So i got a hold of this game being a sega fan and all I couldn' t wait for it.
So the collection is rather large, with some good games included, though there are certain ones i' d like to have seen added, and did it really need sonic added again?
The game features progressive scan which is nice, and allows resizing the screen, the game usually outputs to the full width of my screen like with DVD' s, something no other ps2 game i' ve tried does on my tv.
So i had a short go of some of the games featured, and realised i' ve gotten really bad at playing games, man I suck on these.
So obviously I had to play Golden Axe, what does anyone who cares for this post think of the game and it' s forthcoming next gen version?
This sort of game is great, while the game can be basically beat with just the dash attack the experience is something i miss in gaming.
The music is absolutely fantastic, all through out the game (man how sega used to kick serious ass), and regardless of the way the game is, the story is involving, it felt like a big journey to fight Death Adder, the map in between level with the comments really is awesome.
The levels are awesome, city on the back of a giant turtle? Travelling ont he back of a giant eagle? fantastic. I wish the next gen version will keep to the original ideas, rather than what altered beat (ps2) did with the original (raping the memory of the game).
i think i' d be happy with a remake, flesh it out a little, make it longer, more levels etc. Man the game could be great! Although given the sega we' ve had since the Dreamcast' s demise, it' ll probably be more like the failed, crap altered beast reinvention game we' ve seen. Heh, maybe they will have guns, and cars?
On a final note, what i' d really like sega to do with a retro compliation like this, and it' s a dream that will never be realised, is the have all the games visually beefed up. Before you say it, I don' t mean like the Sega Ages collections. Rather redrawn sprites, bring it all high res with some very slick animation, like the guilty gear series. Maybe in addition to the classic versions. But man how i' d love to see a good high res, looking like a high class animation old sega game.
Anywho, here is the link to Sega' s website about it.
