I was 8 years old when i first got my genesis with altered beast. And to be honest, the game's graphics were cool for about 15 minutes and it was amazing. Its a great demo game to show off what genesis was capable of at the time. But like i said, after the first day i played it i went back to playing super mario bros. 3 on my nes til i got something better to play on my genesis which was phantasy star 3 and sonic the hedgehog.
i have a problem with you saying that all these animals have been overused this game was made over 20 years ago when they were still fresh and amazing. yeah playing it now they are but back then not so much
the word bubble comment with the bear made me laugh, i remember this game in its prime as well, one of the first games i played too and not knowing the game world i took it more seriously then and the game creeped me out a bit, i miss those days.
Ah yes, here it is, one of the shittiest games to ever be recognized as a great classic.
Best parts of the game are "WISE FWOM YO GWAVE" and "WELCOME TO YO DOOM". Once you've heard them both, just turn the game off. It's all downhill from there.
@jaymorpheus11 So what if it was 1989? That doesn't excuse the gameplay being repetitive and derivative, the music being bland and unmemorable, and the graphics being subpar even for their time. It was a bad game when it was new, and it's a bad game now. Nothing's changed. And the Arcade version isn't much better.
Strider, Ghouls 'N Ghosts, and Revenge of Shinobi all came out at about the same time as Altered Beast, but they all managed to be good games with original ideas and inspired design.
There is a GBA altered beast called Altered Beast - Gaurdian of the Realms, In that one you had wolf, turtle, tiger, shark, snake, rhino, scorpion, bald eagle, dragon, and a chimera
@3:55 you mentioned Teddy Ruxpin, that's awesome, but the thing is Teddy Ruxpin and the Sega MegaDrive have nothing to do with each other, but that doesn't matter, Altered Beast looks like a pretty awesome game, I've not played it though.
I had a sega genesis with this game, but the console got fryed somehow. I regret not beating this game along with some others like sonic the hedgehog 2, strider, etc. Good game though.
Notice how the Chickenleg Bizarrian appears in both Altered Beast and Golden Axe. Why didn't the Chickenleg Bizarrian achieve the same pop icon status as, say, Yoshi or the Chocobo? Talk about speciesist.
SEGA's System 16 arcade version of Altered Beast looked so much better than the watered down Genesis version. Yet everyone thought the Genesis version looked almost as good as the arcade. The difference is pretty damn clear.
Toshio Kai did not do the music in this game. A person at Sega by the name of Nav. composed the music as well as doing the sounds in this game. Nav. also did the music to the Genesis Ghostbusters game.
are you like giviing this commentary whilst you are smashing the pad with your feet and on depressant drugs. also are you due dead soon cause it sounds like it. altered( massive pause.......) voice would be good.

welcome to your doom or whatever ha says haha med and my little brother use to say that all the time when we were kids playing this game and had no clue about the english language ^^ memories i have of this game!
Great video review, thanks! I guess I was hoping you would also cover the original arcade version of Altered Beast which is reportedly included as a bonus on this PS2 compilation.
i know those games are easier to get on the ps2 but in my mind its the real thing when you can actually see the cartridge, it has nostalgic value that ps2 collection disc doesnt have
I think the Master System has much longer level..but there is no bear only 4 levels but much longer. werewolf,dragon,weretiger & the golden werewolf. Oh yes there is a 3D version of altered beast for the PS2 I think it was in Japanese, Its hard in 3rd person view the plot is different a genetic engineered stuff is involved. Have it love it too..
Yeah this game is also for PSP. I bought it used and returned it because the UMD case had a crack in it. So I kept my save files so I could later buy a new copy.
It is a snake's tail, like a rattle snake. A few moments later it is, what looks like, dragon headed snakes falling from the ceiling. On the ground if you kick the tail it falls off and the snake can not come up.
I understand that it's cheaper to get these collection discs or downloads for the 360, ps3 and wii, but I prefer to play genesis games on the original genesis with the three button controller. It just has a better feel. Maybe it's just me though.
I remember beating this game once, but I think it was on the Genesis. When I play it on my SEGA Dreamcast SEGA Collections I get owned by the third level with the ants. If I recall correctly, the arcade version had a much better transformation sequence that did up close shots of the eyes and mouth etc. transforming instead of just a split second one on the Genesis. Regardless, just to let you know since you also showed the collection on the PS2... Ristar is one of the best games on there.
i admit, this game was the worst pack in ever. it came with my sega genesis and 30 minutes later i was playing mario. of course first minute i was drooling at the graphics (it was back in 89) and the next minute bored out of my mind with the clunky controls and straight forward gameplay... boo.
