Golden Axe Beast Rider for X360 and PS3

Golden Axe Beast Rider is an all-new take on the legendary Golden Axe arcade game and who didn't love that back in the day! Golden Axe has been brought bang up to date for next gen consoles and is said to hold onto some of that nostalgia of old. Not many titles can actually pull this off so it will be interesting to see if SEGA can do it with this title.

KEY FEATURES:
• Mounted combat: Unleash a barrage of bites, claws and special attacks, as well as furious swings from the Hero’s own weapon.
• On-foot combat: In line with the series’ lineage, on-foot combat plays a key role in this game, allowing players to alternate between light attacks, heavy attacks, blocks, ripostes, magic, and grappling.
• Realistic dismemberment: Not only will limbs and heads fly off in sword combat, the beasts in Golden Axe Beast Rider will be able to tear enemies apart as well.
• Fidelity to the classic games: Environments, magic, enemies, and beasts are designed to evoke fond memories of the original games.
• Robust single-player campaign: Single player adventure offers more than 12 hours of critical-path gameplay; the option to choose from one of three heroes to play as increases replay value.
