From Strategyinformer.com: "The games industry is at an exciting crossroads. Potentially, we're a matter of days away from witnessing the revelation of the next-generation. A host of big name products, from Bioshock Infinite to Grand Theft Auto V, are ready to usher us into gaming's long-awaited next chapter. It's time to enjoy the last stretch of releases before the transition is made. It's time to celebrate. It's time to completely dismiss Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2".
Those of us old enough to remember watching anime in the 80's might remember a rather good yet violet series called 'Fist of the North Star'. It was set in a gory post-apocalyptic world and is often refered to as one of the best animes of its time. Fast forward to 2013 and its setting is still quite popular today, though the recent video game the anime inspired, Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2, is far inferior to its source material.
Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 leaves no lasting impression and is only fleetingly entertaining, at best. The combat is repetitive to the point of disinterest, the power-up system lacks impact and the Dream Mode feels more like busy work and time filler. C’mon Tecmo Koei, take a chance and break the mould a little. Those of you hoping and praying for a return to former glory, Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 isn’t it.
What a waste of an incredible, classic manga/anime property.
