Story Breakdown: Judge Dredd (PlayStation)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

When you go to list off actors who have played Judge Dredd, I'm sure the names Sylvester Stallone and Karl Urban immediately come to mind. But what about Richard Waters? He was the star of Acclaim's cheesy light gun shooter, which Electronic Gaming Monthly ranked as one of the worst action games of 1998. While I'll agree that Judge Dredd on PlayStation should be avoided at all costs, I'm here to tell you that the full-motion video story is kind of awesome. It's certainly no worse than what Sly brought to the table. But you don't have to take my word for it, because I'm going to drop you off on the crime-ridden streets of Mega City 1 and let you make up your own mind. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and ending for Judge Dredd on the PlayStation. This is Game Over: The Early Years!
