Guts' Rage is a really faithful addition to the story of Berserk. It doesn't feel out of place a single time. I wouldn't even be surprised if these events were considered canonical. The music is produced by Susumu Hirasawa, which by default is the greatest thing about this game. Just listen to 'A Sister's Story', it is such a captivating and hauntingly beautiful song; one that perfectly fits in this game and confirms that this truly is a Berserk game. It's bit on the shorter side when it comes to the content of the story, and especially due it being very linear, it's quite noticeable. But hey, as long as the game is enjoyable from beginning to end, that's all that matters. There's not much to do, hack and slash (which is not very interesting). There's no real progression in terms of upgrading Guts or his gear, but you got his trademark hand cannon, throwing knives etc. Boss battles are alright; and of course it's a blast to get your ass beat by the legendary ZODD. Now that I've mentioned the boss battles I want to know WHO it was that named the main antagonist 'BALLSACK'? It was hard to take him seriously with that on my mind all the time; anyway, I'm joking a bit. Outside of the story you got a horde type of challenge mode and I mean, it'll keep you occupied for a solid half an hour and then you're done. Not much else to it.
