Talk:Shadow of the Beast (1989 video game)

message: I would suggest that Beast 2 and Beast 3 should have their own entries. They feel a bit "crammed-in" as an afterthought here and the main article feels more exclusive to Beast 1.

message: The intro of the article speaks about the first Beast (released in 89) while the article in actuality describes the whole series. It should be cleaned Pictureuploader 08:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Shadowofthebeast.jpg

message: There seems to be info about the different soundtracks and artists scattered throughout this article.  Would it be worthwhile to clean up the article by collecting all this info all under one heading?  Also I don't think that the track names of SOTB should be right at the top of the article, if in the article at all, they don't really add anything.
Forgive me if I sound dumb, I just signed up so am a n00b 8-)

thread_title:  Soundtrack(s) 

message: This paragraph needs to be rewritten. There's far too many unnecessary NPOV violations/extraneous information here.
"The game initially received praise for its high level cosmetics, although graphically inferior to the first game lacking the groundbreaking multi-layer paralax scrolling, it still provided much eye candy for the player and Tim Wrights soundtrack 'succeeded in creating a grim and sinister atmosphere, particularly the emotional 'death scene' music with its synth layer and sampled electric guitar melody which created a stunning tragic mood. Supposedly, many players died on purpose just to hear it. The booklet cover for Glasgow death metal band 'REGORGE' for their debut album "KINGDOMS OF DERISION" bore an uncanny influence to the death scene artwork.'"
Completely unnecessary. And the album cover looks nothing like it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.171.49.134 (talk) 07:09, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The game was published by Psygnosis, but the box art image has a prominent Gremlin Graphics logo; this isn't explained in the article. Did Gremlin re-release it as a budget title, or did they publish the ports, or what? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:12, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
