5.0 out of 5 stars Altered Beast, an exellent Sega Classic, March 15, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Altered Beast (Video Game)
Altered Beast is one of the best games you can have on your Sega Genesis. If you like becoming an ancient warrior who comes back from the dead to save the world, Altered Beast is for you. In this game you start off as a pretty average sized man, but by collecting some Pomer Ups your man soon becomes a HULKING Brut. Collecting 1 Power Up will make him medium sized and collecting 2 will make him bigger and bader than Hercules. Now this is the cool part, when you get the third Power Up your character morphs into an altered beast. But the funnest part of this game is in the 2 Player mode. To do this push the start button on the second players controler, and have fun with a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Genesis, June 30, 2010
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Altered Beast (Video Game)
The Genesis days.
What fun.
What a joy.
How depressing, I'm so old.
Anyway.....
"Altered Beast" came with the Genesis I bought and it's a blast.
My first introduction to the new wave of 16 bit gaming and wow was I hooked.
Awesome graphics.
Great sound.
An incredible amount of variety.
It's not a very long game but who cares.
What is there is a blast.
Another one of those long forgotten titles that deserves to be played by today's gamers.
"Altered Beast" may not be "Pac Man" or even "Sonic" but it's still an awesome game that should not be forgotten.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The very game that hooked me to the Sega Genesis!, September 23, 2003
This review is from: Altered Beast (Video Game)
When Sega came along with their Genesis system, it didn't reach the attention of the already popular Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Despite its superior graphics capabilities and sound quality, it never touched Nintendo's sales, at least in the States. Why? Perhaps we'll never know, because I think the Genesis is one of the best video game systems ever made, right up there with the almighty Super NES... and this game is one of the reasons why.

THE GOOD
I cannot BEGIN to tell you how I love this game. It's so simple, yet a FUN game. It's hard, and you'll just be playing more and more just to beat this game. It has two-player ability which tends to make it easier (subject to your comrade's abilities, of course.). There's only four levels, but it's four levels of sheer oldschool ultimateness. The graphics are ok, if not that great, but hey... we all know gameplay is what makes the game, right?

This actually was THE game that hooked me to the Genesis. You'd think that after playing tons of Sonic 2, Aladdin, and X-Men that I would've been thoroughly hooked, and while those games are classics, this one particular game somehow snatched me by [my sensitive areas] and told me to buy a Genesis (which I did, with the ever-so-needed Sega CD attachment). Guess I'm just weird.

About the game since my review would be pretty short: basic story is that you (with or without your comrade) are raised from the dead by Zeus to go save Athena from an evil sorceror. In each level, you transform into a different beast after collecting three orbs (first level: wolfman, second level: dragon, etc.). Cool.

THE BAD
If you find something wrong I highly suggest consulting a physician before dissing on and/or playing this game.

OVERALL
This is A MUST-HAVE for your Genesis collection. If you are a Sega fan and don't own this game, I don't care what your reason is (unless you couldn't find it, which is somewhat understandable), you're wrong. Part of my childhood consists of this game. A Genesis gem and one of the finest the system ever produced.
