XBOXweb.com :: Xbox Game Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) GunValkyrie also incorporates some of the classic gaming elements of Bionic Commando as well as Nintendo's Metroid (such as the grappling hook that can be used to reach some of the higher levels). GunValkyrie does an admirable job of capturing and paying homage to some of the great game play innovations from the past while bringing it to the year 2002. GunValkyrie is an experience that you owe to your self to face and enjoy. www.xboxweb.com /reviews/xbox/gunvalkyrie.html   (918 words)

Gunvalkyrie - GameCritics.com While Gunvalkyrie allows full 3D movement, its style is most reminiscent of rail shooters such as Panzer Dragoon and Star Fox; each level consists of a linear mission (which is usually "destroy all enemies!"), and the levels—though often quite large and occasionally very open—are deliberately crafted to sustain the games feverish pace. Gunvalkyrie challenges this perception by eschewing the conventions of its genre with a complex, unorthodox control scheme that radically shapes the direction of the game. Gunvalkyrie shows that complexity can be both approachable and compelling, and that gamers are far from seeing the limits of its time-tested genre. www.gamecritics.com /review/gunvalkyrie/main.php   (1518 words)

Gamer's Logik 4.0 - Gunvalkyrie Review Gunvalkyrie, originally slated for a release on the now-deceased Dreamcast, started life as a light gun game, but in the end it was changed to a 3rd person action shooter. Gunvalkyrie was developed by Smilebit who is better known for their games Jet Grind Radio and Jet Set Radio Future games on the Dreamcast and Xbox respectively, so one can say that Smilebit has at least some familiarity with the Xbox hardware. Gunvalkyrie sends two of its agents to go to Tir Na Nog and find out what has happened to the colonists; when they arrive, they find that the planet is overridden with huge alien insects (which seem to be the typical enemies for sci-fi action games). www.gamerslogik.com /review.php?RevID=22   (1153 words)

Last check: 2007-10-25) You play the part of one of two GUNVALKYRIE operatives, Kelly O’Lenmey (a young girl from Ireland), or Saburouta Mishima (a Samurai of the Meiji Restoration), who are dispatched to Tir na Nog and ordered retrieve Dr. Gate, and find out what happened to the colonists.

G4 - Feature - 'GunValkyrie' (Xbox) Review Anyone who has kept an eye on "GunValkyrie" since its early 2001 unveiling knew that this would be a promising Sega release, and one that displayed the company's potential to develop for a non-Sega console. Its sleek look, sexy female lead, and futuristic presentation even led journalists to describe "GunValkyrie" as (gasp!) "The next 'Metroid'." Yet as the game came closer to its release date, word went around that the game's controls were complicated and unmanageable. Much of the character movements are meant to be performed in mid-air (by use of a boost), and at the same time you're expected to survive against all sorts of insects, monsters, sentries, and larger-than-life bosses. www.g4tv.com /techtvvault/features/36799/GunValkyrie_Xbox_Review.html   (973 words)

Gunvalkyrie XBox Review - www.impulsegamer.com - Gunvalkyrie is an arcade style action game that is set in an alternate universe. The beauty of Gunvalkyrie is that you can move in one direction, then fire in a completely different direction while you still move in the same direction. Gunvalkyrie is an extremely well made and additive game from SEGA and contains impressive graphics and storyline. www.impulsegamer.com /igversion01/xbox/xboxgunvalkyrie.htm   (563 words)

GamingWorld X - Gunvalkyrie Review It was originally slated to be on the Dreamcast, and to supposedly make use of both the light gun and the controller. While the light gun feature was dropped, Gunvalkyrie remains an amazing shooter that no fan of the genre should miss. Gunvalkyrie is an incredible game, once the player gets a handle on the brilliant control system. www.gamingworldx.com /xbox/Gunvalkyrie.shtml   (736 words)

Gunvalkyrie Sega’s Gunvalkyrie is a highly-polished title that showcases the power of the Xbox. Set in an alternate past, Sega and developer Smilebit's Gunvalkyrie allows the player to use one of two GV special agents who are searching for a famous scientist who’s disappeared mysteriously. In the end, while there are a lot of cool ideas in the game, Gunvalkyrie falls short in its execution making it a disappointment. www.the-laser.com /gunvalkyrie.htm   (1656 words)

The Next Level - Game Review - GUNVALKYRIE It's rare to see a game whose intention is specifically set to challenge; specifically when it comes matching the gaming needs for the most seasoned gamer. GUNVALKYRIE can best be described as an intense, "see all, kill all" action game. My only complaint with GUNVALKYRIE is that the levels are not entirely consistent with each other and lack an equal degree of genius design. www.the-nextlevel.com /reviews/xbox/gun_valkyrie   (1412 words)

Electric Playground Smilebit obviously left out a few crucial genes, because most gamers will find their onscreen character spurting and fitting, boosting in wrong directions at wrong times, banging into the lips of ledges that need to be landed upon, and otherwise conniption-fitting about the screen. The "boost" jets of a Gunvalkyrie operative's suit work much like the boost jets of Sega's Virtual On games, blasting the character at jet-propelled speed in one single straight-line direction at a time. It's worth a rental for most gamers, and the few, the 1337, the proud and extremely dexterous, will find in Gunvalkyrie's briar patch a game that meets and rewards their mad skills in spades while the rest of us pick the nettles from our stinging backsides. www.elecplay.com /reviews_article.php?article=8600   (760 words)

Gaming Target - Xbox: Gunvalkyrie - Preview Though, unfortunately GUNVALKYRIE hasn’t received the same praise that was given to Smilebit’s first Xbox title. As either one of GUNVALKYRIE’s members, Kelly O’Lenmey or Saburouta Mishima, your mission is to infiltrate Tir na Nog, attempt to locate Dr. Hebble’s whereabouts, and destroy anything that has more than 2 legs. And if you need added incentive, GUNVALKYRIE is worth playing through just to face the final boss, for it is one of the most intense battles in the history of video games. www.gamingtarget.com /article.php?artid=1836   (2146 words)

Gunvalkyrie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) No, Gunvalkyrie is for the gamer that is prepared to have their palms sweat, their thumbs bleed, and pay the price of a gaming lifetime all in the name of seeing those credits roll. And it was a problem for me too until I realized that Gunvalkyrie was not going to be a game that I was going to whip through in a weekend, and if I was going to beat it at all, I was going to have to play by its rules. Gunvalkyrie is a great piece of software by a great development house. www.gamerankings.com /htmlpages3/475252.asp   (837 words)

PlanetXbox - A Member of the GameSpy Network Fortunately, with Smilebit's reputation at stake among a group of gamers who may have never had the pleasure of experiencing their previous games, one would imagine that this is but a temporary problem, and certainly one that will be cleared up well before the game is released. Speaking of releases, it was initially rumored that Gunvalkyrie would be ready to go in time to be one of the Xbox's early titles. Information released since indicates that Smilebit is seriously considering making at least some elements of Gunvalkyrie online-playable, which has the two-fold effect of not only delaying the game (probably until early 2002), but also potentially making it one of the first Xbox games to take advantage of the built-in broadband modem that the system boasts. www.planetxbox.com /features/firstlooks/gunvalkyrie   (1017 words)

PC Vs Console - Gunvalkyrie Review for Xbox GUNVALKYRIE is much different from Halo, although the basic premise is the same- kill anything that moves. GUNVALKYRIE is short, for some players, although for a shooter it's long enough. GUNVALKYRIE challenges you as a gamer, and is ultimately rewarding once you learn its nuances. www.pcvsconsole.com /user_review.php?rfi=31   (1452 words)

IGN: GUNVALKYRIE Review The control system in GUNVALKYRIE is going to be the main barrier between those who like the game and those who don't. The use of the dual analog sticks isn't as simple as "move with the left" and "aim with the right." If you think of how a human actually moves, the left stick controls Kelly's body while the right stick controls the aim of her weapon. She has to be facing whatever it is you want her to shoot at, but the right analog is better at fine tuning her aim and working with the game's automatic lock-on system once she's facing the right way. xbox.ign.com /articles/355/355704p1.html   (765 words)

GameSpy.com - Reviews The Lowdown: While Gunvalkyrie has a control scheme that is as frustrating as it is beautiful, it should not be overlooked. Now it is Meridian's job to stop her deranged dad from fooling around with a devastating comet that he is convinced holds the secrets to the universe. The key to Gunvalkyrie is the constantly recharging the jetpack that is strapped to the back of your selected character. archive.gamespy.com /reviews/april02/gv   (522 words)

Bargain Bin Laden #6: Gunvalkyrie :: DESTRUCTOID :: Hardcore video game blog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) You might notice that our selection for this week, Gunvalkyrie, has something in common with both past and future BBL features; it was developed by Smilebit, just as Jet Set Radio Future and Panzer Dragoon Orta (coming soon!) were. Gunvalkyrie takes place in the early 20th century -- 1903, to be exact. Gunvalkyrie is ruthless, unforgiving, and a cast-iron bitch in almost every respect, but it's one of those games that isn't unfair in its difficulty. www.destructoid.com /bargain-bin-laden-6-gunvalkyrie-29625.phtml   (2058 words)

CCC Reviews: GunValkyrie As the game progresses, the story is told through short cut scenes and through the notes provided to you when you are accessing the GV home site. Easily one of the best of any of the 128 systems, GunValkyrie cashes in on bright graphics, huge landscapes and details down to the shine on the GV suit. It has a flair that can be found in the older games but maintains a position in the world of the future of gaming. www.geocities.com /ryokazamaccc2/gunvalkyrie.html   (653 words)

Gunvalkyrie: Screenshot Gallery - Xbox   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) With the government's assistance, a group of scientists are able to form GUNVALKYRIE, an organization bent on protecting these new breakthroughs and policing their use. There is always future altering chaos that needs fixed before it's too late, and Gunvalkyrie is sure to a fast paced action title that will put you at a race against evil forces set out for your destruction. Gunvalkyrie features Japanimation visual technique, which mak shading effects in the game tremendously vibrant and dramatic. www.teamxbox.com /article.php?id=252&t=f   (301 words)

Amazon.com: Gun Valkyrie: Video Games   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Originally slated by Sega for release on the Dreamcast (and to have used a controller in conjunction with a light gun!), GunValkyrie is the type of game that is becoming rare these days: a skill-based, challenging, unique experience. The real winner is Naglfar's Pit, a mile-high acid-filled gorge with drifting lights, multiple platforms, and an odd, almost underwater ripple effect to everything, along with a haunting music-box soundtrack and insane ramblings from...well, I'll leave that to you to discover. GunValkyrie combines the best aspects of the shooting, platforming, and adventure genres into one incredible experience, adds a heavy dose of much-needed innovation, and tops it off with a perfectly realized, surreal atmosphere, polishing everything to a hypnotic shine. www.amazon.com /Gun-Valkyrie/dp/B00005Y404   (2965 words)

Gamestyle -- Gunvalkyrie preview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Gunvalkyrie is from the Smilebit team who are responsible for Jet Set Radio, Hundred Swords and Typing of the Dead, in other words quality and originality assured. One of the key phrases associated with Gunvalkyrie is freedom of movement, because in essence this is what the developer intends to bring. Jet Set Radio Future may be grabbing all the headlines and attention for Smilebit but Gunvalkyrie is shaping up to be an enjoyable and spectacular if limited romp. www.gamestyle.net /xbox.php?action=preview&id=11   (636 words)

Gunvalkyrie Preview (Xbox) Thanks to the Xbox’s graphical capability however, GUNVALKYRIE suffers from no drop in frame rate while you pick apart the opposing force. The weapon effects which your mech can spout off are also a sight to see as your weapon blasts force you to reminisce of fourth of July’s of year’s past. We got a chance to toy around with GUNVALKYRIE at this year’s E3, and the only blemish on GV’s clean report card was the control scheme. previews.teamxbox.com /xbox/81/Gunvalkyrie/p1   (743 words)

Into Liquid Sky - Game Reviews While the story for Gunvalkyrie really is secondary to the gameplay, the alternative history vein that is introduced as the backstory is well thought out, giving an additional flavor to the game. Also, you'll find that most levels just boil down to killing everything in sight, which will leave you hunting back and forth for the last few enemies you need to kill to either unlock a door or just to end the level.

Gunvalkyrie Review | Shin Force > Systems > Microsoft Xbox This is the part that everyone is talking about when saying the gameplay of Gunvalkyrie has a steep learning curve. After each mission you're awarded GV points (based on your grade in various categories), which can be used to upgrade your weapons, shields, etc... The graphics are state-of-the-art; the control is unique, challenging, and rewarding; the music is solid but not too memorable; and ultimately your fun will be measured by your ability to master the gameplay. www.shinforce.com /xbox/reviews/Gunvalkyrie.htm   (689 words)

RTÉ.ie Entertainment: GunValkyrie (Xbox) A visceral bug-buster with Japanese mecha influences, GunValkyrie mixes the odd platform routine with plenty of explosive fireworks in a bizarre mix of shooting and exploration. You are the GunValkyrie - a blonde bombshell tooled up with enough weapons to fill a bunker. Impressive animation and stunning environmental effects are tarted up with plenty of anime stylings and tripped out psychedelia that's more colourful than a clown's pantaloons, while the music is a bizarre mix of Japanese pop. www.rte.ie /arts/2002/0529/gunvalkyrie.html   (406 words)

Gunvalkyrie (xbx: 2002): Reviews It all looks lush and the gameplay is surprisingly enjoyable despite the frustration, but it's not one for the casual gamer. Gunvalkyrie simply should have had a little more polishing. Valkyrie's controls are so klunky...it feels worse than just awkward, it literally hurts to play Valkyrie for more than a couple hours at a time. www.metacritic.com /games/platforms/xbox/gunvalkyrie   (1117 words)
