Not a Bad Game, Good For Collection
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
With 32 volumes of the manga on my shelf and two tattoos on my body, it's fair to say that I am a real Berserk fan. I made a point to get my hands on this game as quickly as I could, since I'm also a game collector and it just made sense. When I actually popped it in, I found that it plays a lot like the PS2 Berserk game: Millenium Falcon which is probably a good thing, since it works. This is a game for fans of the hack 'n slash and beat 'em up genres of games. You, as Guts, will be stringing together combos of gore with your massive sword, arm cannon, repeating crossbow, and mini bombs. If any of that sounds bizarre, then Berserk may be too over-the-top for you.
For the Berserk die-hards out there, it is important to note that this game does not follow the main story. Taking place between the third and fourth story arcs, this is a side-story penned by Miura for the sake of the game. At times it feels a little too bizarre, too anime cliché if you will, but then you aren't buying this old manga-themed Dreamcast game for top-notch storytelling, are you? If you are just looking for a good title for your Dreamcast but you've already bought every game with the SEGA developer logo on it, then Berserk should keep you entertained, but it isn't the easiest game to find anymore, so keep an eye out for a well-priced one.
Long live the Dreamcast.
