Although the first few minutes of Anarchy Reigns remind improved version Rise of the North StarThe further you plunge into the game world and the more familiar with the rules and mechanics, the stronger the emotional dependence.

Events Anarchy Reigns occur in the distant future, where, after a series of wars with nuclear and toxic weapons, mutants inhabited earth, rare survivors banded together in gangs, and the population untouched disastercities fighting for the possession of cybernetic implants. On this fertile soil growing private detective company and the impact of governmental secret agencies.The plot complication head of the secret service - Max turns into a maniac, potroshaschego civilians on implants.His pursue private detective Jack familiar to you by Mad World, and three secret soldier Sasha, Leo, and the new head of the government agency Nikolai Bulygin. The player is invited to choose sides and to embark on the most insane persecution in their lives.

The game begins in the ruins of the city Altambra, divided according to the acts in the arena. At each stage there are the starting point of missions that open when receiving a sufficient number of points.Points can be earned by completing tasks on one of four medals (platinum, gold, silver and bronze), or destroying enemies constantly appearing.For the highest medal that guarantees the maximum number of points and the automatic opening of the next mission, you must comply with several conditions, including the preservation of all three attempts,super strikes and rapid implementation of the task. Some missions can take an infinite amount of time, others are linked directly with the plot and require a run for platinum on the first try.
If you decide to earn points is not enough local bandits, then be prepared for the fact that the opponents are attacking waves, and each wave, they are becoming more dangerous and difficult.In addition, together with the enemy begin to change environmental conditions.So you fly burning buses, they are replaced by the cruel bombers, burning plane, then it falls acid rain, under which grow giant carnivorous plants and the arena appear super mutants and giant black holes. To survive in such conditions is almost impossible.

Mission of the act to the act of becoming dangerous and insane.You offer to destroy a certain number of enemies in the allotted time, a ride on the local analogue of the combine in a deadly race, powerful cannon shot from looms robots playa giant pool, ride on the super mutants and enjoy dozens of different follies for which the Platinum Games to create a special and unique enemies location.As noted above, all the levels are large arenas, which are composed of different parts, creatively associated freight elevators, air guns, teleporters, destroy walls and other elements of interactive gameplay.

Each of the characters has their own combat techniques, honed to perfection (Platinum Games employees had to work on all known fighting games), and basic techniques, such as tackle,uppercut jumping, hitting the top, hitting 360 degrees, throw, block, which can be combined in a combo.In addition, each of the characters has a deadly weapon, which is accumulated during the attacks successfully carried bundles.Leo - is energy swords, Sasha - circuit at the Bull - a giant hammer, and Jack - a chainsaw.Lethal Weapon can be applied to the basic and special finishing moves, which are almost impossible to block. All the combat mechanics Anarchy Reigns is based on an antidote.The unit can be removed, but will have to disengage yourself. Conduct a successful bunch, but substitute a superudar.In multiplayer mode, there is a huge amount of level of perks that helps protect against too simple combinations like the same cast. Style heroes noticeable even in the single-player campaign.
If you select the same bull or a pig in a mission with flying opponents, it is likely that you will lose because they are very powerful, but slow combo.Rage mode - one of the most spectacular and saving decisions. When a character falls into a rage, not only can cause the maximum damage to the enemy, but also to protect themselves from the danger of death.If an enemy hero are set to fury, the outcome of the battle is decided in airtight QTE. In addition to special attacks, players can knock out a special box bonuses, like the rocket launcher, sniper rifle or the protective field, which should help in the most critical moments of the game.

Bosses in Anarchy Reigns, on a par with the study of combat and character - one of the most important pieces of the game.Where else do you have to come to grips with giant robots, Super Mutants, pimps, bliznyazhkami from China, mutant Kraken octopus and the incredible machine of destruction - Cthulhu?Bosses witty, impressive and appear with the amount of pathos, which we normally expect from Japanese developers.Depending on the choice of the parties, the bosses appear in different contexts, and sometimes an easy fight for the forces of law and order with the same Kraken turns into popobol on the side of private detectives.In some places in the game pop motifs Metal Gear Rising, and it becomes clear that the future of the new series do not worry.

The aforementioned multiplayer mode is implemented in the same arena as the single-user version, but as the game is available only in the import (in English and without regionalrestrictions) version, the network live mainly Japanese. Play with the Japanese in multiplayer, as I understood more of Armored Core, impossible.Samurai-pumped zadroty dent in your wall like an awkward toy every three seconds, giving take a step. Probably, there are fans of such experiences, but I'd rather wait for the spring of 2013, when the game will be in Europe and America.
