Arrests are fun for about two levels, and then you notice the same few sayings keep repeating when you slap the cuffs on perps.
-
Cheat Code CentralI hereby decree Dredd vs. Death to be an inferior product. My ruling is that the game should be executed.
-
Edge MagazineYour main objective is the bane of the modern FPS: follow a little blue arrow while shooting things, with the odd escort or protect responsibility thrown in to make you turn around occasionally. It's average justice dished out to the licence, but nothing more. [Christmas 2003, p.121]
-
A depressingly face-value take on a dystopian future that works neither as a game or a parody, except of itself. There's some humor in each arrest procedure, but it wears thin quickly.
-
Rebellion has taken a sci-fi world tailor-made for an FPS game and created a title that feels like it could have been made six years ago.
-
It's a short, simplistic shooter that's not worth even its budget price.
-
For those starved action gamers in need of an immediately accessible fix, there is still some strange sense of joy to be found in pointlessly gunning down the minions of evil in colorful environments.
-
But for the crimes of middling graphics and dull-as-dirt game play, we sentence Dredd vs. Death to eternal burial in the discount bin at Costco. Court adjourned.
-
Other genre entries could learn a thing or two from this game for multi-functional weapons and minimized load times.
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineIt's mercifully short but painfully boring. [May 2004, p.97]
-
PSM MagazineOkay in the short term, but there are far too many superior FPS out there. [May 2004, p.38]
-
TotalGames.netMore than any other game around, Dredd vs Death is destined to be a real fan favourite. Sure, we love the Lawgiver, in places the visual style works well, but generally this is a run-of-the-mill FPS dogged by an adherence to the laws of Dredd’s world. This is little more than a dependable shooter.
-
There's a very limited, repetitive number of enemy types (whose quickly depleted voiceovers get annoying), and the core combat is solid, but uninspired (circle-strafe, reload, repeat).
