Genetically modified people, armed with multifunctional pistols, ensure order in the cities. People live in several gigantic closed megalopolises because the earth has turned into a dangerous radioactive wasteland. In the original setting, there was a place for cyberpunk and neo-noir elements. Events unfold in a dark dystopian future. The plot partly repeats the events of the film, which came out in the mid-1990s. As the name suggests, the game is based on the Judge Dredd comics and their very first film adaptation. Overall, this is super-fun despite the minor problems.Judge Dredd 95 Is an action platformer with 2D graphics and side view. The final fight with Lena Headey is not as climatic as needed. It's a balancing act between pace and cool and the climax needs pace more than cool. I'm sure it's cool 3D fun, but even that would get tiresome. The first couple of times are interesting. It's certainly not your average muscle bound villain. Lena Headey does a good job as the baddie. Their relationship is the heart of the movie. Olivia Thirlby is great as a foil or conscience to Dredd. Most importantly, he's not impersonating Sly. Karl Urban is not as imposing as Sly but he does a solid job. It is well written probably because they had Alex Garland who also wrote 28 Days Later. This one brings us into the comics once again but this time, they drop the camp. Consider that it had Rob Schneider in it. The previous version of Judge Dredd (1995) starring Sly is a campy affair. They are battling drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) who is operating out of a massive apartment block. Judge Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) is his junior partner. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the last word in Law & Order within Mega-City One. In a dystopian future, the world is devastated.
