If you have played a Koei Dynasty Warriors title-there are many and they are all the same-then you more or less know what to expect from Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage. The DW games are mindless button mashers that allow you to build up characters by wading through hundreds of enemies at a time while completing very simple objectives. Don't get me wrong, it can be a lot of fun. It is almost like meditating, as you turn your brain to low and allow buttons and bloodlust to take over. Add in a long-standing support of co-op play, and you have a game that will never be great, but is surprisingly addictive. Fist of the North Star uses the same mechanics and engines, but does it much worse than Dynasty Warriors, which is a shame because it could have been a great game. Well, maybe a good game at least.
