better than the first, and it's cheaper too

User Rating: 8.4 | Gungrave OD PS2
Gungrave overdose, is a big step up from the first game, with fast paced action and lot's of explosions this is must a must buy for action fans, and it's only 15 bucks!!! the gameplay is great, it's not much different than the old gameplay but it just feels different for the better. in this game you can play as other characters other than grave, you can play as this rock and roll guy that has a guitar as a weapon and everytime you shoot the guitars plays notes and stuff ( not great music, but pretty good ). and the other character you can play as is a samurai like character that weilds two sub-machine guns and two swords ( i preffer the samurai guy cause his swords slices guys almost emideately). there is also a button ( R2 ) which i'm not sure what it does, it just let's your character do a little power up thing and then when you let go of the button he does a pose but nothing happens. It seems the graphics have less cel shading in it, because i sometimes forget the game is cel shaded, most of the time where you can tell it's cel shaded is when you play as grave or billy ( because of their costumes ). but it's still great, the explosions are awesome too. the sound isn't very great, in game voice overs seems like their always in a big room ( meaning you can hear echos ), and sometimes there are missing sounds like if your character is gonna do a big power up explosion thing and an enemy shouts there's some missing parts in the explosion sounds. the music is great but t's set low in the game, i think you can turn it up tho. if you're an action fan you should get this game!!! it's worth every dollar, and not a lot of dollars cuz it only cost $14.99!!!!
