 So,
like we waited and waited for a new Golden Axe game
to arrive. And then, sure enough, Sega
announces a new and improved version of Golden Axe
for the Playstation 2. And we see some early
screenshots and we think, "Hey this might be pretty
good!" And then we play it. And it
sucks. It sucks bad. But don't take my
word for it.Paul sends in his review of Golden Axe on the
Playstation 2.
Read on.
Another review by a Japanese gamer:
"It
is the very worst remake. Although waited to
pleasure, expectation was betrayed very much. With
such the result, I can consider that it was better
not to transplant. The Japanese fan was very
much disappointed, and remembers anger to the maker."
I was reading the current issue of Electronic
Gaming Monthly and they reviewed the Sega Classics
Collection for the PS2, which contains a new version
of Golden Axe. Despite getting bad reviews as
a whole, each reviewer singled out Golden Axe as the
worst of the bunch! Well, we wanted a remake
and it looks like the one we got is garbage.
If you want to see for yourself, head over to the
game play movies section.

Full sized front
and back cover of Golden Axe for the
Playstation 2. It looks cool enough from
the outside. |

But then you put
it into your machine and start playing it. |

embarrassed to be in this game. |

Oh, I fell in to a
burning ring of fire . . . |
