Hi all, ive got this game, and although its not as bad as its often sugested, it would be far better if it had the controls and gameplay of Golden Axe 2, or even Golden Axe for that matter...
Has someone considered modding the game to either add the better controls or add the Golden Axe 3 levels/characters/magic to Golden Axe 2 game?
Honestly the controls were the weakest part of GA1 and GA2.
Aside of that the sheer number of moves you can do in GA3 would fill an entire book.
That may be the case, but the game sure did play smoother and nicer in Golden Axe 2, even the first one played quite ok. The 3rd one just doesnt feel like Golden Axe to me.
Nor to anyone.Quote:

Not me though, I think it's a lame piece of shit with no personality that completely misses what made Golden Axe cool (I have the same problem with sparkster, again a competent game that just horribly misses the mark).
Felt like a huge step down from Golden Axe II to me. Great for everyone who enjoys it, but it's definitely not for me.
Yeah, it was a let down, whether it feels great to others or not is irrelevant, its just not Golden Axe.Quote:

OMG!
GA1 and 2 has bad controls? WTF!
Please guys... you must learn how to play these games, is just like the orginal arcade... perfect !
GA3 is just a Final Fight rip off with barbarians, all tatics and fealing that made the arcades great are lost,
plus poor grafics and some bad music...
But the game have some cool ideias like combined magic and other stuff but still the weakest point of the series. For me OFC!
Those comments left me scratching my head too. The controls in GA1 & 2 are spot on. Maybe it`s a case of not spending enough time learning each character`s move sets?Quote:
