First - I'll say the one good thing I can, which is that the RTS mechanics have some interesting ideas.

the gameplay is okey, you're given 7 playable characters, each one of them has a different gameplay style. the Soundtrack is rockish, you already know guilty gear for it's rockish cool soundtracks, over half of the latter is given for free by the devs as a bonus for owning the game and graphically the game looks beautiful, for a 2007 game .
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.

I could see this game being fun to boot up once in a while to play a skirmish or against a friend in the multiplayer.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.

i've bought this game years ago unaware of the fact that it's a bad port of the game : you cannot change the resolution, there are no graphical options and you cannot change the keyboard controls, so the usage of a controller is highly recommended.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
