Decent game, but too short

Pros Great graphics, nice storyline
Cons Too short
Recommended it? No

Lately in the past couple of months Eidos Interactive has begun to phase numerous pieces of Dreamcast software into their already packed line up. While all of the game so far have been ports of previously released titles, their latest is actually a US translation of a violence and gore-filled... Read full review »

Pros Beautiful graphics, amazing sound, nice cinemas, lots of gore.
Cons Gets repetitive, no 2 player mode.
Recommended it? Yes

"What's this?" I thought when IGN.com first ran it's preview on an unknown, under-hyped Dreamcast game known as Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage. "Goriest game ever" I read in the preview. "May be worth checking out" I thought. So, last April when it was finally released in stores, I bought it at... Read full review »

Pros its so bad you don't mind trashing it in the middle of the game
Cons it sucks
Recommended it? Yes

When I first heard and read of this game it seemed to have promise. Back in those days when most Dreamcast games were just distant specs on the horizon it seemed that they all would be great and ground breaking. It seemed they simply couldn't go wrong. When you read about them in the magazines and... Read full review »

Remember the old days of video games where you didn't have to think? You could just roam around with non-stop action. The same can be said of Sword of the Berserk: Gut's Rage except on a more grand scale.

You play Gattsu, one of the two survivors of a clan of mercenaries that were... Read full review »

Pros Nice graphics/ Occassional fun while fighting armies of diseased townspeople
Cons Mediocre plot/ fighting exremely frustrating in most cases
Recommended it? Yes

"Sword of the Berserk" is a typical B game with its ups and downs. From the cover, pictures and descriptions on its case it looks to be an interesting game. Though looks can be decieving. The graphics are solid as expected for most dreamcast games. With nice lighting in some cases and the... Read full review »

Pros lots of blood, graphics are astonishing, great cinematics, great sound effects, great plot

Sword of the Berserk is the first visually stunning true to its roots anime game to be released in a VERY LONG TIME. Granted, the game play is nothing out of the ordinary, but the games value is much deeper than that. To truly enjoy SOB, you have to understand who the characters are and where they...

Pros The fights are fun and full of lots of chopping
Cons Static cameras during fights, long interludes
Recommended it? No

This is a strange game if you ask me. There should be no doubt in your mind when you load it up of what the game is going to be like. A big guy, with an even bigger sword who at times goes berserk. There, you know what the game is like - A LOT of chopping. That's not to say it's bad. Our hero, Guts... Read full review »

Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage

Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage is an action game with phenomenally good graphics but overly simplistic gameplay. You fill the shoes of the main character, Guts, and spend most of your time smiting foes with his seven-foot monster of a sword, Dragon Slayer. Some levels provide the best hack-and-slash gaming to be found anywhere, but usually Sword of the Berserk is more cheap than challenging. We certainly felt rage when boulders began falling on Guts's head at random during one level and the designers took great pains to populate most of the levels with dozens of tiny ankle-biting enemies that are nigh impossible to hit. Unfortunately the lack of combat moves, weapon upgrades, or anything else that could have spiced up gameplay makes Sword of the Berserk far more tedious than it should be for gamers. What really distinguishes this game from other gore games is the eloquent integration of storyline- enhancing cut-scenes that are gorgeously rendered with the game engine. There is over an hour of noninteractive story line to sit through--so many scenes that this almost qualifies as an interactive movie. If mindless combat and a compelling story sound appealing, Sword of the Berserk is what you've been waiting for. Parents should note that this game is particularly violent, and may not be suited for young children. --T. Byrl Baker Pros: Beautiful graphics Gory, visceral combat Outstanding production values Cons: Repetitive gameplay Level design sometimes cheap
