A new multiplayer trailer for Anarchy Reigns, the forthcoming brawler from SEGA and Platinum Studios, has arrived with a bang (several actually). Though there is plenty of over the top action, there is also a decided lack of variety.

Only a couple of modes are showcased in the 90 second video (one being Deathmatch, the other a Horde variant). Further, the handful of environments shown are drab, static and unimaginative, particularly in comparison to those of the Power Stone series. The game does allow players to whip out a rocket launcher in the middle of a fight, so that has to count for something.

Anarchy Reigns is also notable for its cast. It features a variety of characters from Platinum’s 2009 Wii exclusive MadWorld, including chainsaw wielding protagonist Jack Cayman and his arch enemy Black Baron (now known as Blacker Baron) along with a range of entirely new combatants.

Anarchy Reigns is set to arrive on 360 and PS3 in January 2012.
