Critic Reviews
Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2
The online multiplayer component of Rev 2 is also worthy of praise: each lobby acts like a Japanese Arcade setup, with cabinets joined side-by-side to indicate two player battles. All one has to do is walk up to a cabinet occupied by an online player and request a match. The player avatars can also be equipped with all sorts of items, which can be collected by merely visiting lobbies as well as fishing in the nearby lake. Other collectibles include diorama figures, character colors and so much more, making players feel rewarded even if they fail to win any online matches (take care when going up against Japanese players…they don’t mess around).

Guilty Gear Xrd: REV 2 isn't as big of a jump as the one -REVELATOR- made, but it is a welcome one nonetheless. It still remains one of the best fighting games out on the market today, and the additions present here make an already good game even better.

Guilty Gear Xrd: Rev 2 builds upon an already fantastic fighter, and those previously invested will no doubt appreciate the various additions and alterations. Guilty Gear's knack for combining incredible style with deep, almost open-ended combo-based gameplay is as impressive as ever, even if this isn't the most robust of expansions.
