Guilty Gear 2: Overture Should Stay in Japan!

I was hoping this virtual turd-log of a game was going to stay in Japan but it looks like Askys still thinks that the Guilty Gear name alone will sell this one. I admit, I only played the Japanese demo so I don’t really know what was going on but if you think Dynasty Warriors is slow, plodding, and boring then cut off your fingers before someone forces you to play this game.

As you can see, it’s 3D which immediately castrates most of Guilty Gear’s charm. It also has a world map which takes ages to cross because (irony of ironies) you move so. bloody. slow. There’s a dash move but if you run into anything you get stunned. Guilty Gear is supposed to be about leaping all over the screen at ridiculous speeds and killing people. Here it’s repetitive and slow and the strategy gameplay revolves around capturing and defending control points. It’s about as much fun as a single player game of Unreal Tournament sounds. But it’s still coming to the 360, and by Summertime no less.
