Golden Axe II
SCORE: 52
How is it the ESRB can review a game so
many years later and absolutely miss the lack of clothing on the
characters? Golden Axe II is just another example of where the ESRB
drops the ball. They are out there bragging about how great they are
too. They are starting to look like the emperor in The Emperor’s New
Clothes. Golden Axe II is a hack and slash Genesis game where the
enemies perform all kinds of cheap hits. Plus these enemies take all
kinds of damage before going down. Color swapping is used on the
enemies. It does nothing to alleviate the boredom of kill everything,
move a few feet, and repeat.
Magic is a part of Golden Axe II. These are best saved for the larger
boss characters. Riding animals is a part of this home console game, and
they can decimate the enemies quicker. The graphics in Golden Axe II are
bland, and the sound effects are horrible.
It is very easy to die in Golden Axe II. There are a limited number of
continues so playing Golden Axe II can be an exercise in pure
frustration. The animations can be slow at times. The violence, magic,
and enticement to lust are the issues families will have with Golden Axe
II on the Genesis.
