Chaotica Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 Well, which Beast did you like best? For me, it is hard to decide, but I think I liked the first one the best. It had gorgeous graphics and parallax scrolling, the intro was awesome, and the main sprite was cool. It was hard to play, but still playable. Beast II was great, but the parallax scrolling was gone. It was also extremely difficult. Beast III was really great too, probably the best in terms of playability. But I don't like the central sprite - he looks like an Indiana Jones rip off to me, and it always puts me off an otherwise great game. All games have great soundtracks too.
DreamCastLover Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 I only really liked the first one, so that would be the best IMO.
Chaotica Posted April 28, 2004 Author Posted April 28, 2004 Yes, there was a third one. It was a great game, and, by some reviews, it fixed the problems of the earlier Beast games (ie: very had difficulty!) But I thought 1 was better. Beast 3 was still a beautiful game, with gorgeous sonics, music and graphics, as were much of Psygnosis' games, however. I know it was released on the Amiga, but I don't know if it was released on anything else. Try it on WinUAE, if you like.
Baseley09 Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Well, well......... SOTB is the pinnacle IMO of 16bit graphics, clearly there are better for different reasons, but this just is so amazing.........but even i a die hard must admit the Amiga version control is suck. ......while id still say the Amiga version is the best SOTB period, the Pc Engine & both Megadrive versions offer much more playability (read : easier) SOTB3 is prabably the best *game* to play, but hasnt the original factor. SOTB2 last, great as hell for sure, amazing Amiga death sequence synth guitar, but worst SOTB game imo. EDIT: How could i forget music...hmm....SOTB1 Amiga version easily...besy music ever...maybe.

taratata Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I've only tried 1 and 2. Even though 2 was a good game, I think 1 was way better.
Superman Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I seem to remember 2 being impossible to complete (even with cheats). Number 1 was by far the best and as Basely says the music just fantastic. Psygnosis really knew how to get the best out of the Amiga.
