Altered Beast
After its initial release and a sequel on for the Game Boy Advance, Sega tried to update Altered Beast with a new entry on PS2, rather unsuccessfully. The PS2 game simply titled Altered Beast never made it to North America, and was met with a very mixed reception in Japan and Europe in 2005. Since then, however, the character action genre has gone through leaps and bounds with series like God of War, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, and more all bringing some fantastic updates to the genre.
With Nintendo footing the bill for Bayonetta right now, Sega could use a quality character action game to round out their library. While the original Altered Beast was set in ancient Rome and used magical spirit balls to turn the protagonist into a werewolf, the newer game opted for a modern story with a scientific experiment as the explanation. It’d be much interesting to go back to an ancient setting and let players run around a historical area as a mutated creature. The first Altered Beast was a well-loved game, and it’d be great to see a proper comeback.
