Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs Death review:
+ The gameplay isn't pulse-pounding but the action level remains fairly high, which allows you to experience some really neat shootouts+ Solid graphics engine that features dated but still respectable visuals+ The shameless and excessive product placement for Red Bull is quite humorous- You can get stuck in between objects.
Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs Death review:
I remember the first time I saw Judge Dredd pretty clearly. It was at the opening of New York’s Forbidden Planet, a fantastic comic book and sci-fi-fantasy emporium that was quite a special place for a number of years. A friend introduced me to some of the comics that featured a mixture of biting topical humor and great art by some talented artists like Carlos Ezquerra (Dredd’s creator) and Brian Bolland, whose excellent line work became one of my many inspirations for a later attempt or three to get into comics. That’s a longer tale for my autobiography, so I’ll spare you the details and jump right to the reason you’re reading this. If you’re a fan of those old books and the 2000 A.D. universe or have no memories of the god-awful Americanized “buddy-flick” with Sylvester Stallone and Rob Schneider (bowdlerized bastardization is a closer adjective), you’ll probably appreciate Judge Dredd: Dredd versus Death. If you come into the game on a Halo 2 or Doom 3 high expecting a similar experience, you’ll feel disappointed but not at all ripped off as the game is retailing for a mere ten spot in some locations.
