1/3
JUDGE DREDD - THE VIDEO GAME
COMMENT SHEET.
Why Did It Fail ?
1) Total approach not right for time of release. kids all want
to fight/compete against each other,not work with each other.
ideways p!nch kick/path games not pop!lar at this c!rrent time.
") First wa#e way to long, gets monotono!s too $!ickly.
%) ho!ld &e at least two more enemies to fight in wa#e one,
There sho!ld &e more di#ersity of&eha#ior &etween
enemies
') (nly new thing as yo! go on thro!gh wa#e one is the
&ackgro!nd
) *ot eno!gh special mo#es on Dredds part
+) The eight angle attacking is sometimes conf!sing, almost as
if too m!ch control is gi#en to theplayer.
) The game gi#es yo! no feeling of accomplishment. When the wa#e
is o#er the player is leftfeeling -so what ?-.
) There is not eno!gh -o#er&oard- acti#ities going on. The
animations are not eaggeratedeno!gh, not eno!gh is made of
eplosions etc.
0) There are no skills to the game. (ne player doesn-t feel like
he is getting &etter. What is thereto learn &esides where
the secret shields are ?
1) The control of Dredd doesn-t feel $!ite right, either he
doesn-t react fast eno!gh or he reactstoo fast. 2lso the physics of
the 3!mp and 3!mp kick are not right.
11) The &ackgro!nd is too detailed and -&!sy-, the
players eyes are drawn to what is going on&ehind them rather
than on the play itself.
1") Too m!ch memory was spent on the &ackgro!nds rather than
the principle characters
1%) The colors on all the principle characters were washed o!t,
not &right eno!gh.
1') The &ackgro!nd colors were not dark and fore&oding
eno!gh, 4ega 5ity 1 is s!pposed to &ea dark, 6othic place not
&right with pastel shades.
1) The &alance for one player is off, it is far easier to
play with two or three players than 3!st withone , which is &y
far the ma3ority of play.
1+) The first &oss, Fink 2ngel is neither f!n to play nor is
he a challenge. 2lso, it is not eplainedwho a half naked scrawny
r!nt is &eating the crap o!t of a trained law enforcement
officer. Thisdoesn-t make sense.
1) The sewer wa#e is not necessary and hinders the action
1) The holographic target shoot o!t is f!n to point, &!t
ser#es no p!rpose in the game.
10) The citi7en walking across the &ack of the street does
not respond to all the #iolence andmayhem going on in the play
area. The only reaction is when she is hit. This does not make

2/3
sense.
") There is not eno!gh interaction with the &ackgro!nd. What
there is is hidden and there is nocl!e 8or incenti#e) to work it
o!t.
"1) The &lock war flying characters look wrong and don-t
make m!ch sense.
"") The licence has not &o!ght the game anything. *ot eno!gh
people know who 9!dge Dreddis and what the world he inha&its is
like. The game is f!ll of little points which Dredd officadoeswill
pick !p &!t are meaningless to the a#erage game player. Whilst
the fighting is &etter thanT!rtles or :;4en, they ha#e a m!ch
more readily identifia&le player image, which helps
themalong.
2lso, this licence pre#ents the player from fighting other
9!dges since it is a primary re$!isite thatthe 9!dges ne#er &e
seen to do anything which might &e constr!ed as &reaking
the law.
What Was 6ood ?
1) The ca&inet looked #ery cool.
") The game path concept was neat, altho!gh each mission sho!ld
ha#e &een part of a greatero#erall mission
%) edo the palettes for each of the principle characters making
more of their colors.
+) >edo the palettes for the wa#e 1 &ackgro!nd making it
seem more dark.
) 4ore interaction with &ackgro!nd
) >o&ot wa#e m!ch less diffic!lt, make enemies less
aggressi#e

3/3
0) 4ake &oss monsters react smarter and make their deaths
more impressi#e so a feeling ofaccomplishment is felt.
1) 6i#e more and &etter power!ps for the g!n.
11) 4ake the shooting gallery matter. 6i#e power!ps for the net
wa#e &ased on performance.
1") >e film Dredd, doing more, to allow for more secret
mo#es.
1%) erhaps ha#e some of the work of fighting done for yo!, ie
when p!nch &!tton pressed, makeDredd always face the nearest
enemy.
1') Wait !ntil the film comes o!t and ride the hype
