Thank you Red!
Gungrave Overdose is a breath of fresh air on this console, but to be honest, if you want to really appreciate this title play Gungrave. It is based on this fact that I rate it so high! The camera, sound, music, physics, graphics and most importantly the movement have been revamped for this higher budget sequel of this cult manga. The new found freedom with your movement is your savior in this high paced game as you assume the role of the un-dead Grave to blow through everyone in your way. you have new specials but the ability to heal yourself is not available from the beginning. The only downside that I see with Overdose is the fact that the target switch is utterly useless! Completley needed, but nonexsistant in the first game. This new ability is nothing but a mere hinderance and WILL GET YOU KILLED if you keep trying to use it. Also I liked it when the phrase "Kick their BLANK" just crashed together when the level loaded. In this game they opted out to give it it's own full screen which I thought was kind of lame. The game was based off of the manga written by the same creator as Trigun. So nothing at all falls short in that catoglory. Sound is way better from screams to gunshots. All in all Gungrave = rent - Gungrave Overdose = BUY ME!!!

Explosions are pretty.
Any game that stars an undead dude with two guns and a giant coffin that he can swing at people gets me interested. Even moreso when the beginning of every stage exclaims "Kick Their A22 (gamefly censorship is wow)!!" Gungrave Overdose... I mean, wow. This game is really a lot of what you're used to and you get the gist of how it'll play like within the first few minutes, but it's a fine and dandy guilty pleasure with funny cutscenes and arcade style shoot-'em-up action. If you're a fan of the anime, you might enjoy the game a bit more but it's not required. In fact, this game is Devil Kings with guns so just plow through hundreds of people with guns blazing, hit dudes in the face with a coffin, and wreck everything in sight - like cars or supermarket aisles.<br><br>The controls are super easy to get the hang of, but the camera and lock on functions seem broken or at least not completed. I mean, you don't really need to lock on to anyone at all since you can blast holy vengeance through anything you're facing, including any and all pillars or walls blocking your aim. A lot of the game is lacking music, sadly, but most of what you'll hear are muffled Virtua Cop sounding voice overs and lots and lots of gunshots and explosions. The boss music, however, is crazy and is guaranteed to pump you up. By the time you see "Kick Their A22!!" again, you've got that evil grin going.<br><br>My main problem with the game besides the lockon/camera? Devil Kings with guns. You're sure to get bored of the run, blast everything that exists, run, blast everything that exists formula eventually and will put the game down for a bit. But I doubt this game was meant to be taken more seriously and I personally think it should be treated as a guilty pleasure gaming experience where you can just cut through loads of enemies whenever you're feeling the urge to blow stuff up instead of writing some MySpace poetry to Fort Minor.

I have to Disagree with the Rest of the reviewers
This might have been an ok game if the camera wasent such a Mess 99.999999999999999999999% of the time you have no idea where your at or where the enemies are. and why is it that game programers make games where no matter how many enemies that You Kill they Spawn more and more and more of them and whats up with Bosses that You cant hurt Sure you can use their Missle back on them but why it doesnt do anything to might knock them down but i hit one boss over 50 times and I still couldnt hurt him let alone Kill him. and another thing that is really bad about this game is the way the controlls are set up even though you can customize them the way the game plays and the way the controlls work just dont go together. I wouldnt rent this game unless you like being frustrated to no end. This one is a No rent and a definatly NO BUY. Hope One of these days the Programers will actually try playing the Game before they release it because if this game is an Example of Programing they do now then it Looks like gamers are going to be getting alot of games that arent worth the cost of the Disc they are on

NOT BAD FOR ANIME
YOU WOULD HAVE TO AN OLD ATARI LOVER TO REALY LIKE THIS ONE. THE GAME IS WELL JUST LIKE OLD DUKE NUKEM. THE CAMERA AND ACTION IS SLUGGISH FOR THE ACTION REQUIRED BY THE GAMER AND THE VIDEO ANGLE IS POORLY PLACED THROUGH 90 PERCENT OF THE GAME. FOR A FIERST PERSON SHOOTER GAME YOU MIGHT NOT WANT THIS ONE. YOU CAN BASICALLY BLAST YOUR WAY THROUGH WITH NO MIND SET OTHER THAN MOVE REVIVE AND SHOOT. IT TOOK LESS THAN 4 HOURS TO BEAT THE GAME ON DIFFICULT AND ON MOST LEVELS JUST RUNNING THROUGH WITH GUNS BLAZING IS ALL IT TOOK. NOT MY BEST THOUGHT FOR ANY SERIOUSE GAMER BUT A PERFECT 10 FOR YOUR SMALL KIDS!!!
