Lens of Truth: Head2Head - Golden Axe - Beast Rider

Lens of Truth writes; " Continuing through our trek of games from 2008, we sat down with Golden Axe: Beast Rider for our latest Head2Head and boy were we in for a surprise. Developed by Secret Level and published by Sega, this game was nothing more then a rip off of Heavenly Sword. In the end the comparison came close but only one system made this game only horrible, while the other was just plain shameful. We hope you enjoy this Head2Head cause we actually suffered through this one.

wow, that is some serious tearing...they are even in the screen shots. I really wanted to like this game too. Ah well, gonna have to dust off the original Golden Axe and have a go.

Keowrath5550d ago

I loved the original back in the arcade and on the megadrive and was psyched to hear they were doing a next gen version (or rather current gen) but I was put off from the original unveiling of screenshots last year (or was it the year before?)

This is the first time I've seen it running and damn! What a mess!

Why they couldn't stick to the original premise of the game is beyond me, although with the amount of tearing with only one character on screen I can only imagine what 3 PLAYERS would do lol.

SEGA, what happened to you!?

ArthurLee5550d ago

The original Golden Axe rocks, stick to that one.
That's some awful tearing BTW.

evildeli5550d ago

The screen tearing was just bad.

ArthurLee5549d ago

How about an install, that would have helped I think. I wonder why they didn't use one with the tearing being that bad.

GEESE5550d ago (Edited 5550d ago )

It looks like to me, these games use the exact same textures, just that it certain games the ps3 renders them a little 'blurry' and the 360 texture ends up looking more detailed.
I don't think that there are actually better textures or more information on the 360 ones, it's a rendering issue on multi games I think.

360 man5550d ago

360 version more detailed

360 man5550d ago

why compare such a crap game

ArthurLee5549d ago

There has to be a Golden Axe fan somewhere right?

stealyrface5549d ago

why you say? why?? someone out there may actually like a terribly produced game, I mean WOW everyone gave GTA IV rave reviews and it was one of the most awful looking games this generation. Maybe SEGA didn't spend enough advertising money to sway the the review sites. Assassin's Creed anyone!?

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

Fonsecap477d ago

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

RetroCaptainSteve477d ago

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

Fonsecap476d ago

There was nothing "wise" about that game 😅

14 Games That Made The Worst Transition From 2D To 3D

Not every game made the transition to 3D as smoothly as Mario or Zelda. Here are 15 games that made the worst transition from 2D to 3D.

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

gamerben2774d ago

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

gamerben2774d 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_BLM2774d ago

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

zodiac9092774d 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.

zodiac9092774d ago (Edited 2774d ago )

Uhh summa lumma dooma lumma

WheatBread2774d ago

The SF EX games were actually pretty good.

KwietStorm_BLM2774d ago

They didn't deserve to be printed on disc.

Bass_fisherman2774d ago (Edited 2774d ago )

This article could be made 10 years ago lmao

KaoSouL2774d 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.

Yukes3133d ago

I thought it was great fun!

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

Yui_Suzumiya3132d 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.

lordmiffter3133d 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.

Skellytorx3133d ago

Oh god. Some of these were shocking to play!

GamerGabs3133d 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)

ConboyAdam3133d 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
