Editorial Reviews :
Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage is an action game with phenomenally good graphics but overly simplistic gameplay. You fill the shoes of the main character, Guts, and spend most of your time smiting foes with his seven-foot monster of a sword, Dragon Slayer.
Some levels provide the best hack-and-slash gaming to be found anywhere, but usually Sword of the Berserk is more cheap than challenging. We certainly felt rage when boulders began falling on Guts's head at random during one level and the designers took great pains to populate most of the levels with dozens of tiny ankle-biting enemies that are nigh impossible to hit. Unfortunately the lack of combat moves, weapon upgrades, or anything else that could have spiced up gameplay makes Sword of the Berserk far more tedious than it should be for gamers.
What really distinguishes this game from other gore games is the eloquent integration of storyline-enhancing cut-scenes that are gorgeously rendered with the game engine. There is over an hour of noninteractive story line to sit through--so many scenes that this almost qualifies as an interactive movie. If mindless combat and a compelling story sound appealing, Sword of the Berserk is what you've been waiting for. Parents should note that this game is particularly violent, and may not be suited for young children. --T. Byrl Baker
Buyer Reviews :
Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage is summed up as this: it's one hell of a game. In fact, its pretty much an interactive movie with over an hour of dramatic cinemas, but thats a good thing. The storyline is quite possibly the best I've ever heard of in a video game, revolving around a mercenary named Guts who is desperate to find a cure for his lover Casca who is suffering from a disease leaving her with the mind of a child, and is accompinied by a naked flying elf named Puck. There is a disease in the village that causes people to have the same symptoms Casca has, but I won't spoil any more surprises from there. Guts carries with him a sword called Dragon Slayer, which measures taller than Guts, and when you fight hordes and hordes of enemies, you learn why he is called Guts in the first place. It's simple hack and slash action with a superb storyline (based on a Japanese manga), incredible graphics (rivaling those of Code: Veronica, Alone in the Dark, and Sonic), and some of the best game music you'll ever hear. An overlooked gem of a game, if you own a Dreamcast you should own this, it's that damn good.
