Gameplay

Each girl has a specific equipment, mostly limited to differences between the weapons. In overall 12 levels, the goal is to make a way through the terrain that contains a certain numbers of enemies that will block the way. [2] They will actively run and notice when the players step out from hiding. [3] There is no way to save progress during the missions. In case the character dies during a mission, it will restart from the beginning. [4] All levels have interactive puzzle elements with occasional cutscenes. [5]

Development

In 1998, n-Space had acquired exclusive rights to develop a video game based on the Danger Girl comic book. There was no publisher attached at that time as the developing team was working on Duke Nukem: Time to Kill . [6]

Reception

The game received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [7]

The Freshman of GamePro said of the game in one review, "If you're a huge fan of the Danger Girl comic, you might want this game just for some new DG action, but fans of third person action titles probably won't find a lot new about Danger Girl for PlayStation. It's fun enough, but it's definitely not dangerous." [4] [lower-alpha 1] In another GamePro review, Jake The Snake said, "A moderately fun game despite its faults, Danger Girl will appeal only to those who love all things Danger Girl or all third-person shooters. [18] [lower-alpha 2]

The game was nominated for the "Biggest Disappointment" award at The Electric Playground 's Blister Awards 2000, which went to Daikatana . [19]
