General: When
Arc System Works released Guilty
Gear XX: Accent Core
for the PS2 in May 2007, there was a flaw that wasn't debugged before the code
went to production... Reports of the glitch appeared on Japanese gaming message
boards soon after the game hit retailers. Arc System didn't issue a recall
though they did post up an apology on their website to assuage the disappointed
Japanese gamers. Nearly a year later, Arc System Works released Accent
Core Plus, which fixed the glitch, and also added some new features.
No changes have been made to the core battle system,
but characters have been rebalanced, bugs were fixed, and other small details
were tuned. Kliff
and Justice
return once again, and are brought up to speed with the latest gameplay
mechanics. This new package also features a new Survival mode with level-up
features, Mission Mode, Gallery mode with unlockable artwork, an all new Story
mode (complete with voice-overs); and 3 on 3 team battle.
The Story mode is a
continuation of the storyline from Guilty Gear XX. All characters have a
new storyline, and the stories cover the major events involving the mystery of
Gears, "That Man" and conflict with the Post War Administration
Bureau, etc. The mode uses a full branching path Zapping system with a total of
350 scenarios. The game also introduces a new NPC character: the Post War
Administration Bureau scientist Crow, who attacks the cast in the Story mode
using mindless clones of Justice.

Closing Comment: So I've been wanting to pick up this game, but the 4 Gamestops in my area (Yes, four)... Fail to carry the game. They had the PSP version, but I'm waiting for the PS2 version to get the full experience. I should be able to pick it up soon for review, so stay tuned! ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
