I haven't gotten around to it due to not having an Japan import-compatible PS2. I probably would've bought the game day one if it got a localized western release, but sadly, that didn't happen. Overall, Sengoku Basara X Cross has a Guilty Gear X vibe in terms of visuals.. some of the backgrounds and sprites are impressive, yet pretty 'clashy' at the same time. I heard the gameplay is broken, but if I ever get around to playing this game, I'll give it a fair shake. ~TFG Webmaster Click Here for all screenshots!
