Fist of the North Star is an easy sell, especially as a game. Main-man Kenshiro punches men so hard that they literally explode, and the goofy post-apocalypse world is packed with crazy characters, like burly knuckleheads with pigtails.

+ As ridiculous as its source material in all the right ways

- Stiff, slow, and same-y combat; worthless if you're not an über-fan, - Crap level design, enemy A.I., and boss fights, ? Who's buying these games...and why?

By Kevin "Berserker" Hall Player(s): 1 Extra Feature(s): Download Content (extra Ken outfit, extra playable characters) I mainly remember Fist of the North Star from the anime movie that was released back in the early 1980's.

So what we have here is Fist of the North Star, a game developed by Koei, based off a manga called...well, Fist of the North Star. It centers on a warrior named Kenshiro, who beats the shit out of people and then makes them explode.

Fist of the North Star is a love story. It's a love story between a man and his fists-fists that make people explode. Realizing it would be selfish to keep this love all to himself, he journeys into the world to share his exploding fists with whomever will have them.

The ultraviolent manga series Fist of the North Star is rightfully no stranger to videogame adaptation. It centres on Kenshiro, the successor to a fictional branch of martial arts that can heal physical and psychological wounds.

Concept: Take a nearly forgotten anime and give it the Dynasty Warriors treatment Graphics: Koei must have glanced at the color spectrum and decided to stick with brown. Most of the backgrounds look like they were hit by the apocalypse Sound: The game allows you to listen to the original Japanese...

: Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage is one of the best Dynasty Warriors styled games to come from Koei for a long while, as well as a generally solid game overall, and while there are some flaws to the product, the positives outweigh the negatives.

Look, I'm not about to lie to anyone - I know little to nothing about the source material for Koei Tecmo's new platformer, beat ‘em up Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage . After playing it, I'm still not sure - I just know there's a lot of gruesome killing...by fingertips.

Do you like 3d beat em ups of yester years? you know games like fighting force,the bouncer or maybe a little known title called urban reign. Well FOTNS is what your looking for. But is the game good?
