Well now you can cut your patients/enemies into bits and pieces!!! You can actually chop some of your opponents in half and you see their insides for a second before their body disapears. This is a very bloody game and the action is very fast paced. Its not slow and time consuming like some resident evil games. Another great feature, is that this game has great movie sequences. I felt like I was watching a good computer animated DVD movie.
If you liked the furious acrtion and gore in Spawn the game, then you'll definitly love Sword of the Beserk.

Beautiful graphics, great story, but where's the game?

Booting this up the first thing that impressed me were the graphics. I was actually fooled into thinking the real-time into was a pre-rendered cut scene. The character design is really good, the story is interesting and has depth. The sound and effects are great. The only problem is that you spend 20% of the time playing the game and 80% watching the cut scenes, which you can skip but then have no idea what's going on in the story. The actual play scenes are fun, but do get a bit repetitive as they have the same 'hack everything to pieces' goal and your character doesn't seem to progress in any way (new weapons, skills, etc...) It's a lot more like a movie than a game, which is really unfortunate as it's obvious a lot of talented artists and programmers put a lot of hard work into it.

This game is the best

I love this game, the graphics are so smooth and the sound is great. It is something like an evil zelda. One thing I really like is the fact that you can actually choose your path in the game. During one of the numerous movies the game will tell you to push a button, if you do it in time you will take the easy route, if you don't you have to kill more enimies. Simply put this game rocks and anyone who likes pure mindless violence will love the game.

Raining blood!!!!

This is a great game! You run around with this huge sword chopping monsters in half in hope of saving your girl and trying to something so this guy can find a cure for the parasites in the people that make them monsters. You can hear the bone crushing sound as the sword slices thru the crazed monsters. If you get hit allot or hit people allot, a red meter goes up, once it is full, you are GODLIKE, you swing twice as fast and hit twice as hard, and almost always chop whatever creature you are hitting in half. In a very short time, the meter will go down, and you will be your old self again. In the time that your meter is red when you chop at the enemies they explode in half, Raining Blood!!! This sword is almost longer than he is, and Guts' is a tall guy. Now if you don't like gore than this is not the game for you.

Boring

There is nothing to do in this game its very redundant.Its only fun for 30 or so minutes...It is way too short also...But it is very detailed,like when you swipe your sword on the wall the sword will bounce back and make a spark and most games just have the sword go through the wall...The graphics are very good.The gameplay is ok,the guy swipes the sword fast as hell,the bosses are easy,or most of them are.I reccomend buying this game if you wont get tired of stuff and like a lot of bloodlust.

Berserk - More Than Just a Game

As others have said, the game is graphically very impressive and pushes the dreamcast to the limits. The cutscenes bespeak a much deeper plotline than is carried through in the game, however, and I decided to do a little research on it. Turned out that Berserk is a best-selling manga series (comic book) in Japan, and there was an animated series (25 episodes) released a few years ago. Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage is the entry point into a world of horror fantasy that is just breaking into North America.

This game is cool to the max,scenery is outstanding, music is to die for and the characters are interesting. The only thing that brings the enjoyment of the game down are the controls and limited items and weaponry. Forget about using the old D- pad my friends, the analog stick is the only way to get the job done. The gore and fighting scenes are to the extreme, though this guy swings a 7foot sword, which makes fighting in tight places a pain. At times, you will get fed up with most of the gameplay, because your chracter only has so many moves(which are quite slow)If only the makers of this game would have paid the same attention to the bare essentials of the game,as they did with the graphics, this game would be top notch.If you are a serious gamer such as myself, then I reccomend sticking to Soul Calibur.

Great Graphics, Good Story

This game has alot of gore and blood which is cool to see for a change. The gameplay can get a little repetitive and it's way to easy to win, but its fun to play. The sword is too big and gets caught on walls which is really annoying, especially when you are getting your fanny kicked. But overall, this is a fun game which I recommend if you like adventure games that don't pull any punches.

A good scrolling fighter!

I rented this game and beat it within 4 hours, it was quite hard in some parts but not quite challanging. The graphics, sound, and voice acting is really good, and there is more blood and gore in it than I have ever seen on a console game! Baron Ballsack has a great name too! The only problem was that I didn't seem to be playing very often, there are too many cut scenes, and not enough fights. There could have been more weapons too. Worth Renting.

Once played, you'll be HOOKED

When it say for mature 17+, they meant it. With Guts 7-foot sword, you are bond to go berserk yourself. The game features: 30 types of grotesque enemies, each with unique and fearsome attacks; fight in two combat modes ( including the devastating Berserk rage), powerful combination moves and four weapons Guts possess; over 1 hour of engrossing cinematic movie sequences; superb high resolution graphics with fluid combat animations; quick time events within each level test reflexes and increae the action. This game is not for the faint at heart.
