Golden Axe: Beast Rider – sound

Not thrilled about the music I hear, the voice acting seems pretty nice (though probably ultra linear, thereby reducing my chances of ever going back to it like they say they aim). As for the level artwork: not thrilled with it’s look or polish but based on the concepts it might be at least an okay artwork. Still, if it’s just going to involve killing a kazillion monsters my fingers hurt just thinking about it. Also, as they seem to be aware themselves, this is a new team and i wouldn’t be surprised if their second title showed a much improved workflow. I dare hope this game will have the potential of Drakan… but it may turn out to be yet another kill-everything bland thing too: still, it’s set in a fantasy world so I’ll probably one day give it a try, but so far they haven’t really made me drool.
