It's time to slice and dice - or just plain bludgeon - your way through a hoard of super-powerful fighters in Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus for the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP).
This popular 2D anime-styled fighting game has enjoyed niche popularity over the past decade and now fans can enjoy what can be best described as the definitive collection of characters - 25 playable fighters, with the return of fan favourites Kliff Undersn and Justice to the roster.
The game features a number of entertaining modes. Standard Arcade Mode is the best of three rounds. For fans and newcomers who want the lowdown on each character, Story Mode provides the background on their place in the Guilty Gear mythos, with fully voiced dialogue (in Japanese with English sub-titles).
Versus Mode has you fighting in a three-man team like Neo Geo's King of Fighters series, while Survival Mode allows you to hone your character's abilities and alter their traits.
The game's main appeal is fast and frenzied fighting, with classic directional D-pad moves like those found in Street Fighter, allowing gamers to pull off some amazing combos both on the ground and in the air.
Unlike other 2D fighting titles, the Guilty Gear series doesn't allow you to stand idle, waiting for openings - you need to dash about the screen and attack your opponents with vicious deluges of blows and special attack moves to do as much damage as possible to your opponents' health bars.
