In fact, Anarchy Reigns is something of a hybrid of traditional fighting games. Streets of Rage-style beat 'em up titles meets online shooters like Unreal Tournament.
As with that game, Anarchy Reigns is designed around cinematic, stylized fisticuffs, but unlike Bayonetta, Platinum's latest is focused heavily on its multiplayer component.

(This game was reviewed on the PlayStation Vita on a copy provided by Namco Bandai) That’s a shame too, since the frame of a good game was in place. What more is there to say? Something went horribly wrong with this game somewhere along the way. It really is too bad too, since the graphics and the controls are excellent. With a $29.99 price tag, the missing elements are inexcusable. Ridge Racer on the Vita is like ordering a steak dinner and only getting the sides and garnish. It will take about two hours before you have seen and done everything, and maybe another before your patience wears thin. And in Ridge Racer, there isn’t.Īnd that’s it, that’s the entire game. But there needs to be something waiting for you at the end to justify your time.
RIDGE RACER PS VITA GAMEPLAY UPGRADE
Putting in your dues as a noob to the game and forcing you to work hard to upgrade to the really cool stuff is not a big deal, or even uncommon. Even racing against someone a single level higher than you guarantees defeat. It is not only frustrating, it is “never want to play this game again” frustrating. To increase these feelings of inadequacy, you can race against the ghost data of online racers, but you cannot filter the level of ghost racer you face, so you will frequently be destroyed by them unless you stumble across a racer at your level. And not only will you lose, you will be blown away. You can average a speed of 140mph, never so much as nicking a thing, perfectly drifting around each corner, and you will lose to higher level cars. Here’s the catch: These upgrades are vital, and without them, you simply cannot win. To earn more items, you need to level up.
Mind=blown.Īs you unlock the three upgrade slots, you begin to earn more options for what to put in each slot. Yes, your second hard-earned purchase is that the game will offer you tips. So what do you get after that? What reward awaits you for grinding your way through several races that you have very little chance of winning at that point? Tips. Then when you do have the credits, you can unlock nitro, which is admittedly useful. Winning a race gives you 100, so you basically need to just continually grind and grind and grind to earn credits. You have three upgrade slots for all cars, but you need to purchase the slots first. None at all.Īnd then there is the upgrade spot, which has a special spot waiting for it in gaming hell. There is no clear incentive for being on any one of the teams. And what do you get for being on the top team? Absolutely nothing. Once you have selected your team, you will have access to daily team objectives, which typically just tell you who your opponent team is for the day.Įvery team member contributes points to the overall total, and a team leaderboard is constantly being updated. It is an arbitrary choice, and yet you need to choose wisely as you will be locked into this team. When you first begin, you are prompted to join one of four teams that have different stated goals but seem to have no real differences.
