I still don't care for it that much and would rather have a console one from Sega... but that'll never happen :( I will still get it though only if for the werewolf ;)
The game from the movies I saw doesn't look that great, the original one IMO looks better :(
exactly what i was thinkingQuote:

That was precicely my point when everyone had been talking about what a horrible game it was - even before it came out. Yes, the original screenshots looked poor, but they came out a long time ago. People should always wait to actually play or see the final product before they say definitively that the game is horrible (or anything else). That's "opa-opa" territory there and it drove me crazy. Obviously not everyone did it - but there were many.Quote:

I think it's nice to see Sega and THQ vindicated because so many people unfairly criticised these unfinished games for so long. Now Monkey Ball has turned out great and AB seems pretty decent too. Happy days. :)
Monkey Ball's great? Have you played it?
It's a cool tech demo, but the fun is DOA. It's a classic case of a developer doing something only because they could.
I own it. Once you get the hang of switching speeds with A and B, it's a pretty faithful recreation. I like it alot. It's fun, challenging, and totally playable. An excelelnt adaptation. If you spend some more time getting used to the controls I bet you'd like it too.Quote:

As for Altered Beast, IGN don't know what they're talking about. I've played the game it sucks. It doesn't suck nearly as bad as Revenge of Shinobi, and it's not untrue to the source material, but it is much worse that the original, the level up orbs are spaced too far out, and the way you get them sucks, the action is stiff, and most of all the bosses suck alot. Take a mediocre game, downgrade it several notches, and transport it 15 years into the future. That's what you have here. A sub-par adaptation of a sub-par game.
We can just agree to disagree, then. It's no RoS, but IMO it's not much fun either.
Yes and yes. :)Quote:

I think it turned out quite well. It's a lot of fun and feels like the original. If anyone liked the Cube games I don't see why they wouldn't like the GBA version. It just takes a few minutes to get used to the control.
Actually, what's so bad about pre-judging games in the first place? GBA Altered Beast doesn't have feelings, who cares? I don't think anyone said "there is no chance in hell of this game being any good" when those first screenshots came out, so on.
I would just like to say that Frogacuda has the best manners of anyone I've ever seen on a message board. Some how he refrains from throwing mud at people while simultaneously containing any general anger he holds deep inside himself.
Congratulations.
How the hell did they manage to make this game even worse than the original? I haven't played something this bad in ages. 10 minutes before you turn into an altered beast...bah! The first boss is neat, though. Fear the wheelchair-bound centurion skeleton!
