Golden Axe 2 Review

The recent blackouts here has made me look back at console gaming when i was still young since i had more time playing emulated games in my PSP. Today I'll be featuring the game i've been playing back in the good old days when i still had this game in my Sega Gen Console.

Golden Axe 2


Story Line:
Not long after the malign reign of Death Adder has ended, another evil rises. The peace of the land has again been threatened, this time by Dark Guld, who was supposed to have been imprisoned but is back in full force. He has gotten his hands on the Golden Axe, using it for his own evil purposes, and his minions are causing much chaos throughout the land.

So once more, Ax-Battler, the fierce barbarian, Tyris-Flare, the fearless Amazon and Gilius Thunderhead, the ferocious dwarf must rise up to deal with this oppression with their might and magic, and recover the Golden Axe. Now, it's up to you to stop Dark Guld and his minions and restore peace to the land! -nintendolife.com

Review:
Back in the good old days i really was waiting for this game. Aside from enjoying its original version i was really a fan of hack and slash gaming. Graphical changes are less but it is better from the original version. Movements have been slightly increased, throwing enemies and making them fall from cliffs are better, magic skills are way better than the original version.

As a kid in my good old days i really had fun playing this game. Though graphics may not be as way better then games these days but during those times when i was small this was one of the coolest game I've played. New generation gamers may not appreciate this game but I'm sure hard core console gamers and fanatics of Golden Axe will surely enjoy playing it over and over again. Cooperative style in playing is fun but finishing the game alone is a challenge.

Screenies:






My rating (out of 10) :
Graphics: 7
Gameplay: 8
Lifespan: 8
Excitement Factor: 8
Overall: 8

My verdict:
It ain't the coolest game in our time right now. But if you are one of those hard core console gamer then I'm sure you would want to have this game if you see one. This may be considered as one of the roots of hack and slash games we are playing right now in PS, XBox and Nintendo games.
