pickhut's Gungrave review

Been pondering on buying this for PS2 being it has some Anime custscenes and even an Anime based on it. I am now considering not doing so if it handles this poorly :|

The controls do handle stiffly, but they're "manageable." I would say the bigger threat is the terribly repetitive action. I didn't watch the show, but I did watch a couple clips; it actually serves as a backstory for the games, so if you want the character you see in the game, there's not much there. It actually plays out more like a crime drama more than anything else.

Thanks for reading, too!

Edit: I think the whole series is free to watch on YouTube, on Funimation's channel.

Edit 2: Okay, I watched some scenes of later episodes, and it seems to have "present day" elements, as well.
