'Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage'

[PS3 / X360] [USA] [MAGAZINE] [2010]

"Rest assured Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage does not mince around. It is deadly serious; even its installment onto the PS3 hard drive is preceded with a face-punching noise. Not to mince words, either: This is a Dynasty Warriors clone. It's based on the popular Japanese manga and anime, but its gameplay is pure 3D beat-em-up in the mold of almost every KOEI game released this century. Players are required to brawl their way through endless goons in one extended hoedown of violence and gore after another. Bodies distort and shudder before erupting in a crimson spray; one particularly gruesome attack turns enemies into fleshy balloons, floating off the ground before popping. This gratuitous use of red to coat the screen serves also to lubricate Rage's gears; the game runs long and hard on its over-the-top displays.

There will be Rage, all right. Adjusting the game's camera to prevent Ken from getting pummeled by off-screen enemies should qualify as gainful employment; it's a full-time occupation deserving of benefits. Searching for walls Ken can wreck (an odd proposition since the game offers endless fences that can't be destroyed) proves snoozeworthy and players must perform killing moves on major precise button presses. Quick-time events? Yes, it's time to rage." ~Greg Orlando, PlayStation: The Official Magazine (January 2011, #41)
