PLAY Magazine | Golden Axe: Beast Rider Review

PLAY Magazine writes: "Beast Rider is a pure action game, free of prompts, navigation, wordy cinematics, quick time events, inventory screens or item management, and based on swordplay, beast riding and magic-period. In an era of games stuffed with excess and all manner of diversions to draw the player out of the game, Secret Level have forged those fundamentals into an enormous game that sucks you in and keeps you riveted by constantly building on its core while traversing some of the most grandiose panoramas ever produced out of polygons. Not panoramas as in periodically peering over a great expanse-the "levels" in Beast Rider are panoramas; you can always see the entire region. It oozes seventh-generation technology."

Man I am absolutely loving this game. Its really sad that this game has received the low scores that it has because it doesn't deserve them. Damn you IGN. I believe that too many sites (IGN, Eurogamer, etc) gave up on the game way too early and didn't really give the game its chance to show what its all about. The game is kind of slow in the beginning but serves as a good opportunity to get used to the game mechanics before moving on to the later levels where you really have to know what you are doing to proceed.

I definitely recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of pure action games. However, if you do try the game out I urge you to give it some time before declaring the game a dud ala IGN.

Oh and how could I forget to mention the most wonderful aspect of the game, the lovely Tyris. Need I say more?

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

RetroCaptainSteve492d ago

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

Fonsecap491d ago

There was nothing "wise" about that game 😅

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

gamerben2789d ago

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

gamerben2789d 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_BLM2789d ago

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

zodiac9092789d 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

WheatBread2789d ago

The SF EX games were actually pretty good.

KwietStorm_BLM2789d ago

They didn't deserve to be printed on disc.

Bass_fisherman2789d ago (Edited 2789d ago )

This article could be made 10 years ago lmao

KaoSouL2789d 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.

Yukes3148d ago

I thought it was great fun!

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

Yui_Suzumiya3147d 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.

lordmiffter3148d 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.

Skellytorx3148d ago

Oh god. Some of these were shocking to play!

GamerGabs3148d 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)

ConboyAdam3148d 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
