Droll Premise

If you don't know superhero Dredd, his thing is he doesn't just foil opponents. First he arrests them. Then he tries them. Then he convicts them. Then he executes them. All in about 10 seconds.

This is droll. Is it satire of the right? Or fodder for the right?

Beats me. With this fine game you can try it from the Dredd perspective.

I Don't Dread This Game

Judge Dredd vs Death for the Xbox is a first person shooter (FPS) where you play as judge dredd. You might enjoy this game more if you watched and liked the movie or comic book it is based on. As Judge Dread you have authority to arrest, judge and execute criminals. By a simple push of a button serveral times your character will yell out "put your hands where i can see them, or you're under arrest". You push a diffrent button and you will handcuffs them. Most of the times though you have to blast criminals with your gun called the "lawgiver". The lawgiver gun is a small pistol you start out with has serveral firing modes: incinderary, armour piercing, richochet, rapid-fire and single fire. I really enjoyed using this gun because it was easy and fun to use! Later into the game you'll acquire the typical weapons found in most (FPS) like shotguns, sniper rifle, grenades and energy/laser weapons. Most of the levels have you shooting it out with street gangs and members of a crazy cult, but you'll also be shooting at demon-vampire creatures. I really enjoyed the level designs with futuristic cityscape and flying cars and has that cyber-punk look. There are also mini games and extra characters that can be unlocked for multiplayer mode. The problem with the game is that it feels too generic and the character designs have a super deformed look to them. With so many better (FPS)out there, dredd just doesn't bring anything new to the table.

Pros:
+excellent weapons

-no usuable vehicles
