This is my first and last video of Golden Axe: Beast Rider. I am quite disapointed by this game (that is by ~50% more expensive than Heavenly Sword). In it's easiest mode it is quite hard to play, the way you control your character is verry verry sluggish and the way your character interacts with the environment is in many ways strange.
I am dissapointed mostly because i thought it will be another game just like Heavenly Sword (you know, female character that masters a sword ...). However, when you enter the world of Tyris Flare you will find out that she has some weird (visible) boundaries inside the environment, the number of moves she can do with her sword is verry small, the parry/evade functions are inefficient, while you're down to the ground not only you can get up quite slowly but you can also get hit by your enemy, weird things can happen behind your back (like in minute 4:47 when you're set up in flames although you're behind that dragon), and so on and so forth.
In my opinion the game's idea is excellent, the trailers and all the presentations are good, but the game itself is not worth buying at all (or playing). Not to mention the fact that it cost me somewhere around 100$ (more that 100$). It's not worth even 25$.
