Much like a lot of the arcade games back then, Golden Axe is fairly short and doesn't have a lot of replayability, as every enemy will appear in the exact same spot every time you play, and there are no branching paths. But for 400 MS points, a classic brawler with functional online play is something that belongs in your Live Arcade library.

Official Xbox Magazine UKShort but still ass-kickingly sweet! [Sept 2007, p.110]

Between its unlimited continues and crusty looks, you're probably only going to be interested in this game if you liked it back in 1989.

Golden Axe, then. Big, brutish, three-button sprite-based fantasy brawler with bags of nostalgic moments and inexplicable co-op charm: Yours to buy for the 39th time for just 400 points.

X-ONE Magazine UKThere's online co-op available too, but, unlike Sonic's outing, we feel it would be hard pushed to attract many beyond-nostalgia hunters. [Issue#24, p.100]

Jul 12, 2023An excellently adapted version of the arcade classic. Fun, although the best part is the co-op.
