I hate how opinions of games have only come down to graphics. Who cares if the graphics aren't top notch? If the game-play is tight and the story is alright, then that's a good game in my book.

Huh, I seem to have a few slightly different feels about this game, but that's ok. Overall, I think it did well to tackle the simple and fluent combat action and the lesser, insensitive storyline. 

In a rare exception, I didn't have any trouble with multiplayer, but that's because there are so many modes that you can get a feel for that combat in team modes before going to more skillful levels. Not blaming the reviewer for not doing so, as you shouldn't be coerced in following a given path, just saying that this method, for me, went swimmingly and that made me have a blast with the tons of content this game offers online for a small price.

All this makes me wish for is the Fist of the North Star game. I gotta get that!

My guess is this didn't get a 9 because they're too busy with Kojima-san whipping them into shape on 'Revengeance', Go Metal Gear!

I don't know if it's just the video but this game looks terribly grainy, it honestly looks like something from PS2 but if I wanted a PS2 brawler I'd get DW5, at least that game was fun and had some variety....

The way Japanese devs consistently portray black people, is just offensive. Good thing gamers don't care about racial subtext. If this was the movie industry, it would start a riot. (check 1:37 to see an example what I mean)

Oh whaaa it's a 7.0 , why is that not suprising, whaaa it was reviewed on sept '12 and it releases this tuesday...what to do what to do ???

@OrNiGhTZ There's a conspiracy against japanese videogames, or at least i'd like to believe that. The japanese isn't in its best shape, but it is constantly being bashed by the western. Not saying this is the case, since i haven't played the game myself.

"Anarchy Reigns" was released on PS3 & Xbox 360 in Japan as "Max Anarchy" in July of 2012.

 

PS3 & 360 owners in the U.S and Europe are supposed to get "Anarchy Reigns" in March of 2013.

 

So, i wonder which version of the game was played for this particular review?

@GAME-QUEST-EX The game is out now, the release date was pushed to January. These are localized review copies.

I played the hell out of the demo that came out months ago and it was crazy and addicting. Sega and PG, take all my money!

Wasn't this game supposed to have 4 playable characters?

 

I have no interest in this whatsoever.

Does the combat look great? Really!? Fluency of a dmc or bayonetta...nope.

hard hitting beautiful awesomeness of a ninja gaiden? nope. no, not at all.   

Sorry, maybe i'm missing something, but to me the game just looks a mess and waste of time.

Environments all seem to have very low texture quality =/

Still, looks pretty fun.

Never got to play MadWorld on the Wii, but I enjoyed both Bayonetta and Vanquish (2 of PlatinumGames other games)

As much as I would like to try it for the multiplayer, I get the feeling it will be dead in a month or two.
