\"\"<\/a>Guilty Gear is a series of 2-D one-on-one anime-styled fighting games.\u00a0 They feature a wide variety of interesting characters, This new game isn\u2019t really a sequel, but more of an expansion pack of the last game that was released a couple of years ago.\u00a0 You get all the DLC that has been released so far, as well as familiar characters like Baiken and even some new modes!\u00a0 And the announcer yells the name of the game on the title screen, so I finally get to learn how to pronounce \u201cXrd\u201d (it\u2019s like \u201cZard\u201d or something).<\/p>\n

In the Battle Section are three modes to choose from.\u00a0 You can compete in various matches online.\u00a0 Arcade Mode is a single player avenue where you play through each character\u2019s storyline as they battle an assortment of fighters. There is also a Dojo where you can play through an extensive interactive tutorial as well as take on challenges and missions. \u00a0And finally is M.O.M. Mode.\u00a0 It\u2019s a unique single player mode where you collect medals after knocking out your opponent, and then use those medals to upgrade your character.\u00a0 It just adds some complexity and difficulty for those who want that.<\/p>\n

There is also a Story Mode, but it\u2019s not what you might think.\u00a0 It\u2019s just reading a bunch of text about the aftermath of the characters and settings in Arcade Mode, so you\u2019ll want to play that first beforehand.\u00a0 But Story Mode does have a lot of full animation and voice acting, so if you like anime cartoons with lots of convoluted storylines, you\u2019ll enjoy this part of the game, too.\u00a0 Especially if you like the Guilty Gear characters.\u00a0 You can also read up on the characters and history of Guilty Gear with the glossary-like G.G. World.<\/p>\n

The Collection area has a bunch of other options, like editing your online profile and viewing replays.\u00a0 Using the money you earn from playing, you can also buy artwork, character colors, music, and voices to view.\u00a0 One new addition is Figure Mode, where you can buy and view figures of your favorite characters and change their poses and arrange them in front of backdrops.\u00a0 If you enjoyed messing with trophies in Smash Bros, you\u2019ll definitely like this mode.\u00a0 You can also spend your money to go \u2018fishing\u2019 to get new items, figures, poses, and much more.\u00a0 And of course you can toggle with options and see what extra things to get in the PS Store.<\/p>\n

One of the things that impressed me the most is the graphics.\u00a0 The characters look like hand-drawn cartoons, but for certain special moves, the game\u2019s camera will rotate around even though it\u2019s a 2-D game.\u00a0 This coupled with fully animated intros and win poses makes it hard to distinguish where the cartoon ends and the game begins.\u00a0 It\u2019s very impressive.\u00a0 Really the only problem I had with this game is that it\u2019s rather difficult, even on Easy Mode.\u00a0 But if you enjoy the Guilty Gear series and are a seasoned fighter game pro, you\u2019ll want to check this one out anyway.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guilty Gear Xrd REV2 is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Blood and Gore, Sexual Themes, Use of Alcohol and Tobacco, and Violence.\u00a0 .\u00a0 I really didn\u2019t notice too much blood, as the game is pretty cartoony.\u00a0 Of course there is violence since it\u2019s a fighting game, but again, everything is pretty cartoonish.\u00a0 Some of the female characters wear revealing outfits and say suggestive things, and other characters smoke, too.\u00a0 There is cursing in the text and while playing, and some of the fighters are real potty mouths.\u00a0 All this plus the high difficulty level make this game best suited for teens and older gamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
