CU Amiga
Shadow Of The Beast is still generally regarded as one of the most attractive games ever to appear on the Amiga. OK, so the actual gameplay itself wasn’t exactly the hottest ever, but the large, smoothly animated sprites coupled with the kind of parallax scrolling that makes polygons look old hat made it an instant classic. After winning dozens of awards, Psygnosis duly followed it with another scrolling adventure - albeit with a little more cerebral challenge. Again, the graphics were of a very high standard, but I couldn’t help thinking that the puzzles involved were difficult to the point of disheartening. Thus, it was with some trepidation that I encountered the sequel. Psygnosis are about to let loose Beast III.

Das erste Psygnosis Untier verdiente sich anno ‚89 ganz locker einen Hit, im nahezu unspielbaren Nachfolger war es dagegen wortwörtlich nur mehr ein Schatten seiner selbst. Jetzt gibt es die Nummer drei – und damit auch wieder einen Hit!
Die Begründung lautet schlicht und ergreifend, daß hier Präsentation und Gameplay stimmen: Dem verwöhnten Monster-Dompteur werden zwei Megabyte voller trickfilmreif animierter Grafiken geboten, die von stets passendem, atmosphärischem Sound untermalt sind.

Några av misstagen från Shadow of the Beast 2 har rättats till. Grafiken är väldigt snygg.

Pelit
Puutteestaan huolimatta kyseessä on paras ongelmanratkaisuun keskittynyt toimintapeli pitkään aikaan ja ilman pienintäkään epäilyä Beast-trilogian ainoa hyvä peli. Mutta miksi jälleen kerran pelintekijät ovat olleet laiskoja, kun mahdollisuus klassikkopeliin olisi ollut olemassa?

Beast III har alla de vanligaste attributen för spel från Psygnosis. Snyggt omslag. Välgjord grafik och, numera, minimal spelkänsla. Beast har inte mycket av det som gjorde föregångarna till klassiker. Ettan hade en av de mest välgjorda introduktionsmelodier som förekommit i något datorspel. I tvåan hade man lagt på lite extra feeling och spelbarhet.
