GUILTY GEAR 2 OVERTURE (XBOX 360 X360)

This game picks up the story five years after the events of Guilty Gear. The player takes control of the protagonist Sol Badguy and his friend Sin. The story is set in the land of Illyuria, where King Ky Kiske discovers that the gears from the previous war that were imprisoned are beginning to disappear. Before he can figure out what's going on, a mysterious enemy attacks the country and sends it into chaos. Ky then seeks out the two warriors to help solve the culprit behind the attack and recover the gears before the land is destroyed.

The main gameplay deviates from the traditional arcade brawling in the first game. This time around it features hack-n-slash gameplay, using melee weapons as well as special powers to attack enemies. There are also stages where the player spawns troops known as "minions" which range from simple light or heavy infantry units to magic units that can heal and use spells against other minions. To win these stages, the player must use these minions to fight others and attack their "masterghost" which spawns the other enemy minions.

Players can also use "Mana" to summon new minions as well as unlock certain items and abilities for use. Multiplayer options include going online against each other, four in total, either in teams or in a free-for-all deathmatch, or two players can go head-to-head in split-screen.
