I've been playing Guilty Gear XX before playing this and I must say, it felt akward in the transition. Fans of previous GG iderations may be a little shock with the new 4 player system. There are two things that will throw off a Guilty Gear veteran when they first pick up Isuka: 1) You have to manualy swap which direction you face because of the possibility of having multiple enemies on either side of you and 2) There is now a foreground and a background space that you can swap between. However, while akward at firs, you'll get used to it. In fact, the background-foreground can be utilized very effectively for teams or suprise strategies because what lies in one of the plains is unaffected by the other.
There is also a new feature unique from its predecessors which is "Robo-KyII Factory" where you can customize a Robo-Ky with special attacks borrowed from the other characters (which can lead to bizzare instances such as if you equipped him with Slayer's blood-sucking ability) in addition to being able to tamper with his stats like speed, attack, life, ect.
I was somewhat dissapointed at the lack of story mode like in the other Guilty Gear games.
All in all though,this game is meant for multi-player. There is pretty limited single-play options, but the multiplay is terrific. While one may think the action will be WAY too hectic seeing to it that other 1v1 iderations of Guilty Gear were already pretty insane. However, the creators managed to make it all work out. How? Can't say, I just does :P But to be able to have "scenarios" between the players imgination by having "dream match-ups" like Sol and Ky vs. Millia and Eddie is simply awesome.
This game blows any other 2-D fighter out of the water with its bizzare characters and great fighting system. In fact, I may go so far as to say it beats many 3-D fighters such as Soul Calibur II because I've played that too and I scoffed at the 2-D fighters at the time. However, once I laied hands on Guilty Gear, I haven't gone back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best 2D fighting series made today, November 3, 2004

I'm really surprised this series is still so unknown. I've been playing Street Fighter installments for over a decade and I own every Capcom 2D fighting game for the PS1 and PS2. Hands down, Guilty Gear's the best in graphics and gameplay. In a sense, it's what I would imagine Samurai Showdown to become if it had evolved. I'd really thought 2D fighters were dying out a couple years ago before I picked up Guilty Gear X and I was wrong. And each sequel adds more depth and innovation. For instance, GGX had a solid cast, graphics, gameplay and the inclusion of a blockable Instakill move that could be attempted once in a round. Each Instakill was unique to that character and all were entertaining. GGX2 had all that plus more characters, unlockable ex versions of the characters from the previous game and sp (gold) alternate characters with their own attributes. The effects and depth of vs matches were so impressive, especially with further ways to alter your fighter from its regular version and now a four player fight fest? Forget about it. I don't even see anything on the horizon that will knock this king off his throne IMO. Luckily, this being a fairly little known hit hasn't seemed to hurt the series since they're on the 3rd game on the PS2 and still innovating the gameplay. Get this game while you can because Guilty Gear games become pretty rare after a year or so and don't go on Greatest Hits.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad version of X2, August 6, 2007

By 

Sandra with Highfunctioning Autism (Sweden) - See all my reviews

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Guilty Gear Isuka (Video Game)

Well, let's compare the awsome X2 with this version.
Here we get:

- The annoyance of having to turn your character around
- Uglier stages, one stage is so bright it's hard to see which way Zappa is facing
- 4 character battle, which is kinda fun
- No story mode (or at least not near as good as X2)
- "2" new characters
- The exact same charactersprites and combos as before
- Character screen that is so small you have trouble finding the character you want to play with

Really, just skip this game and get X2. This is just an uglier version with some extras that just aren't worth it.
