Remember all of those awesome songs in the Golden Axe series? No, we don't either, and we love Golden Axe. Pretty much the only music we remember is the tune that plays while those little gnome jerks are looting your campsite. But that song is great. Classic Sega. Most of the time, the game is too overrun by digitized screaming for us to get a good listen to the soundtrack. We get the feeling, however, that a game starring Ax Battler, Tyris Flare, and Gilius Thunderhead must have some rockin' music.
That's why we want to kick a little gnome thief guy until one of the new Golden Axe The Music CDs falls out of his bag. On February 21st, Sega Direct will release a collection of music from all three Genesis Golden Axes, the Saturn game Golden Axe: The Duel, and both arcade games. The collection will sell for 3,500 yen total ($31).
Check after the break for ten minutes of Sega Master System Golden Axe Warrior gameplay, for no good reason. It's Zeldastic!
I will be brutally honest. I had never previously played any of the games in the series, but not long after the Wii came out, I was bored and needed something to download, and, because of limited selection, decided to try Golden Axe. And I felt I wasted 800 points. It just was too short, and as a result, I've been afraid to consider 2 or 3. Can anyone clear it up for me whether the other two are that much better? Or is it just I'm not looking for the right type of gameplay?

GA 1 is a great game with some nice tunes. I'd be happy to have those songs on my mp3 player.
Shadow31, what do you consider to be "too short"?

I played the orignal GA in the arcade way back when. I didn't like it then.
