With such a great license, Fist of the North Star squanders the potential it had to be an exciting and enjoyable game. It's undoubtedly better than the original game (only released in Japan; this game was called Hokuto no Ken 2), but even though it is not broken beyond playability, that hardly seems a good reason to endure a game this poorly made. I had wrung some fun out of it when I was seven, but it seems that my tastes have shifted a bit since 1989. Go figure.
Still, even if it is random garbage tiles flying in every which direction when you kill someone, it is awesome that you can punch someone in the head and watch them explode.
