Judge Dredd is a 1995 American superhero film based on the 2000 AD comics character of the same name. Hallmark of Greatsness is a comedy podcast about the greatest stories of our age, Hallmark and made for TV movies.
We're using his library of knowledge on 2000 AD as well as talking long walks and Sticking plastic things to existing guns to make them look futuristic. If you are looking for a bit of undemanding platforming action, then this will keep you amused, but the iconic law enforcement legend is still waiting for the game that truly deserves his name.This week we are welcoming back friend of the Podcast Joe Higgens from Hallmark of Greatness, Yeah you knew we were going to say that!
or Home Alone, but it is far from the best. Judge Dredd certainly isn't the worst movie tie-in ever released, with that dubious honour going to either E.T. Visually, the game scores fairly well, with some nicely detailed environments that evoke the feel of the comics and some chunky sprites, although the scrolling is a bit awkward. One of these is the option to arrest perps instead of killing them, but in all honesty such additions don't make a lot of difference and most players are likely just to exercise their trigger fingers a bit more. The game is pretty much as you'd expect from a tie-in, with plenty of run and gun action, but there are a couple of neat-ish twists to mix things up. The game continues after the movie's climax, with some extra levels inspired by the comics and which see Dredd battling against the Dark Judges. Promptly escaping, he sets out to prove his innocence, which basically means blasting his way through every punk and perp who stands in his way. Taking the usual tie-in style of platformer that has been used in pretty much every similar game, from Batman to Total Recall, Judge Dredd follows the movie pretty closely, with the tough law enforcer being sent to Aspen penal colony for a crime he didn't commit.
If there is one thing that is certain whenever a supposedly blockbuster movie gets released, it's that the licensed game won't be far behind.
