Excellent Review. Golden Axe and River City Ransom are my alltime favorite Beat Em Ups, I love beat em ups, but those are the two that I revisit time and again. Btw the new collection will have all 3 Genesis games, including Golden Axe 3 which was not previously released in the US until the Wii Virtual Console.

This game is always forgotten when it comes to the "beat em up games of the 90's" debate. Its always Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, Battletoads and even the TMNT games. For those that forgot or never got a chance to play, this is a solid title.

+TheDalinkwent Crime Fighters, Vendetta, Golden Axe, and Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder are some of the best beat em ups there are.

I always liked golden axe more than streets of rage.. Though i prefer the setting and graphics in SOR i always thought golden axe was mechanically the better game and obviously you get to burn people with monsters and cut them in half.

Luke Payne Well, we can both agree the game is one of the best beat em ups ever made. I still think Streets of Rage Remake, Double Dragon Advance, Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder, and the 1989 TMNT arcade are better.

Last time I was at Hershey Park (ten years ago or more), I had a pretty good run through of this game. Only used four quarters! When I was a little kid, I probably spent ten bucks on it one time and didn't beat it. It was certainly a pretty difficult beat-em-up, presumably to get more quarters out of people playing it.

Aaahhh... Golden Axe. One of my childhood favorites. I did play Golden Axe 1 & 2 alot back in the past. Every time I played these two games, I had so much fun. Playing with friends was awesome. We have beated Golden Axe 1/2 many times. Later I got the Sega Megadrive Collection for PS2, which had Golden Axe 3. This game wasn't as great as the two previous ones, but still very entertaining. I also got the Golden Axe Remake in Sega Ages Collection. I really liked the remake. Who is my favorite character in Golden Axe series: Tyris Flare. I love strong women in video games.

Golden Axe rocks! I remember shoveling driveways on the day this was released to pay for it. As soon as I hit $70.00 in profits I ran to my nearest Toys R Us and shelled out $64+tax for this! It was worth every cent. I think this is one of the best 2 player games for the Genesis. They did an excellent job on porting this even though I do prefer the screams in the arcade version. I wonder why SEGA chose to release the crappy GAII instead of porting Revenge of Death Adder. It could have been good

I feel this game is a bit unforgiving when played by yourself, but with a partner, it's a pretty good time for a while. I had this on the PC Sega Smash Pack and a few of my friends and I loved the game. Funny how his axe was silver in all of the home releases ;) The main thing that I didn't like about this game is the bosses and mini-bosses, sometimes they just do way too much damage, and it's difficult to get up when they gang you. It's still a very fun game though, even today.

I always went the female warrior. I was a fan of buylding up my magic. I remember getting as far as when you went up against a silver or gold Knight in the really dark area with the botttomless pit you could knock him into. I did eventually make it to the final boss a few times. But it was far too difficult for me! Yet i did only play in Single Player. Though as the games went on... the gradually got worse imo. The first game remains my favourite!

@Wazupupmydog As far as I can remember there is a practice mode(don't know if it is really called so) which is significantly shorter than the harder difficulty levels. But in total the story part of the game isn't that long. But there is another mode where you fight with a single life against as many enemies as you can. This gave me a lot of replay value as a kid back in the 90s.
