Strike fronm the past... almost on the target
User Rating: 6.5 | Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 5: Golden Axe PS2
This game is a re-make of an almost classic late 80's game of the same name. The graphics are almost identical, the controls are almost true to the original, but the sounds are uninspired (if my memory doesnt fail, the cryes of the dying enemies were a lot more louder, and the music was better, Conan like) There are changes from the original, a giant warrior with armour here was changed into a minotaur. And if you wanna jump+strike with your sword / axe, you can use it onli once, but in the old machine you use to hit as ast the strike botton, so your character could easily cut any enemie on your way. If you were in serch for the original, this detracts form the original, but if you doesnt know it, you `ll not see nothing wrong. The original landscapes were a lot better, almost gorgeus (at that time), with good animation Overall this is not a bad game, and it is worth to give it a chance P.D. Did you notice the main word about this games was "almost"?
