Gungrave

"Pretty Graphics, Cool Gameplay"

GunGrave

K.. First of all I would like to state that Gungrave is the most stylish and action packed game this year!

Style/Presentation:
What i reeelie like about this game is how stylish it is like it reminds me of an excellent anime series which is usually hard to find these days.. but the series Gungrave reminded me of the most was trigun!! but back to the presentation everything needed in a game like this is there: Amazing, AMAZING shockingly brilliant beautiful cut scenes omg what more can i stress about the cut scenes i would easily pay extra to watch these cut scenes they are absoloutly brilliant! next there are beautiful menus and they are easy to use and the onlie thing gungrave forgot to put in this package is a tutorial cuz wen i first started this game i didn reelie kno wat i was doing since it was all in japanese and i really needed a visual in-game tutroial but overal style/presentation deserves a 9/10

Comments(Nice everything, no tutorial)

Graphics/Visuals:
Whoo this looks like an anime series the visuals are dark and gloomy but a pinch of cel-shading/cartoony stuff is added in. it is absoloutly brilliant i love the character animations and the graphics in the cut scenes are wonderful absoloutly splendid everything visual about this game is wonderful. Except for the suffering frame-rate at some parts in the game that happends when you dodge shoot use a special and run @ the same time it suffers so much but beyond that this is an extremely pretty game.

Comments(So beautiful, sometimes slow framerate)

Sound/Audio:
Er... Maybe the only setback in the game.. but it's not all bad the sound effects are ok... i guess the gun sounds sound a little stiff the explosions the same... what more can i say? next the soundtrack/music is AMAZING so good i love listening to jazzy music while killing people!! and although the voices were totally in japanese it still sounded realie good.

Comments(Amazing soundtrack, good voices, bad soundeffects)

Gameplay
Holy moly this game is fun!! this game is fast and furious action genre to the max. there are so many fun things to do in this game and you can destroy everything and use Super cool special attacks and also there is a major urge to keep playing this game to see the cut scene at the end of every level. Also the bosses are really fun to beat because they are sometimes pretty challenging and also the models of the bosses are truly a sight to behold.

Comments(So fun a must play)

Lasting Appeal
The game's length to me is unclear but as of the present moment this game has a lot of replay potential since it is so fun and im sure i will replay it just to watch some of the cinematics or just to beat the crap out of the baddies. and to play the game through with the secrets.

Comments(U must play this game @ least 3 times through)

Value
I'm not reallie sure about this one because the length of this game is unclear to me since i didn't finish it yet so i might not be able to judge this one correctly but the value of this game is surely good since it is a very fun and pretty game.
