Heh, look at my avatar. Nuff said.

What's up with you people?? Beast 2 has the lowest rating?

That's the best game in the series beyond any doubt.. the controls, gameplay, graphics, music.. everything is better in this one than the first one (the third one has better controls but it doesn't feel like a Beast game to me).

The music on the first one was amazing. it was moody and beautiful.
The game play was something that left a bad taste in my mouth. Collision detection flaws.

Ironclaw · 31 January 2007, 08:18

SotB 3 for me.

laffer · 31 January 2007, 08:28

I know, you've said so three times in this thread by now

killergorilla · 31 January 2007, 11:03

Deja Vu...

Ah well.

Beast 1 looks good and sounds awesome. Shame it plays like dull cack.
Beast 2 looks awful, damn brown mess. Plays like impossible cack.
Beast 3 looks decent enough, AND get this... there is GAMEPLAY!

Beast 3 wins because it's the only game in the list. Beast 1 is a tech demo, and Beast 2 is an exercise in will power (and stupidity).

laffer · 31 January 2007, 11:54

I can't see why people find the graphics in Beast 2 ugly.. I think they're great! Very atmospheric, I love the art design in that game.
And the gameplay is good too except for the few places where you get a few seconds so solve a puzzle or the game becomes impossible.. other than those few places, the gameplay is very good (and those places are only annoying until you figure it out of course, it's easy to do once you know how).

I agree the gameplay in Beast 1 leaves some to be desired though.. it's mostly about memorization and timing that game.

EDIT - Beast 2 is an excercise in stupidity?? Hey I finished that game!

killergorilla · 31 January 2007, 12:07

Beast 2's colour pallette seems to made up of mostly browns, dark smeary browns, dull brown, mocha brown... BROWN!

Ultron · 31 January 2007, 17:33

Tell that to Frank Frazetta.

Or Rembrandt for that matter.

Zetr0 · 31 January 2007, 17:40

I'm with Zetr0 / laffer on this one (although I do like the whole series)

1st choice - Beast II (for the same reason as Zetro)
2nd choice - Beast (a very close second for nostagia reasons)...
3rd choice - Beast III (although the best gameplay I didn't like the character at all)

Ok, gameplay isn't the greatest in the first two unlike but I still love 'em

Get Rembrandt to sign up on EAB and I will.

Beast 2 was dull and lifeless.

Avanze · 31 January 2007, 22:30

Almost a year but I voted anyway.

Ironclaw · 31 January 2007, 22:51

I know I have said it several times, just to be silly :P.... but now when you mention it... I have been warned by a certain moderator about trying to influence other peoples decission.... which is not in this case, as I only say what version I like... I'm not saying which version is the best.

Really? That kind of stings actually, like other people here don't have a mind of their own or something. I don't need to be protected from Ironclaw, I know perfectly well that Moonstone is the best of the beast games!

Huh? What did I just say?

For me, the original SOB.
It was also one of the first amiga games i´ve played.
