Frustrating, Plain Frustrating!

This entire game and gameplay is nearly worthless. The camera angles, control and character movement are all entirely awkward. Additionally, the game has only save points after you complete the level. Generally, that would be somewhat excusable as in Eidos' Fear Effect for its difficulty, but this game isn't even difficult per se: just that your characters are very clumsy and move like tanks. There are few things in this game that actually bring the game from receiving a negative (as in below 1 star and below 0 star rating). First, the cover art is absolutely spectacular and the art inside is absolutely great. Second, the soundtrack within the game is excellent. Lastly, the inclusion of the Danger Girls is great! However, do not buy this game for the gameplay! You will be disappointed and annoyed. Just buy it for the game manual for the art on top and within, and the beautiful CD design!

Poor woman's Syphon Filter/Tomb Raider

Another example of a great idea that was poorly executed. Plays like a cheapened version of Syphon Filter or Tomb Raider. Like Tomorrow Never Dies, the wrong people got the rights to publish this title. Poor play control, medicore graphics, and insanely difficult mission goals. At least I only paid $30 for it :)

this game could use some improvements.......

I love a good challange in a game, but this...I dont think so. My first complaint is the saving. You can only save after you complete a level and I have died endlessly trying to beat the levels! Some saving points in the middle of the levels would have really been nice. Also, where did this chick in the red sports-bra come from? She isn't even featured in one Danger Girl comic. The comic only had seven issues that where released by the year or years (Some people even had time to make this game during the time spand of after issue 6, but before issue 7.) And if you have time, go to your local comic store and buy at least the 7th issue of the Danger Girl comic to see how different the story in the game drifts from the real thing. I think the people who made this game figured that there would be no issue 7 so decided to make up their own storyline to complete the story. Then Danger Girl #7 came out in stores and showed a magnificent ending/way to start another series. I have always been a fan for the Danger Girl comics since they started to be released, but sadly, I'm not a big fan for the game.

Lets hope it's more frequent

Well anyone how has bought the comic knows about their problems of getting it out. I can't even remember how many months ago the last issue they released. Don't get me wrong i like the comic and the art is good, but they really need to improve how often it comes out. All we can hope for is that in this game we don't have to wait five months for each level of the game.

NO NATALIA KASTLE

MY BIGGEST GRIPE WITH THIS GAME WAS THAT THEY KILLED OFF NATALIA KASTLE IN ISSUE 6 OF DANGER GIRL AND THEN BEFORE ISSUE 7 EVEN CAME OUT THEY INTRODUCE THIS CHICK J.C. I WISH YOU COULD HAVE PLAYED AS NATALIA. AFTERALL, SHE WAS A DANGER GIRL UP TO ISSUE 6.

Some clunky points, but great concept and tone.

Danger Girl is basically another Tomb Raider/Syphon Filter clone. While the mechanics of Danger Girl can't compare to Syphon Filter's highly intuitive, instantly comfortable controls, it has to its advantage a cast of great characters, good artwork, enjoyable voice work, and the Danger Girl franchise, which gives this game a more varied backdrop than usual. Unfortunately the controls are really quite hard to grasp -- the "toggle" quality of the crouch and aim options (most games, Medal of Honor and Syphon Filter, let you aim only when you hold down the button, which makes more sense) makes controlling your character all the slower. And your character onscreen really moves at a pathetic speed, so that most of the time evading enemy attack (and spotting the enemy in the first place) becomes annoyingly difficult. What bugs me the most is the lack of a checkpoint system in this game, and the environments often are not what they seem -- eg. you can see a crack between the tree and the wall, but you won't be able to move past it, and your character will "freeze" if she hits a surface). I still find Danger Girl a fun experience, and it looks and sounds good (especially the cinematic sequences and the spunky voice work). Not quite the meisterwerk that Syphon Filter 2 was, but still good playing.

Here's a game to Chase those boring afternoons away

If you're a fan of the comic book you won't be disappointed with the presentation of our favorite Danger Girls in this 3rd person shooter. To add a little extra to the experience (and for buying this game) Campbell and Hartnell fans will get the chance to see the manual exclusive sketches as well as be introduced to JC - the newest Danger Girl. All loading screens are also original so you aren't going to see these anywhere but here.

There's nothing really new about the 3rd person shooter, however, the opportunity to play Abbey, Sydney and JC makes for interesting adventuring. Each character has special skills which you'll get a chance to utilize. The graphics leave much to be desired for the most part. Its easy to get stuck behind an object and not have a way to get out - luckily there is the auto save option. There is also an auto-aim feature if you don't want to fiddle around with having to aim yourself although you can shut that off for more challenging situations. There are plenty of hidden items and you'll have to put two and two together for some adventures. Its not just a shooter - you'll have to finish some "quests" in order to proceed and be prepared to act quickly. Enemies are fully aware of their surroundings. If you keep this in mind, you will be less likely to just saunter in to a situation that will prove fatal. You will have picked up night vision goggles early on so use that to your advantage! Radars and stealth abilities will be your ally - practice makes perfect.

Overall, its not a bad game. Its easy to bite the dust the first several times as you get used to the controls. Danger Girl fans will find the game a great addition to their collection.

It may be me, but who is that third girl on the cover? It might have to do with the fact is that they can't get the issues out. Even this game was subject to countless delays. You do have to say that they put some time in on this game.

A GREAT IDEA!

Danger Girl is the coolest comic book out there and is a great idea for a video game! Unlike other games, in Danger Girl you get to pick from 3 different super sexy spy girls to control. Each one has there own special weapons and moves. One is a knife expert, one use a lot of cool guns and bombs, and one even has a whip! This is going to be one of the best Playstation games and probably one of the last Playstion 1 games. I hope they make a Danger Girl 2 for PS2 with even more girls to control!

Great Comic Tie-in

For the fans of the Danger Girl Comic series this is a dream come true. It reads like a chapter of the comics -- except in a playable game format.

Okay, so the controls get a little stiff at times, especially when you're trying to target a Hammer dude and he's already shooting at you, but a skilled player can worl their way around that.

I liked this game so much that I played it through THREE TIMES IN A ROW.

Okay, yes there are similarities to Tomb Raider, Secret Agent and James Bond (Did anybody take notice that the old guy looks and sounds a lot like Sean Connery?), but that's part of the fun.

My only real complain about the game, is that they could have made the graphics between the movie sequences and the actual game closer in style.
