#casca...!

Admittedly, it's pretty bad, but I actually finished Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage for Dreamcast last night. In my opinion it hasn't really aged well, but it's a really interesting stand-alone, (non-canon) story-driven hack-and-slash game that I'm sure only fans of Berserk would really appreciate.

According to Wiki, "It takes place anywhere between volumes 22 and volume 23 of the Berserk manga; right after Guts and Puck depart for Elfhelm with Casca, but before Farnese, Serpico and Isidro catch up with them."

Anyway, my only real complaint is the lack of motion-acting, and the strange sort of one-sidedness in Guts' playability; he's a heavy guy, as you might imagine, and his warm-ups to strikes and defending don't stand up well against his decidedly quick foes, most times. Unless they're huge bruisers, in which case they fling him into walls regardless.
