Judge Dredd Arcade (Midway)
42The game reached a near-complete state, with 3 stages finished, and 3 bonus stages after each "main" level, but it still very unpolished.
The game is played with a 8-way joystick and 4 buttons, one for punches, one for kicks, one for jump and one for crouching.
There very little combation between them like Kick + Crouch = Throws, Crouch + Jump = Bombs, Double Jump = Jump Kick and finally Crouch + Punch = Uppercut.
There also shooting phases through different stages, when both Kick and Punch became the shoot button but with different angles.
Each stage is different in some way, such as the first being a normal scrolling brawler-style stage, the second being closer to a platform with shooting game and the third being a tower defense like, where Dredd has to fight off waves of "block warriors", making sure that the two ever-decreasing bars never reach the bottom if one of them is emptied, the stage is over and has to be repeated.
In every stage jank reign supreme, hit detection and hitboxes are all over the place, with platform mechanics that barely even works and terrible shooting sections.
Also, everytime you die Dredd when he respawn and is stuck for a second or two until he talks, then you can re-control him, this may cause you to enter a cycle of death loops or terrible positioning in the platform stage.
After the "final" level is beaten, the game ends with a preview for the next level, apparently featuring the character Judge Death from the comics. It was basically Judge Death in Resyk, he was reanimating corpses that were rolling out on a conveyor belt at the back of the screen and you were shooting them and him.
You'd have your gun but it could be knocked out of your hand and you'd be manno e-manno until another one dropped into the level. The development team actually had most of it running but it was never finished.
There was another level we had which got cut: the motorcycle chase. It was a top down thing, where you were on his bike and you had to chase a car on a high ramp over the city.
The ramp was damaged so you had to jump sections. It was originally designed to be like Spy Hunter.
They cut it because it was no challenge (a few jumps, some left and right and that was it). Looked gorgeous though, but all that really nice Mega City At Night imagery took up way too much image space, so they cut it entirely.
The idea was to have a shooting gallery, then a real game level, then the bike chase, then a real game level, then the shooting gallery, etc.
Play this game in co-op with 3 players, the fun is granted with the humor and the jank make it even more hilarious.
