Golden Axe: Beast Rider trailer debuts
BY Luke Walker May. 31st, 2008	More on:Golden Axe Golden Axe: Beast Rider SEGA

Gametrailers just got a world exclusive teaser trailer for Golden Axe: Beast Rider and it is fan-tastic! While the teaser is just that — a terrible, terrible tease — it is full of action. Get ready to see people cut in half, beast fights, skin and a lot of sand. Yeah, this teaser just shows the desert wastelands, so you’ll see plenty of sand.

Golden Axe is truly a classic game and for many was a deciding factor in going with SEGA back in the day, other than that blue rodent thing and well, you know, Mortal Kombat with the red blood. I can not begin to count how much of my allowance went to playing Golden Axe in the arcades.

Check the trailer for yourself. Go ahead, get nostalgic. Remember how freakin sweet Golden Axe was and see how the trailer makes us think that it will be again.

What made it really stand out was being able to kick bad guys off their mounts and hop on yourself to BBQ them (if you got on the dragons). Also the magic system had great graphics for its time. At least the arcade did. Consoles didn’t get it quite right till the second and third game. All three were on a Sega collection for PS2. I strongly recommend it since it has a lot of other great games as well.
