Game works perfectly fine, and seems like a lot of fun. The game was also very well packed and got to me sooner than expected.

Got stuck early in game when approaching a glass wall that I'm supposed to jump out of, following a sequence of running across falling floor of a building. There's supposed to be a QTE button displayed on screen that allows character to jump out of window but this never appears on screen. Went through same sequence multiple times trying different techniques each time but there's really only one way to make it to end of sequence without dying. Unable to progress any farther without QTE prompt to continue. Also QTE events in general seem unfair, without enough time to react after button on screen is displayed. I needed to replay QTE sequence at least twice every time a QTE prompts appeared. Game is very over-reliant on QTE events and there's not enough time given to complete QTE events correctly.Read full review

This game is great if you grew up with beat em up type of games. Fist of the north star does start off slow but then once you keep progressing through the story it gets better. The further you get the more you unlock like stronger characters and unlocking characters not just for the story mode but also other modes like dream mode. You can go alone or with a friend via split screen in dream mode. There is another mode called challenge mode but i can't really say much because i haven't tried it. The Gallery is everything from cut scenes and info on each character and people you encounter in the game. From people complaining about the voices it can be switched from English to Japanese in the options.The controls are fine it's just people don't play enough to get the hang of the camera and moves available. The graphics are good and matches the games theme and the music is perfect for the action that is shown on screen. I would recommend this game to all fans of beat em up games.Read full review
I´m a huge fan of Fist of North Star and if you like it as well, this game is a must. Pros: story line and characters are very accurate to original series, game mode is fun, boses are great. Cons: minions (punks) and each stage are pretty much the same thing all along the game, with a few exeptions (Fang Clan, Raoh´s soldiers etc).
This is one of those games where you buy it or rent it because you either like beat em ups or your a fan of the North Star. I'm probably going to assume your a fan Fist. With that having been said its an OK beat em up. But if your a fan your going to love this game. I am pacing it out but the first 3 hours of this have been a joy. Once I got used to not having the same voices but that didn't take long. Lots of repetative action but then again the show was that way so it never gets old. Achievements are a bit on the ruff side. If you plan on getting them all then you'll invest 20-30 hours in this game to get em.
