    Has an elegant anime look that makes it a must-play East-meets-Western. [11 Oct 2002, p.86]

    It's very short--you'll play through it in an afternoon easily, unless you have trouble with the bosses, but the visuals and adrenalin-overdose gameplay make it one of the most visceral and fun PS2 action game I've played yet.

    I wish Grave was faster, had some cooler dodge moves, and the game played faster. So much style has all been squandered on a game that just doesn’t seem that fun to play after the first hour or so.

    Super-cool and super fun. Most stylish game I have played (and I have played over 200). It is a masterpiece of gaming art conception. The fact that it is very short prevents it from being boring - you will for sure play this again in the future, unlike say any FF or other super lenghty game. So in th e enb you will no doubt get more than 30 hours of play out of it, only it will be because you will want to play it 20 times in the next 2 years.… Expand

    While the gameplay may be a bit on the shallow side, Gungrave never ceases to amuse till the last cel shaded movie. The easiest way to describe it would be Devil May Cry with no puzzles and much more style.… Expand
