"If you grew up in the early '90s, chances are you have fond memories of you and a chum hacking-and-slashing and side-scrolling your way through Golden Axe on the Sega Genesis. That was nearly twenty years ago, old-timer.
That long time span makes Sega's decision to revive the franchise with Golden Axe: Beast Rider seem strange and maybe ill-advised. After all, how many gamers even recognize the name Golden Axe? Secret Level promised us that Beast Rider would provide that same wonderful hack-and-slash gameplay but in three glorious dimensions for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Sadly, when they informed us earlier this year that it wouldn't have the co-op play the original was so revered for, many fans simply dismissed it as not being worth their time. Those fans were wrong to do so, however, as Golden Axe: Beast Rider is entirely dismissible exclusive of that omission. You could stick any title on this game and it would still stink."

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
