Critic Reviews

100 Gaming Age
Guilty Gear X as a whole is on the verge of 2-D fighting perfection. My only real gripe, and I'm grasping for gripes here, is that the game has no real endings to speak of.
100 Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
Forget your Capcom allegiances and vote with your feet: Guilty Gear X is an Otaku's Sistine Chapel - and you are duly called to worship.
90 GamerWeb Sega
Truly standout graphics, a solid and dynamic fighting system, and the game's style blend gracefully to create a very strong overall package.
88 Daily Radar
To further sweeten the mix, Gear X includes some well-animated characters, as well as detailed backgrounds that serve to soften the sting of the game's visual noise.
87 IGN
Guilty Gear X will be remembered years from now. Most likely, you'll hear about it as the game that brought 2D graphics into the real next generation, and maybe back into the limelight as well.

The absolute best 2D fighter ever made--for any system, at any time, at any price.
83 Core Magazine
The most gorgeous 2D game ever.
