Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage

"What a great game!"

Have you ever wanted to control a movie? Well this is what it seems like to me. This is one of those games (not too many right now) that you control a man and fight in a battle field (which is similar to gameplay of Dynasty Warriors 2 on the Playstation 2) full of monsters and sometimes men.

Gameplay (10/10): This is one of those games that get you pumped up and want to go out and save the day by killing monsters. Well, that is all you do in this game. But it is a great game! You also have a lot of different weapons you can use, well sorta. You have your sword, which is bigger than Guts. Then you can use your fists, a fist cannon, smoke bombs, and throwing daggers.

Story (10/10): You are this guy named Guts, who travels with a girl and a fairy(hehe, not really a fairy but an elf, it is just funny to say it) and you run into some girl who is a traveling act. She gets attacked by some bandits and you have to help her. Well, the story gets more involved than that, but trust me, you will enjoy this game.

Controls (10/10): The controls on this game are so easy to learn, that you can master them within ten to fifteen minutes. For example, if you want to put up or take out your sword, all you have to do is push the L-trigger.

Sound/Music (10/10): The music and sound are just amazing. The voices sound really good and match up with mouths excellent.

Overall (10/10): This is one of the best games for the Sega Dreamcast as of yet. The only downside to this game is the game is short. But what makes it better is the fact that you have to beat it on four different difficulties and you can unlock a lot of different features. You can get stuff like a battle arena, which will let you go back and play all the bosses to try to get a high score on them. You can get a mini game called Puck's mini game. Puck is the elf I told you about earlier. You can get No limit mode, which will let you have infinite ammo in like the arm cannon.

To buy or rent??: Well considering you can get it really cheap right now, I would say you would have to be crazy not to buy this game!
