Reception
Accent Core Plus has received positive reviews, with higher scores being awarded to the PS2 version and slightly lower scores towards the Wii port. IGN gave the PS2 version a 7.8, commending the unlockables but criticizing the lack of change in terms of sprites and the soundtrack. The Wii version got a lower score of 7.0, with criticism aimed at the default Nunchuck control-scheme, saying players are better off purchasing a Classic controller or using a GameCube controller to play. Modojo gave the PSP version a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, lauding the large amount of gameplay options and unlockables but disliking the D-pad controls, saying that players will have to change the control settings frequently.
Trivia
- Almost all stages from Guilty Gear XX: Slash are unlockable by clearing certain tasks in the game. But Justice and Kliff are the only two that don't have stages from XX: Slash. The stages from GGXX: Slash color can be change into #Reload by pressing a certain code.
