It is a kind of sequel of Mad World, one of Platinum Games' most stylish games. Its PvP mode is fast-paced, frantic, stylish with colorful characters and random events and items. Every character is OP so none of them were. It was the best game on the PS3 to just jump in and do Death Ball, a 3-man CTF or a Battle Royale with 16 people. I want this on GoG because it could be a great jump-in game and Platinum has released some of their games on PC already, but overlooked this one.
The arena fighter that should have been the blueprint for hundreds more to come. The original Battle Royale. Anarchy Reigns was PlatinumGames' take on the 3rd person melee action genre and it was perfect. Multiple modes to jump in and just see ABSOLUTE CHAOS. Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Dogfight(3v3 HELICOPTER BATTLES), Top this all off with a soundtrack that has spread so far and wide it's used for several edits and compilations. It is truly a cult classic

The more I learn about this game, the more I feel it deserved a better chance than it got. Platinum put so much work and creativity into this one. Like many I discovered it through the soundtrack but stayed for the personality and gameplay.

Custom Robo
Custom RoboCustom Robo is sort of a sci-fi action take on Nintendo's own collect-and-battle style Pokemon titles. In the game's story mode, you slip into the role of a young boy who has just built his very own toy robot who goes by the name of Lei. Together with your cousin, you head down towards Robo Station to take part in a giant Custom Robo battle championship that takes place in the local Holosseum. The ultimate goal is to improve your skills so that you can defeat the champion Custom Robo builder of them all, Mamoru. Gameplay involves robo customization and frantic action battles in confined 3D arenas. Followed by a sequel.

Twisted Metal
Twisted MetalTwisted Metal consists of a series of arena-based battles against an increasing number of opponents in increasingly large arenas. These battles culminate in a face-off with the winner of the previous year's competition, Darkside, who drives a large armored car which fires multiple missiles at once. Players can choose one of 12 different vehicles with which to enter combat. Each vehicle has a distinct driver and special move. The controls consist of accelerator, brake, "tight turn" (essentially a handbrake) and turbo on the face buttons, with main weapons and machine gun selection and control on the shoulder buttons. Arenas are populated with weapon pickups to re-supply missile stocks, repair stations for repairing damage to your car, pedestrians, and course stewards armed with either machine guns or missile launchers.
