Another awesome delivery from the PlatinumGames. But some online issues hold it back a bit.
The games graphic's aren't the most groundbreaking, but they definitively are nice. The live up to the standard of this generation. Nice character designs are complimented by good effects on fire and the like.
The soundtrack for Anarchy Reigns is definitively one of the best things about it. It's comprised mostly of a Hip Hop and rap album with lyrics suited to the overall fast paced action of the game. The music also boast some of the most memorable lyrics I heard in quite a while.
Of course, the game-play in Anarchy reigns holds up to the rest of the game as well. While seemingly simple at first, Anarchy reigns hides a deeper combo system that doesn't seem apparent at first; but as soon as you start seeing infinites in one on one cage matches, you'll probably spend some time in the game practice mode.
This being Platinum's first online title, some hicks are to be expected. But the online play while fun most of the time, is rather bare bones. The most frustrating features a probably not being able to kick players or even mute them if they're running their mouth on the mic. But when you can get a good team together, the game shines.
While it may have it's issues online, Anarchy Reigns is another awesome title from PlatinumGames that delivers on game-play and has a rather good story for a game that focuses on awesome online brawler goodness. But despite some nagging issues online if you liked any of Platinum's previous titles (including back in there Clover Studios days.) Your going to like Anarchy Reigns. Hey it only thirty bucks it's easily worth the regular sixty.
