I need a hack and slash action game

Something like Bloodrayne, or something in that genre.

I havent tried any Prince of Persia games, would one of those be good?

Also, any other recommendations appreciated.

DIABLO BATTLECHEST its a super great buy.pvtdonut54

That's not a hack and slash ACTION game.

Wow didnt know Devil May Cry 4 was so good. I thought it was just quick, crappy port.

Maybe I will check it out.

That's like me asking for a sugar free muffin, and you giving me a super fatty cupcake. By the way, I would reccomend DMC 4 also

mrbojangles, you absolutely have to buy Prince of Persia Sands of Time. It will satisfy your desire to cut things to a degree, and it's also an amazing, amazing game. You really have to try it! Playing it is an absolute pleasure from start to finish - probably needs a pad, though.

For a full blown cut 'em up, try Blade of Darkness. It's probably got the best melee combat I've ever seen in a game

PC: Devil May Cry 4

360: Castle Crashers, Golden Axe, TMNT arcade, Streets of Rage 2

Any suggestions for pads?

I play a good amount of 360 at friends so I should problably just get one of those, unless anyone has a better/cheaper recommendation.

And ya, I think I will get PoP it seems like a good franchise. Played the demo and thought it was cool.

I use a PlayStation 2 pad with a USB adaptor. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best pad out there for games best played with a pad. Unlike the 360 pad, It doesn't work well in games where you need independent control of character and camera at the same time, like FPS games, but you aren't going to be playing those with a pad anyyway.

I don't really know anything about PC pads, but people seem to like the 360 pad.

What I use:

Works very well and feels very well constructed.

I just started Lord of the Rings:Return of the King last night and it seems pretty good. This is the first action game I've played as well,other than Sands of Time(which was excellent).

I went ahead and bought a logitech gamepad yesterday for Return of the King,but it actually plays fairly well just with the key/mouse. Its got some pretty nice moves/combo that are fun.

Yes. This is true Hack & Slash. You can cut enemies heads and limbs off in this game. Really, good combat system.

LOL assasin creed combat is worst i have ever seen.U think all enemys surrounding u and standing there so that u can kill them 1 by 1 is good combatsandeep410

Yeah? It's my opinion and if you played past the first memory, you might think the same.

Well, when things like this are a regular occurrence, it's kind of hard to think very highly of the combat. I think he killed 11 guys there, and they mostly just stood around watching him while shouting This will not be difficult or, for some reason Are you trying to lose me? Pretty pathetic AI means pretty pathetic combat.

Yeah, I've seen that video before. That seriously looks so incredibly unengaging. It actually hurts just to watch it (I'm not kidding, I feel what can only be described as mental pain while watching the video).

True dat.

Any of the Dynasty /Samurai Warrior Games or at best Warriors Orochi which includes Characters from both.

Also Dark Messiah is fantastic.

I recommend Dark Messiah of Might and Magic- a very good hack/slash game.skyyfox1

Yeah Dark Messiah was very under-rated. and you should also try DMC4 and the POP series.

How many were there in 2007? And how many were there in 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, ect?

That's not a hack and slash ACTION game.

Diablo II isn't an action game? Are you kidding me? Sure it's got RPG elements, but it remains one of the all time great action hack and slash games.

If Diablo is a hack and Slash game then so is Sacred, Titan Quest, Dungeon Seige 1 and 2, and Silverfall.

I agree Dark Messiah also falls in this genre.. but as for Bloodrayne... it cannot be compared you better off looking at Soul Reaver or the like.

Some old hack and slash games would be Witchaven 1 and 2 and of course Deathtrap Dungeon
