Anarchy Reigns is a product of Platinum Games, which made one of my favorite games - Bayonetta, so the purchase decision was obvious. The style of crazy, fast and meaty combat is in all of their games, and Anarchy Reigns is no exception. The combat is similar to any arcade type fighting games such as Devil May Cry, God of War, Bayonetta, etc. with some extra unique mechanics such as Killer Weapons. But the main difference is that this one has multiplayer. While the single player campaign might prove to be entertaining for a few hours with some Ok boss fights and not too fancy story, the multiplayer is where most of the fun comes from. The different characters, while having similar combination inputs, perform the combos differently and with different effects and Killer Weapons, which makes every character unique and interesting to play, when you get the hang of him/her. The major downsides, though, are the lack of players and lag. This game was poorly advertised, and thus didn't become quite as popular as it might have. Lag is, ofcourse, highly inconvenient in any fighting game, visual or input delay may, and will, affect the gameplay. Especially in a fast paced game like this which also allows combat against more than one opponent at a time. And, with the lack of people playing it in Europe, having to sometimes find matches in the US doesn't help the issue. Overall, the game is great and well worth the price. Especially considering that it doesn't cost as much as a full priced release.Read full review
I bought this game because I love action titles from Platinum Games. The characters are very unique with fluid, smooth combat and attacks from each of them. There's a bit of a learning curve you have to take to get used to controls, but it's fine. Engaging story and fun online play makes this a great experience.
Its an old game but still enjoyable. Online is completely dead. If any one wants to play some co-op my ps user: Topgamer4u

Brand new with just slightly messed up cellophane, but since it's going to come off anyways it's not a big deal! Excellent value and awesome shipping time!
