Blend Games writes: "One of the most popular underground fighting games returns in yet another strange, dynamic and kick-butt adventure game. Featuring multiplayer support for Xbox Live, new characters and all new 3D stages to traverse, Guilty Gear 2: Overture aims to succeed in territory usually dominated by the Dynasty Warriors franchise.
Having its signature cast of freakily cool characters and a robust fighting system, Guilty Gear 2: Overture is shaping up to be a fairly good expansion into the beat-e'm-up genre that Koei usually dominates with fervor. Arc System Works is bringing a whole new flair to the competitive army battles that Warriors Orochi and Dynasty Warriors has worn out with stale repetition. As players can once again take control of kick-butt characters like Sol Badguy – and he's still one of my favorite characters of all time, for any game – Ky Kiske, Azuna, Raven, Sin, Dr. Paradigm, and Valentine, as they battle the forces of evil."

I am a huge, huge fan of the Guilty Gear fighters. Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- is one of the prettiest fighting games ever, and was an absolute favorite title of mine last year on PC. I am also a fan of blending game genres, but some combinations go together better than others, and while there are things about GUILTY GEAR 2 -OVERTURE- that I really enjoyed, the genres did not blend together quite as seamlessly as I had hoped.
Hey Poor Player's Adam Foster writes: "Guilty Gear 2: Overture is a difficult game to recommend. There’s definitely something here, but the individual elements aren’t well executed enough for fans of either genre (or even both genres) to get much out of it. On the other hand, there’s definitely something here: It’s just weird enough to be a novel experience, and the multiplayer is engaging enough that if the community holds up, it could be a good time. If you’re just looking for a fun single-player experience to knock out over a weekend, though, I’d look elsewhere."
Great review, compliment from us at htogaming.com to heypoorplayer.com
What a weird game.
Defunct Games reviews Guilty Gear 2: Overture, available now on Steam. Playing like a cross between Dynasty Warriors and Brutal Legend, this disjointed sequel offers a convoluted story and shallow gameplay.
GG2 had was such a strange direction for the series, I was already weirded out by Isuka which tried to be a 2D Smash brothers. At least the music was still on point especially the tracks Ride On Time and Diva.
