    Altered Beast is a relic of the arcade heyday that just doesn't hold up today.

    It's fun for the first level, and that's about it. [Oct 2009, p.77]

    A quick time diversion and better left for those with strong nostalgic memories only.

They should have their card pulled. 10.… Full Review »
