Gantz for PS2

Has anyone played this? It's based on the ridiculously violent anime/manga series.

It's basically about people who die and are sent to a room where they are assigned an alien to go out and kill. That's just the basic idea though..It gets much weirder than that.

Needless to say, the concept would translate pretty well to a video game. So, did konami do a good job on this? It seems like it'd be tough to screw up, but anime-based games don't exactly have a perfect track record.

i thought it was alright although much too short for my liking. Alot of replay value, mostly unlocking extras. It's definatley not for everybody.

The anime seems to get pretty poor marks from most critics, especially given the relative depth of the original manga. And, of course, the game seems to have more in common with the anime...well, that's all I know.

Bah, that's what I figured. :/ I heard the anime diverges after the Buddha aliens and strays from the manga. So if it's based on the anime, then it probably doesn't have those Dinosaurs or Vampires in it, either. That sucks! >_< Oh well, It's not like I have any way of playing it, so I'm actually kind of happy it's
not a must-have. Hooray for saving money! :D

For what it's worth, it got pretty poor reviews as well. Got something like a 6 or 7 average in Famitsu. As usual, only buy it if you're a die-hard fan of the series - you won't get much real "game" out of it.
