Gameplay
Judge Dredd is a light gun game set in the 22nd century, where Judge Dredd fights an ex-judge prison escapee, who kidnapped the mayor, and his army of merciless androids.[1][2][3] The gameplay is similar to Area 51 and Maximum Force, in that the game's full motion video is integrated with the action.[3]
Reception
Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "in an all too common display of galling disrespect toward gamers by the videogame industry, a major publisher like Activision has once again tried to slip a gaming travesty past an unsuspecting public."[2]
