Guilty Gear 2: Overture is a real-time strategy/3D action game for the Xbox 360, developed by Arc System Works. It is something of a massively updated spiritual sequel/homage to Technosoft's Herzog Zwei, containing all the same basic gameplay elements. A huge departure from the Guilty Gear 2D fighting series, it fuses elements of RTS games and “Musou” hack-and-slashers, although the emphasis is still on multiplayer versus battles. Story-wise, it is a prequel to the original Guilty Gear.
GG2 is an incredibly difficult and complex game, and players cannot afford to neglect a single detail of its systems. Because of this, the game received an unfavorable reception, and Arc went back to developing 2D fighters afterw Since the in-game tutorial is rather inadequate, it is absolutely required that one read the manual front to back before venturing out of the single-player modes.
