I have ordered Golden Axe Beast Rider for the 360. It might even arrive tommorow if I'm lucky.
What people have been telling me about Golden Axe BR is that it is a repetative hack and slash, with a girl with little clothing, and totally not like Golden Axe. Strangly what I remember about Golden Axe is that it is a repetative hack and slash, with a girl with little clothing. There might of been a guy with little clothing as well and perhaps a drawf with a green viking suit but ya know I don't think they opened up any different gameplay options. I'm pretty sure the dwarf didn't open up a drinking game, where you had to out drink ya opponents, nor did the barbarian dude decide to strike up a conversation with other barbarians and compare swords... Thinking about it, I wish it did.
Oddly, from what I've seen, the girl in the new Golden Axe has more clothes then she did in the old Golden Axe but I think Golden Axe is a "untouchable classic" in the eyes of quite a few people, who will not hear a bad word against it because it was "great at the time" so is now a "timeless" title.
Honestly I want it because I want a Hack n Slash game, where I Hack and Slash and Hack and Slash and if someones talking to me... I hack em and slash em. And going with a Golden Axe inspired world, with huge beasts to ride, magic and such like, seemed like a good choice to me.
