Poll: best "beat 'em up" / "hack n' slash" series

[z0nbie]

Battletoads ?

 

[m_jim]

Old school 2D Streets of Rage. You can't beat that.

 

[Devildoc]

You're missing the best beat em up series ever made.. the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games in the arcade, NES, and SNES.

God Hand, easily. I didn't really like Viewtiful Joe but for some reason I still play it inside my head, there's something so fundamentally flawless about the controls in that game.

 

[sorry user name taken.]

=O no dead or alive?!

[Antiparticle]

WHY THE HELL IS DOUBLE DRAGON NOT THERE!?

This was my first thought as well.

 

[Vrex360]

Otogi, no question.

But then it really isn't a series and like maybe twenty people are even aware of it's existence.

Or street fighter, I think the op meant something else, because no beat em up list is complete without those two.

 

[teisjm]

Haven't played any of them except No More heroes... gonna get madworld as well.

I often wish i had enough time for gaming to justify buying an extra console

 

[odBilal]

Cant decide
Viewtiful joe is just crazy
Godhand is hilarious
God of War is Bad Ass
But the Best Beat em up for me is Street Fighter !!!

 

[xxnightlawxx]

I chose God of War, but only because of Heavenly Sword.

My vote would have gone to Dynasty Warriors if it had been listed.

thats why i am not voting no dynasty warriors man

 

[Samurai Goomba]

God Hand, then Viewtiful Joe, then DMC.

This is fact... Although I JUST picked up Otogi. I may change my opinion at some point, though at this stage it just plays like Shinobi (PS2) with much sharper graphics (although there's absolutely nothing wrong with that-I loved Shinobi.)

 

[Zelurien]

I love Streets of Rage 2. It's an absolute classic and it's still a blast to play with a friend. Top soundtrack too.

 

[doesthislookinfected]

What about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Turtles in Time is epic win.

 

[GuerrillaClock]

Streets of Rage for me.

 

[Husky.Gnoll]

You should of put "other" as a choice,
I personally enjoyed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4: Turtles in Time.

 

[suhlEap]

i'd agree with ninja gaiden. though when i think of beat em ups i think more of fighting games, tekken and such.

 

[Flying Dagger]

why are there no beat em ups in this poll?
also:

puzzle solving games such as god of war

 

[TheSKSpecial]

Other. Urban Reign for the PS2.
