This game reviewer is not pro. Can I have his job?

The reviewer has no clue what he is talking about. Just about everything he says in this article is completely false, except the fact that he can't handle the awesome combat system in this game and resorts to button mashing.

The controls are fluid. The beasts are awesome. The graphics are on par with any current next gen title and have their own You need the beasts to help you with some of the bigger mobs in this game so you should certainly "bother" with them. Hell they are a big part of the game like the original. In fact there is plenty of tribute to the original as one could notice if they knew what to look for.

I was addicted like crazy to the original. In fact when it came out in the arcade in the states and I moved to japan I was dissapointed it wasn't in the arcades there... Then I found out it had been on home systems for over a year on the sega genesis and was the reason I purchased that system.

This game has a complex combat system that must be learned and mastered. It can be frustrating if you mash buttons and score lower than a C grade, but thats what makes the replayability of this classic game great. I played 4 levels last night and the story btw is awesome. Too many rpg's have similar/lame stories and this one changes that...

This sets the new benchmark for rpg's in fact it could be said that golden axe may have inspired many rpg's that we see today. I love it when a game is innovative and the color coded combat system makes things interesting instead of a bunch of button mashing. or mashing the same "uber" attack over and over to kill mobs. Please note developers we are sick of your cookie cutter B.S.

I can't wait to get home to play it tonight and its been a long time since a game has done that for me. In fact i've played so many games for so many years most of them jade me.

The only thing missing in this game would be multiplayer coop online. (hard to do local/split screen sucks anyway.)
