Guilty Gear: Judgement
(LAST UPDATE: 7/9/07)



Profile

General: In Guilty Gear Judgment, players will be able to experience the fast paced fighting of Guilty Gear X2 # Reload as well as delve into a new Guilty Gear gameplay experience, "Guilty Gear Judgement" which is a beat-em-up, side-scrolling, action mode featuring 20 Guilty Gear characters. For the first time players will take their favorite Guilty Gear character and be able to battle, by themselves or co-op with a friend via the PSP's wireless connectivity, through hordes of aggressors and dole out their own personal brand of judgment.

   In the portible version of GGX2 # Reload, the sprites and backgrounds look just as good on PSP as on PS2, and are very impressive visuals all around. The gameplay and controls are just as you'd expect from the series. A solid fighting game, and something fans and casual fighting gamers alike can enjoy.

   So how does Guilty Gear fare as a sidescroller? Not too bad. You can perform most of each characters special and super moves to mow down hordes of um... Monsters. Because that's pretty much all you fight. Not much of a story... just kill everything that moves. The sprites are smaller than in the fighting game, but still animate smoothly and look quite good for the most part! A fun play through for 1 or 2 players!
