This is just as frustrating and fun as the original.
User Rating: 7.5 | Golden Axe: Beast Rider PS3
Lots of reviewers have already posted there hate for this game, going as far as to give it 3 out of 10. Is it broken? No. It is actually insanely mechanically sound. Poor graphics? No, it is very much on par with 3D action games. gameplay? Yes and no. The game play is an exact replica of the original golden axe ,but in 3D. You fight an enemy and another gets you in the back. The enemies take multible hits before dying. They even turn to stone when they die. What they hate about it is that it is an amazing remake of Golden Axe, when what they wanted was a FPS or a turn based RPG. If you hate this genre, then golden axe isn't gonna win you over, but worth the money for a real fan.
Most of the frustration lies in the insane learning curve, but is no worse the Ninja Gaiden 2 and in my opinion Golden Axe in most cases is much better then the Ninja rehash from earlier this year.
