Asuras Wrath PS3 reviews

Asura's Wrath is fun to play it's like your taking part in an anime, Asura is even voiced by Liam O'Brien who voices Gaara in the Naruto anime.

You play as asura through most of the game but do get to play as yasha, asura's rival/brot­her-in-law (seeing parts of the conflict through another characters eyes).

There also download content on the psn network for lost episodes where you fight ryu & akuma from street fighter (voices in japanese for the street fighter eps) and some extra missions that happen after the story of the game.

Not worth full price, but yet awesome

The story will be familiar to most; a demigod betrayed, and overcome by his thirst for revenge. But the unfolding narrative of a lost man seeking to reunite his family becomes surprisingly real and personal. The game plays as vignettes; you get a cut scene, some exposition, then a combat arena. You are not always in control here. Though the combat mechanics are solid, you will almost always be building a power bar to unleash a QTE finisher. However, the physicality of the fight, the beautiful art-style and scope of the action (a fight may start in a crater and end with a sword that can pierce planets) mean you'll likely never care. This is a ride worth taking.

This is not a game it's a glorified Manga comic. Overly-simplistic QTE's with extremely monotonus beat 'em up sections. The game requires no skill what-so-ever and gets very boring very quickly. 1 star for an interesting concept
