Gungrave

Gungrave is the best anime-game and one of the best PS2 games. Fantastic movies mixed with spectacular dynamic gameplay. If you want non-stop action, Gungrave is just what you need. Action doesn't stop even while you are standing. In this games everybody shots every time. Gungrave is a good example of a great production design. The design of the main character (Brandon/Grave) is awesome. Bosses are wonderful. Absolutely different locations. Every level, like a new game. Good stylized animation. Especially when you are standing. Grave like a death-dancer and gives 1000 of bullets to his enemies. All this comes along with a good story.

But every great game has drawbacks. Gungrave has them too. First of all - the duration. Gungrave is a very short game. 6 levels only. Just 1,5 hours of game-play. Like a good movie. Then comes unbearable difficulty. One small disadvantage is graphics. It's a great stylized cartoon graphics. But when you approach the enemies, you can see scarecity of polygons. But it happens very seldom. You always have to run and shot everybody. And a very little disadvantage is a monotonous game-play. Sometimes you could get tired of infinite action. That's all. But all of these minuses are nothing. You will enjoy Gungrave. And you will play again and again, because it has many endings and a dozen of special features (production arts, an exclusive making of (after third end), and more).

To conclude with I can say, that a great production design, good story, amazing characters, hi-octane game-play, stylized graphics and spectacular inter-mission movies make Gungrave the best action game of PlayStation 2 and the best action game of the world. My Grade is A.
