Judge Dredd is a popular English comic book figure and
was made into a film in the 90's with Sylvester Stallone rather weakly.
Now the Judges have created it also on the PC, in the form of a 3d shooter.
There is both a story and arcade mode. In the story procedure, it is a
matter of linear action around dark Judges - who are following orders
from the villain Judge Death. However, there are also other enemies such
as zombies and vampires. The Judge can not only rule on the guilt of his
enemies, but can also arrest them, and also straight away serve out any
punishment. Criminals are either shot or if they kneel they can be arrested.
The atmosphere of the town is fully brought to the game, even if the graphics
are rather mediocre. The controls were found to me a little bit spongy.
In the arcade mode there are single missions with which, for example,
you can go up against zombies and survive or to mix together various enemies
in a gang war. However, Judge Dredd with his first excursion on the PC
doesn't really stand out against other better movie adaptations, but it
clearly is stronger than for instance the recent Robocop. One can risk
a look. |
