GameSpot E3 2008: Golden Axe: Beast Rider Hands-On

GameSpot writes: "Golden Axe's triumphant return to the modern era is largely unchanged from the classic medieval brawler. You still run around with a huge sword, unleash magic attacks and beat up sack-wielding gnomes for goodies. The biggest difference is that cooperative play has been left out entirely; you'll have to slay these dragons alone. We went hands-on with the first level of Golden Axe: Beast Rider today, and it retains the fun, grizzly feel of the original.

Combat is slightly deeper than in the arcade versions of the game. You have two moves for attacks which can be strung together to unleash combos. You also have a button to block and another to parry. Enemy attacks have a specific color trail that tells you which button to use to counter them. If you can nail the timing, you can dish out some quick, brutal justice."

Agreed. Don't forget to include the classic red/white one piece for the amazon.

Fonsecap515d ago

We definitely need a good golden axe Game, dotemu should definitely do it, and Capcom should remake final fight

RetroCaptainSteve514d ago

As long as it's not like Streetwise, I agree.

Fonsecap513d ago

There was nothing "wise" about that game 😅

Why do you have a screen from Street Fighter X Tekken for Street Fighter EX?

gamerben2811d ago

Iirc you couldn't "move in a circle" in EX like the article states either

gamerben2811d ago

Lmao also, worms 3d wasn't even a first person shooter at all either... It was turned based like the original games... Someone didn't research

KwietStorm_BLM2811d ago

Yet I have 2 disagrees lol this site never ceases to amaze.

zodiac9092811d ago

@KwietStorm Don't you know this is not "News 4 Gamers" anymore, it's "Negativity 4 Gamers." A Place where if you say something complementary or ask for some helpful advice, no one gives 2 shits. But AS SOON AS you say something opinionated or controversial, get ready for a riot, mass homocide, and a lynchin' bro.

Uhh summa lumma dooma lumma

WheatBread2811d ago

The SF EX games were actually pretty good.

KwietStorm_BLM2811d ago

They didn't deserve to be printed on disc.

Bass_fisherman2811d ago (Edited 2811d ago )

This article could be made 10 years ago lmao

KaoSouL2811d ago

I actually played the Street Fighter EX games way more than I'll ever play SFV.

Duke Nukem really was awful. It was sad trying to see people defend it.

Yukes3170d ago

I thought it was great fun!

Sorry, can't keep it up. Such a disappointment.

Yui_Suzumiya3169d ago

I enjoyed it and as far as I remember, I was the only one defending it, lol. I was actually giving it a 10/10 on sites to counter balance all the idiotic troll reviews.

lordmiffter3170d ago

Can someone put a pillow over Sonic's face and hold it down until he stops struggling? It'll be an act of kindness.

Skellytorx3170d ago

Oh god. Some of these were shocking to play!

GamerGabs3170d ago

So many disappointments. It's so sad when a well loved franchise looks like it's dying in front of your eyes. (I miss you Sonic, I hope you come back some day)

ConboyAdam3170d ago

I dunno, I think these games are great in a certain way. They're a fantastic counter argument against reboots in general and that at least is something
