General: Guilty Gear X was a huge improvement over it's predecessor; showing off some of the largest, and most impressive 2D sprites ever to be seen in a fighting game (or video game in general). GGX is complete with a badass intro, superb soundtrack, awesome anime-style animation and action, and some truly "next gen" character designs.
.
The gameplay can definitely be described as "off the wall"... It's not your typical Street Fighter style game, although it definitely took a few obvious trademarks from Capcom's and SNK's famous 2D fighters. While not incredibly technical, the gameplay is unique mainly because of it's crazy speed, air dashing, and insane moves.
.
Once again, the graphics are excellent, but some of the characters could move a bit more fluid. The animation of Guilty Gear X can't touch the fluidity of the Street Fighter III series... Still, the "anime style" animation does justice to the large and beefy 2D sprites, as characters duel in some of the flashiest and most intense battles you'll see in any game.

Closing Comment: Definitely now considered a classic, if you haven't played the first Guilty Gear X; you missed out. After you pick up your jaw off of the ground from the graphics, you'll notice a cool fighting system that's easy to pick up and play, but hard to master. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
