Reception

Richard Meadows reviewed Judge Dredd for White Dwarf #35, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "Judge Dredd is a good game for some light relaxation for both Dredd fans and those who have never heard of him. It is admirably successful in its aims: it doesn't set out to be a game of deep skills and great complexity; it sets out to be simple, playable and as enjoyable as reading your favourite comic book - and if Judge Dredd is your favourite comic-book hero, so much the better."
Paul Cockburn reviewed Judge Dredd for Imagine magazine, and called it "a fine game, with excellent opportunities for player inter-action and fine balance. If you like mayhem, this has to be a winner".
Steve Jackson reviewed Judge Dredd in Space Gamer No. 67. Jackson commented that "If you're a Judge Dredd fan, you'll buy it no matter what the reviews say, so be comforted; you will like it. In fact, it works both ways; I became a fan after reading through the game. If you don't read Judge Dredd, you might still enjoy it as a beer-and-pretzels game, if you can handle the steep imported price tag."
