TGR: Golden Axe: Beast Rider Video Game Review

"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."

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

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

RetroCaptainSteve493d ago

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

Fonsecap493d ago

There was nothing "wise" about that game 😅

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

gamerben2791d ago

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

gamerben2791d 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_BLM2791d ago

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

zodiac9092791d 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

WheatBread2791d ago

The SF EX games were actually pretty good.

KwietStorm_BLM2791d ago

They didn't deserve to be printed on disc.

Bass_fisherman2790d ago (Edited 2790d ago )

This article could be made 10 years ago lmao

KaoSouL2790d 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.

Yukes3150d ago

I thought it was great fun!

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

Yui_Suzumiya3149d 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.

lordmiffter3150d 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.

Skellytorx3149d ago

Oh god. Some of these were shocking to play!

GamerGabs3149d 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)

ConboyAdam3149d 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
