![]() ![]() Rather than being majestic mounts that allow you to crush everything in your path, these poor dumb animals prove to be a hindrance to progress whenever you're required to use them. Ride them into battle and you'll likely be knocked off instantly, only for an enemy to jump on board, when suddenly the beast becomes almost impervious to injury. They also have special attacks that reduce their health whenever you use them. Their health is pathetically low, and they're even more vulnerable to damage than the lithe and nearly naked young woman riding on their backs. The beasts, for example, are not only a nightmare to control but they're apparently made from tissue paper and plasticine. Nothing here feels intuitive, inviting or even fun. In fact, it's hard to find a single aspect of the gameplay that hasn't been grossly mishandled in some vital way. You can ride on a variety of beasts, but they're sluggish to control. You can throw the Golden Axe to hit switches and other items, but it's slow to aim. You can summon up magical attacks, which are a pain to aim. It takes its name from a classic arcade game but everything else is generic and bland, a bargain basement facsimile of, for some reason, Heavenly Sword.Īs in Sony's decent but forgettable romp, our heroine is a buxom flame-haired warrior, set loose in a button-mashing hackandslash environment to carve her way through hordes of enemies with a fabled magical weapon. Golden Axe: Beast Rider is the sort of lazy, depressing remake that used to be the norm. And here comes SEGA - having got it so right with After Burner on the PSP - once again flailing around and looking hopelessly out of touch. Capcom brought back a slew of their 1980s classics, with Commando, 1942, Bionic Commando and Mega Man all receiving good to great retro-styled modern sequels. Namco gave us Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions, both classic in style yet undeniably modern in construction.
