- As a fighting game "casual", Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- manages to command my attention. The 3D models, cel-shaded to give a 2D aesthetic, look fantastic in the final product. The story crafted in the anime rivals that of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat's universes. The only issues that tarnish this PC port's shine are online connectivity and matchmaking.
Nick Monroe · Dec 19, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It’s hard to get hung up on the game’s shortcomings when the core fighting looks and feels so outstanding. Matches are often loud, colorful spectacles in a way few competitors can match. And though the roster isn’t the biggest, each character has an abundance of style and complexity. Like the rest of the series, Guilty Gear Xrd takes patience and commitment to fully wrap your head around, but the rewards are so substantial that the investment is absolutely worth it.
Ben Moore · Jan 30, 2015 Reviewed on PS4 - Arc System Works has utilized all they’ve learned with the numerous successful Blazblue releases to catapult Guilty Gear back to relevance and arguably at the forefront of the genre. You don’t need precognition to see DLC and repackages galore coming out for this, but that’s a ways off. What is true right now is that Guilty Gear Xrd is a phenomenal fighting game, potentially the best of 2014 and a must have for series and genre fans.
Kenneth Richardson · Jan 13, 2015 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Verdict Quote: Bringing the series to the current generation of consoles for the first time, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- offers a wide array of silly characters that provides endless fun for the player between both offline and online play, specifically strengthened by cross-play between PS4 and PS3.
Dean James · Jan 02, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Even though you know the new era of Guilty Gear will be better a sequel or two from now, this first step into the future of the franchise is absolutely worth checking out for both longtime fans and newcomers alike. A well-crafted fighting game with stunning visuals and great support for the online community thanks to cross-platform play.
Eric L. Patterson · Dec 31, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - For all its good looks, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- is ultimately disappointing. What the game does, it does very well, but the sum total feels lacking. Had Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- been released 10 years ago, its shortfalls could have been ignored in the face of tight gameplay mechanics and lovely graphics, but in 2014 the game just seems antiquated.
Earnest Cavalli · Dec 23, 2014 Reviewed on PS4 - Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, weird name and all, is a fantastic fighter that does an incredible job of teaching new players the ropes while keeping things interesting for the normal crowd. Aksys has done some great things with this new Guilty Gear, and anyone who’s ever enjoyed a one-on-one fighting game should give this game a shot.
Jason Fanelli · Dec 22, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Taken as a whole, Guilty Gear Xrd Sign is a strong - yet unsurprising - fighting game. It plays well, but in largely the same ways as its predecessors. What new additions it does offer fit seamlessly into the game’s adrenaline-pumping fighting style.
Maxwell McGee · Dec 18, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Guilty Gear Xrd is back to its challenging but entertaining roots, managing to be a happy medium between casual fighters like Mortal Kombat and longtime competitive titles like Street Fighter. It’s not without it’s plot-related flaws, the result of misplaced ambition ...Thanks to a solid understanding of core fighting game mechanics, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- is the installment fans have been waiting for.
James Kozanitis · Dec 17, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Still, even with its faults, GGXrd is an excellent foundation for the inevitable half dozen or so iterations to come. While it may prove to be a divisive title in the hardcore community, it’s an excellent point for newcomers to jump in and learn firsthand why the name “Guilty Gear” commands so much respect in the fighting game community.
