Legendary Axe

I think the thing to do is get yourself ready for the real deal (part one)  by going to town on the sequal (which looks awesome and is a lot of fun to play).

I suggest starting out with the original, then playing the sequel only when you've earned it!

These two games are so different, it doesn't matter what order you play them in. There is no story line or anything that links them.

I got both of them at the same time in 1994, back when 16-bit was king.  And I enjoyed the second one more.  I think it has superior grafx and music.  Allthough I love both- I would give the nod to LA2.


Its really sad that Legendary Axe III never saw the light of day.....................


That would have been a hella sweet SCD!

I can't vote.

As folks have already stated (nat?), voting for one is an injustice to the other. I like both games. I don't care what nod says, LAI is a great game.  Feels great to beat it.

Oh man, that would be freakin' awesome

Don't count it out just yet... :-"

I loved both games but I voted for the first game.  I remember playing LE and thinking it was just ok, that was until I got to the 3rd zone the game opened up and got much better.

Has anyone noticed how HARD it is to program a good sword-swinging side-scroller? Even masterful Taito screwed it up with Rastan Saga 2 (I hate that game). The games we know as Legendary Axe controlled well and were fun. So many others were not.

Ever play shapeshifter?

Ever play shapeshifter?

Please don't soil Legendary Axe's good name by comparing it to that...erm...thing.

I'd rather play the first Legendary Axe, even with all its flaws, than ever touch Shape Shifter again.

That's the game I always mention when people discuss what might have been with a CD Axe.

I just got Shapeshifter as part of my TZD order, and I think it's pretty awesome! Yes, the Rastan 1-like bats and flying critters are annoying, but it's a sweet game in my opinion.

I also like Shape Shifter, but it doesn't really fit in with the LA series.

I always put Shape Shifter in the same group with Shadow of the Beast.

Which I love too!

Wait until you really start to get into it. I love it.
