Altered beast for the first system i ever had. A sega genesis. I Personally love sega genesis games. They make me feel warm inside. Yknow that feeling when you're sitting down in a nice comfy, warm chair, And you just kinda go blank for a while because it's comfy?

I suppose you DON'T know then... Basically, I blank out. But i still enjoy the games. Sega genesis games seem like second nature to me, I can play them for hours and hours. Which reminds me of a funny story last week.

I spent 8 hours playing columns for genesis, And got about 62 million points. And after that, I didn't want to play it ever again.

Day after that, I played it, I just love sega genesis games. I originally bought this game becuase my dad said he used to play it a lot in an arcade. And he wasn't exactly happy that day. So i bought it, And started playing it myself. I know, I am a HORRIBLE person for doing that. Another thing, It's also the OLDEST game in my collection. And i have a lot of games. A lot of old games. And i love this game. This game has made me appreciate games like double dragon and golden axe. Since then, I play those games a whole heck of a lot of the time. So i decided to do a review on one of my favorite titles.

ALTERED BEAST

Graphics:9. The graphics are great for a 16 bit system. It's not a block here and a block there eith a block arms (yes, a block ARMS) attacking blocks. Instead, It's highly detailed men walking around in tights or something, And when you get a spirit/shadow/soul orb whatever the heck it's called, Your shirt rips off and exposes your chest. BIG MANLY MAN CHEST OOK LOOK AT MY UNDEAD CHEST URK. And then When you get another, You rip of PART of your pants, and mor eof your shirt. Lastly, When you get a third orb.. you get...

A werewolf. Yep, A werewolf. That shoots firballs out of its fists? Very weird, But very idk...cute?

Sound:8. Die sound is gooder then most. Mostly they reuse sound effects, or they just use some generic stuff. This is different. It has unique sounds. Like, WIZE FWOM YOUR GWAVE!!! or VELCOME TO UR DOOM!. And stuff. Extremely cheesy, But good overall. Mostly because they used their OWN sound effects and voices. Unlike most. :

Music:10. Me likey this music. It's a bit dark for my liking though. They could have added some sort of upbeat bass or something. Make it less.... I dunno... Depressing? Happiness and death go good together.

Not that one causes the other or anything...Ehheh... ahem... Anyways.... I like the music. It adds a very interesting effect on the surroundings of the game. Like that one song form columns. That adds a really depressing effect. I have NO idea how I played that for 8 hours with committing suicide or something. Basically what I'm trying to say is, Genesis music is good. You should like it too. or idk

Addictiveness:7. It's fairly addictive, But it's not like the sort of columns, Steal your soul for 8 hours and force you to play the game, Addictiveness. It's more like a, Huh... I think i can beat that, and stuff. So basically, I'ts kinda addicting. It's been a while since i've played it though. I've been busy playing and reviewing other stuff. Like yoshis story. Fun game. It would be more addictive if it has some sort of fluffy cuteness added, Besides those big bears. I love those bears.

Story:5. Well, The story is pretty strange.... Zeus revives you, so you can save his daughter.

That's pretty much the storyline. I dunno how it ends though. It would be good if they added a bit more detail into the game. Maybe they'll make a remake. Let's hope it doesn't suck like most remakes. Yeah. Maybe make some sort of plot twist like uhh.... Uhm... Lemme think about that for a while...

Depth:4. Not a lot to do. I heard that if you beat the bosses after you beat the game, You'll get something good.

But i have yet to beat the game so i don't know. I wish someone could confirm it for me. Maybe you will. who knows.

It does offer a lot of levels to punch and kick at. if that's your thing. It's not really my thing but eh... What do I know? I'm just a hamster. A hamster who likes old sega genesis games.

Difficulty:10. Darn game is hard. Still haven't beat the dang thing. Those stupid bosses that take out one hit box point whatever it is thing. Those suck. They kill you in like, 3 hits. And that sucks. Because you don't get to finish the game. I don't think i'm EVER going to be able to beat the game. The ants are especially hard. They like to sneak up behind you, And when you try to attack, The stab you. Over and over again. And those big dudes. The big skeleteon dudes, They hurt a lot. And the boss of world 4.

Overall it's a fun game. Could use some more story and somethingmore than just punching and kicking. Something interesting. Yknow?
Like, If they made a plot twist where you have to fight the other dude to win the dames love. Like they did in thunder fox. That would be a bit cool. And if they I Don't know..... If they made it more cute looking. Possibly some more pink and all that jazz? Or maybe if they added some food that could restore health. That would be handy. Cause I'm sick of dying. I always die on the third or fourth stage. Because of those darn bosses and those weird ant things and turtles and stuff.

So yeah. Thats my review on altered beast. :3 I hope someone liked it. I didn't really get much sleep, So if it's sloppy, Then just say so.... Hmm... I could go for some sleep.
