PlayStation 2 Critic Reviews

Has it where it counts, however, as it offers a really good looking version of the anime characters. Additionally, it plays out cutscenes in the game engine that looks almost as good as most modern anime.

If you like fast and furious shooters that are based on cool Anime flicks then this game should be just right up your alley.

The game has very solid gameplay, just the right length and best of all it is worth a mere $15. If you're even slightly interested in either the franchise or shooters; you should pick this up.

You could do much worse for $15, and though GGOD isn’t going to win any GOTY awards, it’s a solid, fun, albeit mostly mindless action game that does what it promises, and unlike the first Gungrave, it does what it promises very well.

One hell of a fun game to play, especially for only $15US.

Occasional jankiness is made up for by a ridiculously low price and copious shooter goodness.

When Gungrave is at its best, it's an extremely entertaining action game with a satisfying storyline. At its worse, it's still pretty repetitive and about as deep as a wading pool. Overdose doesn't break any new ground, but still manages to be a great waste of time.

It's mindless repetition, frenetic gameplay and attention deficit visuals is the epitome of shallowness and yet the involving storyline contradicts everything that's happening onscreen. It's a paradox. A dichotomy. Ah, whatever it is, it's a hoot while it lasts.

While the length of the game would usually warrant a rental, because of the reduced price tag this is a bargain worth a purchase for anyone who loves third person action games.

A very entertaining game that contains nothing but combat. This isn't the kind of game I'll spend a month of my time with (it's too short and repetitive for that). However, will I come back to it in a few months? You bet.
