On normal the game provides little challenge, even the boss fights, which are at least a little more involved and interesting, are pretty easy to pass. That said, your enjoyment of the single player side of the game is going to depend solely on how inventive you feel like being. There’s a fair amount of variety there, and while the requirement to reach a certain score for level unlocks could lead to some boredom in between, you’ll generally have little issue scoring enough points in Free Missions to advance without the need for grinding. These missions are all about scoring high totals, and offer up a variety of ways to take on bad guys with unique clearing requirements. Garner enough points and you’ll unlock two types of missions, one type that advances the story, and another labeled as Free Mission. Here you can get into random fights with local thugs, which in turn add to your point total upon defeat. For each chapter, four a piece for each “side”, you’ll be plopped down in a somewhat open setting to explore. The structure for the single player campaign is sort of unique. The alternate side, White, features Max’s former partners hunting him down for the same reason. The Black Side of this story come from Jack, the protagonist of Mad World, hired to hunt down Max by Max’s own daughter, after Max is wanted for the death of his own wife. For your initial playthrough you’ll pick either White Side or Black Side, giving you control of one of two characters as you make your way through the storyline that sees you hunting down a rogue peacekeeper/agent by the name of Max. The single player side of Anarchy Reigns might be seen as an excuse to unlock the roster for the multiplayer portion of the game, but I found myself having a fair amount of fun with it. Despite carrying over a setting and roster, Anarchy Reigns feels like a very different game to Mad World, and is more akin to an old-school beat ‘em up than anything else, with a heavy emphasis on an online multiplayer component that actually feels reminiscent of Dreamcast classic Power Stone. Anarchy Reigns is the newest Platinum Games developed title published under SEGA’s roof, featuring a number of familiar characters culled from Mad World, one of the earliest titles by the developers over at PG that debuted on the Nintendo Wii a number of years ago.
