Just goes to show that everything that goes onto the HD consoles isn't necessarily good. But I'm sure you guys will enjoy your shovelware ;)

Xbox360/PS3 shovelware is atleast 3x better then Wii shovelware.

If this were on the Wii, it would have been AAA

PS3 has pretty cases though. So atleast it's good looking crap.

Doesn't matter, I buy games to play them not look at them.

Least it's in 1080p. Enjoy your 480i shovelware! 8)

From the Review: "you have to perfectly time when you press the parry button to match the forthcoming hit of your opponent, but not too early and not too late."

WTF is he talking about? That's exactly what you expect from a parry button!

This is clearly biased. Not that i think the game is good, but don't believe IGN.

But this is a hardcore game, and you have MS fanboys who keep touting the attach rate. No no, it would have sold better on the 360... allegedly ;)

Yeah, more then enough. Start putting that shovelware on the other systems :)

I've been playing this game for a couple of hours now; I picked it up this afternoon along with Dead Space before seeing any reviews, based on the fact that I was a huge fan of Golden Axe as a kid.

Is the game disspointing? Yes and no, since I wasn't expecting much but I was hoping it would do the GA name justice.

Is it a 3.2? NO!

It's mediocre all around but it isn't as terrible as the IGN reveiwer is making it out to be. I've had no problem with either evasion or parrying.

Overall, I don't see how this game is so much worse than Conan. It's lacking overall and quite flawed, but it's playable and even entertaining if like hack and slash fantasy-type games and aren't expecting God of War. I'm somewhat dissapointed and I probably shouldn't have dropped $60 on this game, but that review is WAY too harsh. Genji is MUCH worse than this, IMO.

That's what you get for taking out co-op and multiple classes

That was one of the most poorly written reviews I've ever read.

I'm not partial to the game, I really don't care what score the game gets.

Sega.....

Danm, there goes the hope I had this might be not that bad of a game...

I still might have to get it though being a big GA fan.

Now we are argueing who has better shoverlware. Lawlz. If this was on Wii, I would do it like any other shovelware on any other console, and ignore it. LOL!

I have more of a genuine interest in this title then Wii Shovelware. Atleast the Wii titles I can think off the top of my head. That doesn't however mean it's better or worse.

The claim that it would be AAA on Wii is absurd.

why didnt they just remake Golden Axe II, with updated graphics but keeping it in 2D, adding online co-op + maybe some fresh new levels... at a reasonable price on both PSN Store & Live Market it would probably sell better and achieve a higher score :)

i would surely get one... loved the series back in the 16 bit era :)
