A great deal of importance has been placed on the players ability to parry enemy attacks by using the right trigger and analogue stick. Playing as Raiden you chain together attacks and combos using a mixture of light and strong attacks to wear foes down.

In terms of actually playing Revengeance, it feels pretty much like a direct continuation of Platinum's work with the Bayonetta franchise, with bravura action sequences meeting an extremely robust combat system. The giant robot quota required of a Metal Gear game is suitably filled In a break from Metal Gear tradition, where characters usually perform amazing feats of physical endurance and strength in cut-scenes before reverting to fragile humanity when we actually get our hands on them, here the disconnect is less evident, with plenty of the game's spectacle being under our control. Thanks to his range of swords and free-running ability he is actually fun to control.

So how does Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance stack up to those titles, while shouldering the weight of the cumbersome Metal Gear Franchise? In fact it stacks up rather well indeed, the excess and style of Platinum Games' creative vision is a good fit for the Hollywood-meets-anime styling of Metal Gear and returning hero Raiden has long since graduated from the effete disappointment of Metal Gear Solid 2, having since transformed into a ludicrously growly voiced cyborg ninja. But just as significantly it also marks the PC debut of Platinum Games, whose lunatic brilliance shone in titles like Vanquish and Bayonetta. For many PC Gamers, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance marks a welcome return for Konami's popular franchise to the PC.
