Guilty Gear 2: Overture Prologue (X360)

"The mix of action and strategy here offers an experience that can't be found in either genre by itself. Victory isn't ensured with technical skill or tactical prowess alone," said Michael Manzanares, Project Lead, Aksys Games. "The Guilty Gear team has been working countless hours on this title and we're proud with the end result. I hope fans of the series enjoy it as much as I have these past few months."

In the far future, humanity succeeded in developing an endless energy called the divine power. But although they were able to obtain wisdom, mankind could not cast aside their foolishness. Tension among the major powers led to the creation of biological weapons that were based on that power-Gears.

Justice, the only Gear able to command the legions of biological weapons, went berserk and declared war on all of humanity. That was the beginning of the worst war in history-The Crusades.

In response, mankind formed an order of elite knights, and with their participation, Justice was defeated. With her fall, all Gears ceased to function and entered a dormant state. The long-lasted Crusades came to an end, and it seemed like mankind restored peace.

However, true history has yet to reveal itself…

Realism:
