Teen Description:
2D beat-em-ups are an acquired taste. Although they lack the visual intricacy of their 3D cousins, they boast a proud heritage of single and multi-player violence, and the two-dimensional nature of the gameplay allows for far more intricate (and some would say skilful) control schemes. Guilty Gear X is a perfect example of this.
The original Guilty Gear hit the PS one® in 1998, and Guilty Gear X appeared in arcades a couple of years later. Boasting 14 wild and wonderful characters, Gear X takes the 2D beat-em-up to new levels, both graphically and in terms of complexity. The visuals are crisp, clean, and full of humorous touches, but it's the gameplay that really shines. Special moves, counter attacks, outrageous combos and even more outrageous finishing moves combine to make this a beat-em-up that rewards skillful players and punishes button-bashers.
