 The One, The Daddy, The Fighting Game of Fighting Games! May 3, 2007
I was introduced to this game years ago when I was 14 years old and the impact of the game's existence to have been experienced by my own two hands and eyes were on never to be forgotten. Rekindled by the experience 3 years later when I mentioned it to another friend made when I had mode prior to my years past, we were lucky enough to have come across it again and hands down, Guilty Gear is THE Fighting Game to be.
The complexity of this game's mechanics and style goes unprecedented and to this day I still connect it as the breath of fresh air of all fighting games, Marvel VS Capcom 2 being a VERY close contender but GG reigns king as far as I'm concerned. The 'Instant Kill' DESTROYED move, where you can win a single game regardless of rounds, is to me the most outstanding feature GG has-- in Mortal Kombat terms, imagine being able to pull off a Fatality THE SECOND the round starts. Now the Destroyed move can be reversed and a game can actually be fought with just trying to 'Destroy' one another and reversing it but most likely someone will succeed or you'll just end up quitting and want to play the game, ha ha.
The game plays furious and with a visceral gnaw to the soul, the aural experience is one to be heard (I've a sound system hooked up and I crank that sucker up as LOUD as I can legally pump my stereo to this game, and it never fails to detest my love of how awesome this game feels as it sounds), and though dated, the game still has a nostalgic essence of what 2D games, fighting or not, were and that represents a fantastic 'oldskool' feel to it-- you can't go wrong or any more oldskool than this.
As mentioned in a prior review from Gamespot "The downside to this great fighting game (especially when you consider how long Arc's been working on it) is the lack of options." One must also consider just how big (or rather, small) Arc Systems was then and that ever detail they put into the game now amounts to the work they put in then and the Playstation had its limitations on just what Arc could offer. Guilty Gear is a true Spartan of a video game in the sense it only has Normal, Versus and Training Mode, but what it lacks in features, makes up for in true gaming bliss of what every fighting game should be all about; the action. Guilty Gear may lack features which could affect it as flawed considering other games that came out prior, but it is a masterpiece by design. If anything, Guilty Gear has set the bar gone unnoticed of what all fighting games should be, but that's what makes this game much more special and outstanding above all the rest.
Pros -
Gameplay -- Visceral, Heart-Pounding action that puts Capcom's mettle to shame.
Sound -- CRANK THAT BOX UP! You haven't played Guilty Gear to its fullest till you've played it on max decibels.
Graphics -- Truly oldskool but definitely up to par, my bias inclining as I've still a love for 2D fighters.
Fun -- As fun as the competition gets, make sure you have a good friend who's also a worthy opponent. If you get far into it like I have, you'll even find the Hard difficulty computer easy and simply BEG for some human competition.
CONS --
I don't own a 90'' TV screen to truly adore the game as I'd like to in that crazy arcade sense.
===
To this day, I still pop the game in from time to time and it still feels like the first time I played it-- NEVER disappointed.

Guilty Gear - Circa 1999/2000
GOOD:
- Good Balanced 2D fighter
- An old school fighter that stands out art style or theme wise
BAD:
- Loading times, very short but still there
- Graphics might be dated for some people
- Somewhat small staple of fighters
- Game has one hit instant death moves, which cannot be turned off
WILL IT FIT YOUR TASTE:
- Very fast and furious
- Anime art style or theme
- one hit instant death moves cheapen the game for most players
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Samurai Showdown 5
- Marvel Vs Street Fighter
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- First game in Guilty Gear franchise, after this the franchise was known as Guilty Gear X
- The one hit instant death moves are called destroyers and they enable your fighter instantly win both rounds
-In later versions of Guilty Gear (The "X" franchise) the destroyers stayed in the game but where reworked to not be such so cheap
Why To Buy December 22, 2002

At first iI had no I idea what a guilty gear was, I thought it was a drink.Me and my friend Haney used to play street fighter games and he used to teach me.Once he asked me if i had Guilty Gear(no).I found it at a friend and traded it.The game was unbileavable, the graphics where perfect and the characters were really stunning with their attacks, even one attack called INSTANT DEATH (which everybody poses) kills the character in 2 shakes of a lambs tail.
As an overall judgement it is OF THE SCALE, if I were you I'd get it right away!!!
Simply the Best June 18, 2002
Guilty Gear is a game that is a simple 2D fighter. Unlike other games of this genre, it manages to surpass many by simple control styles, and amazing graphics to boot. Each character is different, the moves are easy to perform (so no one has to mash buttons repeatedly), the combos aren't complicated and the backgrounds are easy on the eyes.The main complaint I have for this game is the fact that you die way to easily. I don't know who designed this quirk, but each character has a 'ultra kill, no coming back from' type move where it takes away all your life and the match ends. I normally wouldn't mind this except for THE MOVE IS WAY TOO EASY TO DO, AND HARD TO GET OUT OF. If you are playing with your friend, it's too easy to accidentally do this move and kill the enjoyment. Also to note: the computer does this way too often to your fighter when you play against it. All in all, the game is a solid buy, if you get past some extreme flaws in it's mechanic. If you are fed up with the many motions of Mortal Kombat, and dislike the control styles of Street Fighter, you might dig this game. Lord knows I did.

Guilty Gear is THE Ultimate 2d Fighting game.
Pros:Kickin soundtrack (Gotta love 'Beyond the Dark Life')
Tight Characters
Killer Combo System Cons: Lack of 1 player modes(Not SO bad)
Instant kill (on you) is VERY irritating when you're trying to get Baiken (SUPER SECRET CHARACTER) BOMBIN'
