 Nothing but Fighting Game GoodnessJan 14, 2008
By Mr. Neil P. Worcester
If you're a fan of any of the classic 2-D fighters (Street Fighter, Samurai Showdown, any of the Neo Geo fighters) your ship has come in. GG Accent Core is chock full of all the things that made these games great (combo's, air juggles, varied characters, weapon combats, interesting and varied super moves, ultimate super moves, etc.)
Pro's:
-Many fighters: this game is packed with a varied cast of fighters with their own feel, moves, and strategies. No palette swaps here! (take that Ken and 50% of the MK series!)
-Solid combo and air juggle system. The combo's are pure Street Fighter approved goodness with out the gratuitous multi hits of some of the later capcom fighters (8 hits for an uppercut connecting? Nope, you gotta earn 8 hits the hard way here.)
-Combo breakers, fall breaks, get ups, and reversals: the amount of choices you have to counter your opponents strategies and combo's is both refreshing and not overdone - you can't simply nullify a combo like in MK:Armagedon or Killer Instinct, but you can force your way out of most damaging combo's or lessen the impact/damage of your opponents offense.
-Super moves and Super Supers: each character has a good variety of moves that fit their fighting style or weapon, and a tension guage allows you to build up to a variety of ultimate super moves that can change the diretion of a match without being incredibly cheap or over powered.
-Instant Kills: Things getting desperate in a match? Risk it all on an instant kill move that can decide the match for you, or put you in a seriously bad situation if you screw it up.
Cons:
-No filler. If you enjoy the story driven fighters like DBZ or Naruto, you're not going to be pleased with GG:AC. So far as I can tell there is no ending story for each character and if you want to understand why these guys are bashing each other up, you're going to need the internet and some research skills.
-Balance Issues: most characters are capable, but some seem to have gotten extra love (Ky, Sol, Slayer) while some seem to have gotten less (Baiken, Johnny, Axl.) They still are competitive, but they have nowhere near as many moves and ultimates as the stars of the show.
-Difficulty Spike: The first character you fight, you will beat like a drum no matter what your skill. The second to last character you face will require all your skill. The boss, Ino, will beat you like your controller is unplugged, no matter how good you are. She has 4 (4!) ultimate moves that hit for greater than 50% damage. She makes M. Bison look like an amateur when it comes to vicious offense.
Overall, GG:AC has the best fighting in town. There are two side modes, a versus and training mode, and a limited number of unlockable content. The game also includes the ability to choose from 3 other super/ultimate styles from the earlier games (adding and subtracting various functions like reversals or additional air super moves.) The detractions that will turn the most players off is the lack of story and online multiplayer, but Wii owners have not yet come to expect online like Xbox users.
So,ultimately, the decision to get into the GG: Accent Core boat is whether you enjoy rock solid, skill based fighting like the 2-d classics, or you prefer the easier anime brawlers that focus on story rather than mechanics.

 great fighting for the WiiFeb 12, 2010
By T. Weekes-nolan
Thank you SEGA for put guilty gear on the wii it one of the most played third party games I play, I just love it. coming from the capcom and snk era I just love 2d fighting games. no crappy camera to work with just straight up action from the get go. graphics are great action is fast keep on your feet and a throw back to the day of good frighter games. the one thing i like the most about this game is that sammy studios and other studio like atri put multi control schemes for their games and not every wii game got to be a wii mote motion game to be great proof ( smash bros). so if you like me and love the 2d fighting games this is the game to get or at least try out to see it bring back those good old games like street fighter.
Waring if you going to get this game use the classic controller it way better than the gamecube and the game suck with using the wiimote. just a very handy note
Live or Die. Fight!Nov 20, 2008
By Scott Z. Lewis
The game moves great and after you get use to the odd controls with the wii mote it gets pretty fun with friends. But the final boss is just out right hard. It took me over an hour to beat the boss and with the cheap moves that she had all for one picture. But when not playing for that stuff the game is great and learning on making combos of your own is great.
plus game came on date so that is good.
Over the top fighting and over the top fun!Nov 11, 2008
By Nightmare
This game is the first Guilty Gear game I have ever owned, although not the first I've played. I only buy fighting games when I know I'll like them (such as Soul Calibur II and Super Smash Brothers Brawl), and this was no exception. The fast-paced action and just plain weird characters/techniques were too much for me to resist spending my money on. The challenge level--especially at the end of the Arcade mode--is ridiculously difficult. But the challenge is what makes it fun!
You can also choose to play simple VS. CPU battles rather than go through the Arcade mode, which is nice since beating the Arcade mode is extremely, mind-bogglingly hard. Multiplayer is obviously included and is very enjoyable. No story on the characters is included, which I know bothers some hard-core Guilty Gear fans, but it doesn't detract from the fun of playing the game.
The Wii exclusive controls take a serious learning curve. I've only tried it a little bit, but it's somewhat difficult to get used to. You swing the Remote and Nunchuk soft or hard to do light or heavy attacks. When combined with other buttons you can perform special moves, etc. I stick with the Gamecube controller personally, but that's just how I like playing traditional fighting games. Motion-sensing is fantastic for shooters, action games, and others genres, but fighting games are just fine with the old-fashioned method (not to say that some might not prefer the novelty of the Wii controls, because they are definitely interesting enough that I will likely try them again and try to master them).
In closing, if you want a seriously over the top fighting game with crazy characters, moves, speed, and adrenaline, then you should buy this game. If you want story or a light hearted/easy fighting game then you should avoid this like the plague.
