"Super sexy flaming fists of fire!"
Max Anarchy is a 3D beat em up by the masters of the genre, Platinum Games. It’s possibly the most hectic, high action game they’ve created yet, which says a lot, considering they’ve created Bayonetta, Mad World, and God Hand.
The game is split into two modes: campaign and multiplayer. The focus of the game is in the multiplayer, and it’s the main drawing point to the market. It works great, and although it’s hard for a new player to jump in, it’s fun whether you win or lose.
There’s a ton of game modes, and so far, a very active player base. But, the story mode. I was impressed with Platinum’s earlier attempts at creating and showing a world gone mad, but Max Anarchy completely obliterates their previous effort in nearly every way. The story is possibly one of the most thought provoking, damn near flawlessly executed social dramas to ever be attempted in an action game.
Just as Madworld was the tale of a world gone mad, Max Anarchy is the tale of people inside the Mad World. Justice, corruption, revenge, money, pain, power, all set to the backdrop of a world gone insane. It’s moving, entertaining, and engaging. A noted downside to the game’s story is the general lack of difficulty, but if you’re in the middle of that clusterfuck battle in the endgame, and you’re thinking about whether the game is challenging enough, there’s something gone wrong with you.
