Round-Up: 10 January 04
 Poll
results - Dredd vs Death
The latest poll
results are in. So what did the faithful think of our favourite judge's latest
outing on the small screen..?
The question was:
What did you think of Dredd vs Death?
| Good. But not
great. |
31% (42) |
| Acceptable. Must
try harder |
23% (32) |
| Haven't played
it yet. |
17% (23) |
| Oh dear god, what
have they done? |
11% (15) |
| Have no intention
of playing it. |
10%(14) |
| Best. Game. Ever.
|
8% (11) |
So what are we
to make of this? Well it's no secret that the press had a fairly negative reaction
to Dredd vs Death, although the 2000AD message boarders have seemed much more
positive to the game. Whatever your opinion, it seems clear that there's loads
of room for improvement (assuming that Rebellion do actually make another 2000AD
based game).
But if you were
one of those who rated it as "Best. Game. Ever." (in which case, frankly,
you need to play a few more games) you might be interested in voting for Dredd
vs Death in the Sunday Times Readers award for best games. It's frankly a rather
dubious list, to be honest, with some far better games (Rainbow Six 3?) missing.
But if you really loved DvD, you can vote for it here.
And don't forget
to vote in our latest poll either...
