Kasavin commented that its "cohesive musical style ... further helps set this game apart." Dunham deemed it as having "One of the best soundtracks to come along for quite some time", and praised Sammy for keeping the original voice actors, as did Knutson, which felt it "gives it a 'cooler aura'." Keil and Knutson found the sound effects to be "excellent" and "really great" respectively. On the other hand, "GamePro" described the sound design as the game's "major flaw." "EGM" remarked "Depending on your tastes, "GGX2"s pervasive heavy-metal cheesiness might negatively influence your opinion of the game."
