It seems kinda pointless with Fable2 due out in a couple of weeks, not sure that even a die hard Axe fan would choose this over Fable2.
Thing is though, Golden Axe had a feel to it, it reeked of 80's barbarian movies with animatronic dragons and long hair. When you play it on MAME you can almost smell the chips cooking in the background. That seems to be the case with old licenses, they have a game in mind (one that has been done to death) - then bolt a license onto it. What next?, add in some zombies, make the main character a werewolf and call it Altered Beast?. Loosing co-op is inexcusable, the entire charm of it was that you could play with a mate or mates, and then it's not so bad going the girl, or the dwarf, because you can work together. SEGA always had co-op games, it's what set them aside from the other console manu's, someone up high in SEGA should just tell the developers to stop acting like little bitches and add in co-op.
I mean look what they have done to Street Fighter 2 in comparison - I loose track of the version numbers but the new version on the 360 looks stunning. They took the graphical style SF has always had and made it work on 3D models - it's still pretty much the same game in essence, it's been brought into the next generation is all, and the fans will lap it up.
