SEGA’s large E3 2011 booth featured a nice cross-section of titles (Sonic Generations, Binary Domain) but the game that appealed the most to my sensibilities was Anarchy Reigns, Platinum Game’s new multiplayer beat ‘em up. I’ve followed the game for some time now, attempting to suss out its gameplay mechanics from a string of videos and screen shots, but it wasn’t until hands-on time this week that I was able to experience it. And I walked away more than a little impressed.
