GG2:overture is somehow one of the most misunderstood game of all times, probably because of the burden of its predecessors.
The guilty gear saga is probably know for being one of the best 2d fighting game, and during the years have produced many titles with some new charachter here and there.
Now, at some point Daisuke Ishiwatari (the original creator of the game, and composer of all hard rock-metal music) decided to create something totally new, while the liege of 2d fighting would be carried on by another title, Blazblue.
And that's the problem. When fan discovered that the new GG wasn't a fighting game, simply hated it. And the fact that the game wasn't a typical, western RTS didn't helped the rest of the public.
But in short, what is Guilty Gear 2? A dynasty warrior clone? an RTS? a 3d fighting game?
GG2 is all and none of thse, it's a unique, competitive game that unite elements from fighting game, action game and strategy game into a new totally concept, defined as "melee action game"
The core of the game, usuless to say and stated many time by its creator, is the multyplayer. The campain mode serve as a training to prepare slowly for it, but it doesn't work too well, and it's generally boring, even if it bring forward the story of the previous chapters.
But, as I was saying, it's in multyplayer that the game shine.
The player control the army master in third person, while can easyly summon and move troops by calling the organ, a practic mini-map.
The objective of the game is to destroy the enemy base, the masterghost. Unfortunately, the masterghost is protected by a barrier, tha reflect the master attacks.
The servants (the master troops) can easyly destroy the barrier, but they have to reach it first. TO buy and unlock new servants you need mana, the game value. To obtain mana the player need to control ghosts, control points scattered around the map.
So, the basic lines of the game can be understood even from this brief view: you control servants to capture ghost, that gives the player mana to buy more servants, that will ultimately found a free way to the enemy masterghost and destroy its barrier. In all of this the player need to control the master, that can run all around the map in short time, destroy entire groups of servants in a moment and transport servants with him to release them in key point.
That creates a unique tactical experience: you have to control the servants, move to ghost, and always consider what the enemy master is doing and not leave your key ghost/servants unprotected, all of this while you search for the enemy seravnts, run across the map, release your servants and think about a new strategy.
Also, when a master encounter the enemy, the game work as a fighting game in all aspects: you have combo, defence and even all the advanced charateristic of the previous guilty gear game, like areal dash, psichic burst, roman cancel and so on.
There is many other charateristic of the game, but that's just a general overview
In general, GG2 is not an easy game. It has much to offer, but also ask for some work.
If you search for an easy game to enjoy alone, it's not probably the game for you.
But if you want a new, challenging experience that never cease to wonder, it's surely a must buy

I had first heard about this title when it was in Japan and said it's to much like street figther!!!...But after they adapted it to a hack and slash I said that's innovation. Two for the money baby. Love the Maps and Sol is still a great character to play with.
