I don't know what sucks more the fact that I may have even less to say about this game or the fact that I won't have enough time to make an impact on the tour today (You can try all you want Becerra95, you may have crossed me on the graph but you're still behind me! and it will stay that way) thank god Reviews count as threads, and thank god this week is a rate week. Struggling right now is not my choice, last week was my cousins wedding week and I had to do my hair, my nails, and yesterday was the ceremony and today is the post-wedding barbecue (Plus I'm going for my Sunday swim) hell I'm barely going to have time to play anything today aside from the silent Sunday playing
Gameplay and Story: So Zeus's daughter Athena was kidnapped by wait what was the name of the evil guy again? Neff, so Zeus resurrects a random nameless Roman Centurian to do the deed, where the hero battles Zombies, flying things, headsuckers (they are green in this game) and many more, and you have to kick these three headed beasts to upgrade our strength, we turn into werewolves, weredragons, werebears, weretigers and of course the golden werewolf.
Graphics: Well it's a coin-op game so it's got better graphics than the console games, how so? well in this version you can clearly see that we are looking at a crystal ball in the cut scenes, and yeah we can see the cut scenes more clearly, also we see a different ending here like apparently the coin-op games have different endings, here we see that this was all a big staged production
Soundtrack: There may be an improvement on the graphics but we have the same two background tracks pre-transformation, and post transformation and boss round, but they sound different.
Addictive: Well no I haven't played it enough to consider it addictive
Depth: This took me a long time to finish, even though it has the same number of stages so there isn't much difference (at least when Golden Axe went to console it offered wait (one youtube later) geez I think Genesis offered that extra ending, the Genesis version of Altered Beast didn't offer anything extra at all
Difficulty: the only thing difficult about this is the jump function. The character had to jump while kicking which made things difficult, I'd rather he stayed on the ground while doing this because the kicks were good defenses on the Genesis.
Post review Follow Up: Oh yeah this is getting a movie too, but I'm more excited for the Streets of Rage movie (which I will review once it does come out)
This concludes my review join me tomorrow when I review...Arthur's computer adventure, and spend the rest of the week trying to find a different coin-op to play that's nice on the eyes and doesn't work here
