Eidos Interactive, one of the world's leading developers and publishers of interactive entertainment products, announced that Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage is now shipping to retail stores for Sega Dreamcast(TM).

Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage is an action/brawler that features some of the most beautiful visuals to date on the Sega Dreamcast in addition to an intense and engrossing storyline that unfolds over the course of play. Originally a popular comic that started in the 70s, Berserk has built an incredible fan base around the world and the video game conversion has proven to be a great success overseas.

Gamers will assume the role of Guts, a mercenary in search of a cure for his girlfriend's mysterious illness. Traveling across the countryside, Guts stumbles upon a village that has fallen victim to a horrible plague.

In order to get to the root of the evil, Guts must hack and slash his way through hundreds of enemies and terrifying bosses in order to lift the plague and restore the land. Guts' arsenal includes a gigantic sword, an arm mounted automatic crossbow, throwing knives, an arm cannon, and grenades. Accompanied by an incredible soundtrack, Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage delivers hours of mature gameplay with numerous secrets to keep gamers coming back for more.
