Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

As a special military operative, you are sent to investigate a deadly genetic outbreak in a small West Coast town. Operating alone and with minimal information, you quickly realize that your mission will ultimately become a battle for survival. Hunted by unspeakable horrors and haunted by your past, you soon discover that in order to overcome evil, you must become more than evil.

The only thing that can save you is your darkest power, the ability to transform into a variety of powerful beasts. As you defeat wave after wave of failed genetic experiments, the line between human restraint and primal instinct will blur, until nothing is left but the savage desire to uncover the true nature of the beast.

Explore your inner demons. Unleash your fury. Alter your reality.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment of the Decade, 1 April 2005

By	T. Wrgler "Trez" (Randers, Denmark) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

OK, so the original Altered Beast wasn't a work of art. In fact it was sort of samey and repetitive. But at least it was a little bit fun.
This odd mixture of Altered Beast and Resident Evil is just pathetic. Graphics are mediocre at best, the battles are disorienting and annoying (like taking out 40 bats while on foot) and the simplicity and charm of the original is just not there.
I'm a big SEGA fan, but this is really horrible.

3.0 out of 5 stars All I can say is why, Sega, why????!!!???, 28 Feb 2006

By	Mr "X" (Glasgow, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Altered Beast was one of my favourite Mega Drive games. Like another user said it was samey, but it was fun. It was full of imaginative monsters and giant purple blobs (that were meant to be leeches) that would jump on top of your head and kill you if you didn't react fast enough, very basic, but very effective and cool in its day (well it was cool to me).

I did want a similar game, not an exact copy of the original game, but I wanted it to keep a similar hero and also for it to stick to the theme of the Supernatural and Greek Gods. Instead this game transfers it to the present/near future and features gene-coding and monsters resulting from mutation. The gameplay is so repetitive and the enemies are very dull. Fighting 30 or so enemies that are all the same over and over again is not great gameplay. The aspect of the vast amount of enemies is very similar to Chaos Legion (which I liked), but that game was handled differently to this and had great graphics.

The graphics are not the worst I've seen; the cutscenes and transformation scenes are fantastic, if a bit too gory for a game with a rating of 12 plus.

You've no idea how much I wanted to like this game, and believe me I tried and I gave it a chance (1 hour - if you don't like the game after 1 hour of gameplay then it's not a game for you), but it just didn't work. I am glad I bought it and that I didn't pay much for it. It may have been better if it wasn't part of the Altered Beast franchise, then perhaps it wouldn't have been quite as much of a let down.
