Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death is a first-person shootervideo game based on the Judge Dredd character from the 2000 AD comic series, developed by Rebellion Developments. It was released in 2003 in Europe, and was supposed to be released in March or April 2004 in the United States,[1][2] but was held back until early 2005.
Gameplay[edit]
The game is played from a first person perspective. The singleplayer campaign is made up of eleven levels in which the player takes the role of Judge Dredd and battles a series of criminals and undead vampires. Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty levels are available, as well as a cooperative mode.
The game features a 'law meter' which gauges the player's adherence to the laws of Mega-City One. This is depleted by firing on those who have not fired first, failing to challenge enemies before firing and firing upon civilians or criminals who have given up. When the meter is depleted entirely the game is over. After each campaign mission, the player is awarded a ranking of Cadet, Rookie, Street Judge, Senior Judge, or Judge Dredd. Completing singleplayer levels also unlocks at least one playable multiplayer character or map, depending on the player's performance.
The game also features arcade and multiplayer mode. In the arcade mode, the player must complete various challenges, earning cheat codes for each one completed with a high rank. There are 12 arcade challenges to complete. In the multiplayer mode, players compete with up to 3 friends, and up to 12 computer-controlled players in a deathmatch game. Online play is only available in the Windows version of the game.
Plot[edit]
Mega-City One is filled with 400 million people, each holding the potential for criminal activity. Judge Dredd is the city's law enforcer, respected by all Judges and feared by all crooks. The Psi Judges sense a horrible plague approaching the city, and the Dark Judges are their prime suspects. The release of viruses that change the host into a 'Vampire' or a 'Zombie' is blamed on Dr. Icarus and Judge Death. Judge Dredd is forced to fight the insane Dr. Icarus (who almost becomes immortal, his original plan was to find a way to become immortal, not make vampires) and the Dark Judges. The last time Dredd fights Death, Death uses Icarus's immortal body to fight Dredd, but is ultimately defeated and Death flees into Judge Anderson's body, who had been held there against her will.
Novel[edit]
Gordon Rennie wrote a Dredd vs. Deathnovelization, published by Black Flame, as a tie-in to the game (October 2003, ISBN1-84416-061-0). The novel alters the storyline somewhat in that certain events which in the game happened to Dredd are given to other judges such as Judge Giant and Anderson. Galen DeMarco also plays a prominent role.

The game received 'mixed' reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[14][15][16][17]
Some areas of complaints were weak A.I., lackluster graphics, overly bizarre character models, and simplistic gameplay. However, the game was praised for its multiplayer and arcade mode, which contains over a dozen maps and several playable characters and modes, similar to that of TimeSplitters 2. The arcade mode was also noted as being superior compared to the campaign (IGN said it 'adds some spice to an otherwise boiled and blanched game'[8]). IGN concluded, 'Fans of the fiction will finally appreciate a style that keeps its faith, but will wonder how this game could have done its source material the same sort of disservice the decade old movie did',[8] negatively comparing it to the 1995 film Judge Dredd.
Download bully scholarship edition apk. GameSpot were more ambivalent about the game, calling it a 'short, simplistic shooter that's not worth even its budget price,' and concluding that 'It's not embarrassingly bad, but you're better off waiting for your next paycheck and then sinking in the extra cash into any of the much better full-priced shooters readily available on all four platforms.'[7] Many game magazine publishers gave early reviews on the game about a year before it was released in the United States.[3][6][10][11][12][13][2]

Judge Dredd is an action video game for the Super NES, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Game Gear and Game Boy originally released in 1995. The game is loosely based on the 1995 film Judge Dredd, which was a spin off from the Judge Dredd strip from 2000AD.[1]
Gameplay[edit]
The game allows players to arrest enemies instead of executing them.
Judge Dredd Game
The game features run and gun gameplay with a variety of weapons. The player is given a choice to either execute criminals or arrest them.
Levels range from the major futuristic city known as Mega-City One, a prison in a post-nuclear wasteland, ruins and a showdown with the rogue Judge Rico Dredd.[2]
Plot[edit]
In the 22nd century, everybody lives in the urban areas of the world.[3]Police officers and lawyers have been abolished and only the Judges are in complete control of human society.[3] One of them, Judge Dredd, must pursue the renegade Judge Rico and Mega-City's most dangerous criminals. Eventually, Dredd defeats Rico and wins a final battle with the Dark Judges to rescue Mega-City.[4]
Development[edit]
For seven of the game's 12 levels, the backgrounds were created by digitizing sets from the movie; the remaining five levels use backgrounds based on the comic book.[5]
Ports[edit]
A conversion of the game was in development for the Atari Jaguar CD after Atari Corporation and Acclaim announced their partnership in March 1995 that included plans to release three titles for the system, but Judge Dredd was later licensed to Atari Corp. months after the announcement of the partnership and was planned for a Q4 1995 release, but the port went unreleased for unknown reasons.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
Reception[edit]

The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly criticized that the game's bosses are overly difficult, but generally approved of Judge Dredd for its large levels and selection of weapons, with one of their reviewers remarking that 'What Judge Dredd lacks in originality, it more than makes up for in playability.' They were much more critical of the Genesis version, which they said suffers from inferior graphics, sound, and most importantly, control compared to the SNES version.[12] Similarly, GamePro criticized the game's lack of originality but praised the large levels, selection of weapons, and the ability to arrest enemies instead of killing them. They too gave the Genesis version a more negative review on account of inferior graphics and sounds.[16]
Electronic Gaming Monthly reviewed that the game 'translates surprisingly well to the Game Boy', with most of the levels and graphical effects of the home versions, but that the Game Boy version also suffers from inferior sound quality.[13]GamePro's review of the Game Boy version criticized that Judge Dredd is overly similar to previous handheld action/adventure games and has so-so controls, but concluded, 'Is Judge Dredd tough? Not guilty. Is it terrific? Not guilty. Is it worth playing? Guilty.'[17]
Next Generation reviewed the Genesis version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that 'in the end, Judge Dredd is guilty of one thing, it's yet another side-scroller.'[14]
Next Generation reviewed the SNES version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that 'while it's well animated and tightly designed, that still doesn't make Judge Dredd very interesting.'[15]
