Guilty Gear: Dust Strikers for Nintendo DS Reviews by Gamers

NICE!!! :) Guilty Gear Dust Strikers delivered decent game play for a 2d fighter similar to the Super Smash Brothers series. The level/stages were just basic ports for the various other GG games so there wasn't much new there. Only the platform style made a difference. The characters' animation retained most of their sprites along with some new animation that only true fans would have notice. The random items & the item boxes that appeared during battles made sometimes feel like a race between who got the item first at times. The story of the game was a bit absent in my POV, especially when it came to Bridget. Bridget is a boy not a girl. The boss battle, new boss Gig (new character, a weird looking digimon reject whale with multiple arms & an angel for a tail... yeh.), felt like a game of tag at times & got annoying when trying to execute moves in time for a hit. The mini games where a bit odd. Some less fun than others.

Sadly i was disappoint in the lack of mode of play. Especially the lack of a training mode. I wondered why wasn't there an adventure mode, similar to GG Judgment, a part of this package. It would have been a nice change from the platform jumping fighting, which did get old fast. Maybe I hoped for to much.

I hope maybe in the future to see another GG game for the ds again. Maybe the creators should take a page from the BLEACH ds games. Basically if you're a fan of the series like me it should fill that want to beat up some one feeling on your ds.
