Heads explode in our first look at Fist of the North Star.
The bulk of the game plays out like a 3D version of Double Dragon. Your mindless foes are little more than fleshy bags of blood, and you do them the service of ending what are most assuredly miserable lives. There are super moves in addition to the standard punches and kicks as well. At one point, the hero Kenshiro picked up a dude by his neck, punched him a few times in the face, and then punted him 10 feet away. At another time, he conjured flaming pillars from the ground. Clearly, this guy doesn't take guff from anyone. He can even make his enemies' heads explode after performing a thousand-hand punch. Violence is his mother's maiden name.
Kicking grown men in the chest and head can get exhausting after a while, but there are vehicles to ferry you around when your legs are tired. We saw Kenshire ride on top of a horse and motorcycle, knocking down foes on his way to his next location.
Version we saw today continues to build the Japanese games, but the developer promises us that mindless enemies will be more thoughtful of artificial intelligence, and violence will be even stronger. Fist of the North Star will be released this fall for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Tune him GameSpot whether the claim even more bloodshed came to fruition, and if the game is fun to play.
