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.

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!?

The screen tearing was just bad.

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

3 - The texture on multi games...
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.

what an amazing game, I wonder if I should buy both versions. MWAHAHAHA!!! Terrible!! one might say. This is shameful and since SEGA produced it , it makes me rethink my joy when I learned SEGA renewed its hardware license. If they are going to put their name on a game like this, the SATURN shall be resurrected.
