Sword of the Berserk

"In the end, Sword of the Berserk is a pretty good game that had a real chance to be a very good game. Visually, it's a treat to look at. The plot and characters are far more interesting than most of the other adventure games on the market. But the gameplay--the most crucial element--is sorely lacking."

"Nearly two-third of Guts' Rage takes place in in-game cinemas, and it is all so incredibly well put together, you sometime forget you're not watching an episode of the classic anime. Granted, I was so into the action that I often found myself waiting for the cast of characters to "get on with it" so I could get back to the madness."

"The story gains as much importance here as it would in an RPG, and cinematic sequences take up a surprisingly large portion of the game."

"The graphics are stunning. Although things seem a little too gray and brown at times, these colors are appropriate to the heavy atmosphere that the game's storyline seeks to convey."
