low grade i've given it through the rating system. There is more to a game than just the obvious features on the rating scale, and dust strikers gets just about a medal in catagory "other". While the SFX are repetative and annoying- a good three-quarters of the music track is awesome. It's the only game of it's type for DS and does a good job of it. Each character is unique, and it is fun to follow them through story mode and listen to what they have to say. The story mode, even though not all of that engaging, is not entirely short compared to fighting game standards. And when you spread it out over all of the characters, it becomes alittle massive.
The problem with this game is, there is nothing to work for or keep you interested. You can unlock moves for robo-ky by playing mini-games, but aquiring all of these moves is not a difficult task and lasts about 45 minutes to an hour. To make this game last longer, they should have you start off with 8 or 10 characters, and you have to unlock the rest.
It's a good game to play on the go and with friends, but even with these features it doesn't last very long. But then again, what party game is? Except for the infamous mario parties.
If given a rating scale not using factors, this game would receive about an 8.0- and I reccomend at least trying this game acouple times with friends.
