I don't recall any excellent SEGA games being released in years...

Is Death Adder/Bringer in this? The lighting Gnome? etc. My memories of Golden Axe were a magical Conan knock off of ass-kickery with little focus on beast riding. It seems the opposite.

But I totally agree with you about the colors. That's the one reason my friend wanted to play with me.

Golden Axe is fun for about 30 minutes, a good arcade quarter muncher. How about a Phantasy Star V?

I would love an ultra-violent hack 'n' slash party game with crazy characters that didn't take itself too seriously.

But this gets a resounding "meh."

They didn't release the third game in the west until 2006 on the PS2 Genesis compilation, yet they are reviving the series.

On the other hand, Streets of Rage isn't getting the same treatment despite the fact that it was more popular overall.

I still play the 2nd and 3rd games once in a while to this day. It never gets old.

Would be lovely if it was side-scrolling with those graphics, but I think I might be a little naive hoping for that!

There was this one movie - it showed no real gameplay, IIRC, but if the game's anything like suggested, it will be alright for it to be called Golden Axe. ;)

I won't pick apart these screens because I'm grateful for what we've got. I'm old enought to remember the originals, so I'm happy.

Kickass. I always liked her best, even though I played Gilius solo (because of his reach and damage).

I hope to play a good action-based J-RPG once in my life time (I hate turn-based with a passion). I want to expand my action-rpg diet as the next elder-scrolls isn't due for another 4-7 years and Fallout can't come soon enough... I have no problems with high-fantasy either :)
