The 3rd. Becuae it has got a gampelay.

EmuChicken · 02 February 2007, 03:12

isnt this a trick question?

they all suck! :P

Ive got soooo bored whilst playing this "game"

fisken uno · 02 February 2007, 03:30

I've actually enjoyed Beast 3 from time to time. Beast 1 looks nice but plays like shite and Beast 2 looks and plays like cack. Sooo... pretty much what everyone else has said I guess

Bolch · 12 July 2007, 22:27

Actually, all of the three games has its advantages.

Beast 1 has the nicest graphics and perhaps the best atmosphere - I felt myself immersed in a totally different and alien world when I played it. (Something that I didn't feel until the (PC) Unreal.) I spent countless hours on this game and completed it many times.

Beast 2 has the strongest storyline. It also has some unique features like friendly NPC-s and heavy adventure elements. Also, it's not divided into levels, which further strengthens the "epic adventure" feeling. Unfortunately, the horrible difficulty level somewhat ruins the experience.

Beast 3 has the best puzzles of the series with heavy use of real-time physics (Revolutionary Half-Life 2? Bah!). Also, this is the only Beast with a reasonable difficulty level. But it doesn't have the usual captivating, dark atmosphere of the previous games and the long-awaited confrontation with Maletoth was a great disappointment.

That said, I voted for Beast 1.

imHo:
number 3 is playable, I have ALMOST finished the game
number 2 is magical, I love the graphics and still listen to the tunes on my pc (it really irritates my family

)
number 1 is... nothing special

macce2 · 12 July 2007, 22:51

Beast one's definitely the best.
Beast 2, that's far too difficult..

Paul_s · 12 July 2007, 23:15

Definetly Part 2. The opening sequence still amazes me to this day

Atmosphere is great too!

Then you and this crappy Amiga game sucks big time.

The best ones are Beast 1 for the Turbo Duo and Beast 3 for the Amiga.

Baah, vote your choice correctly, Dizzy. There can be only one.

Dizzy · 13 July 2007, 01:04

I haven't voted yet, wating for Damien to return from holiday putting in the option. I dont care

It's hard to say which beast is best, depends on if it's the amiga or console version

Beast 2 sucks on every platform, that's for sure.

DamienD is on holiday? Who allowed it? I gave him no permission for this.

ancalimon · 13 July 2007, 01:32

Despite I finished the game using a walkthrough, the ten pints cheat and numerous reboots after getting stuck, I vote for Beast2 as it doesn't leave much to your imagination yet it forces you to do so. I must admit gameplay sucks (but not unplayable) but even that couldn't stop me from finishing the game years ago

Fred the Fop · 13 July 2007, 08:25

The Atari ST version was best.

zenox98 · 13 July 2007, 09:32

SotB 3 for it's (albeit slightly) better gameplay.

Beast 2 on the Amiga is awesome!

It's fully possible to finish without using cheats as well, once you learn the patterns and figure out the puzzles.. I made a longplay of this long ago, it's up on Youtube

Beast 2 is my favourite game in the series

I guess, we didn't talk about the same game, laffer. It's pure digital crap.

Highly overrated by the most mags, but this no surprise for me.

I read this funny comment, can't remember where.

I didn't like any of them:
Interactive 'demo-scene' coding. Not games at all in my opinion.
.
Nice to watch for 10mins before getting totally p*ssed off with it.
