Golden Axe : Beast Rider - Xbox 360

SEGA's fantasy adventure of blades and magic returns with this re-incarnation of the Golden Axe franchise. Golden Axe: Beast Rider delivers action-RPG thrills as a small band of Riders embark on an epic adventure to recruit allies, expose the enemy and prevent the annihilation of their breed. Delivering an intense and unique combat experience, you charge into battle on the backs of ferocious beasts or take your chances with the enemy while on foot. Fighting skill, wits and even magic are all called into action as you immerse yourself in the struggle to defeat an evil intent on enslaving the remains of civilization.

Mounted combat: Unleash a barrage of bites, claws and special attacks, as well as furious swings from the Hero’s own weapon

On-foot combat: In line with the series’ lineage, on-foot combat plays a key role in this game, letting you alternate between light attacks, heavy attacks, blocks, ripostes, magic, and grappling

Realistic dismemberment: Not only will limbs and heads fly off in sword combat, the beasts in Golden Axe: Beast Rider will be able to tear enemies apart as well

Fidelity to the classic games: Environments, magic, enemies, and beasts are designed to evoke fond memories of the original games

Robust single-player campaign: Single player adventure offers more than 12 hours of critical-path gameplay; the Option to choose from one of three heroes to play increases replay value
