Gungrave, the newest mindless-action game from Sega, has just arrived on the PS2. In this crazy little game, you take the role of Grave, a killer who has come back from the dead to reap revenge on an evil Syndicate. As far as gameplay goes, you basically run through corridor after corridor, shooting anything that moves (and the occasional unlucky wall or car). Also, you can use the coffin on Graves' back to knock out nearby enemies. Depending on how cool you look while doing all this, you accumulate points and rankings. If your ranking gets high enough, you get new "Demolition Shots," which basically just make everything in the free world on your TV explode.

Now, as I said, this is a MINDLESS action game, with the bosses as the only things that require actual thought to kill. The massacre is sometimes broken up by cell-shaded animated movies, stringing the story along. The distinct anime style of this game should appeal to fans of Japanese animation, or even cartoons in general. If you're looking to just have some fun with a game, without having to read, or think, or anything, or you're just an angry person in general, you'll probably enjoy the senseless action of Gungrave. Rating - 7/10
