  • Amp  - Wow

    The very first review no way lol, nice vid man.

  • benzaie

    *warning*

    when I mentionned the Genesis, it was just to refer to what else people were playing when that game came out in the arcade !!!!!

  • DntSayAWrd

    hey benzaie, this is like awesome 80s speed metal mixed with Castlevania and Golden Sun. Where can I get the soundtrack?

  • Coldguy

    Classic review, nice

  • Colochip

    good

  • SpazzMaster

    :( it won't load on my crappy ass computer...perhaps it truly is that awesome...nah, my computer just sucks.

    lol...re-load!

  • Exorph

    The video isn't showing up for me. At all. There's just white space between the title at the top of the page and the ads.
    All other videos seem to be working just fine though.

  • admin

    Fixed, thanks for the heads up

  • SpazzMaster

    You're welcome!

  • ThatGuyWithTheAccent89  - the first?

    well, for being the first one, it kicks ass?

  • extremepunkie

    That was great, the music really rocked. If I had balls, they would be kicked. :lol:

    Good job!

  • Skitch

    I'm always amazed at what these developers and composers were able to do with the limited technology at the time. Getting even a minor level of density/lushness in the sound was amazing enough, and this game just was able to take it that much further.

    This soundtrack is one that screams for a live re-recording, if it hasn't been done already!

  • PublicEnemy

    Haha, I like the character commiting suicide in the end haha

    Where can ya find this game now? Was it only an arcade game?

  • fermperez  - MAME!

    they made a ROM for the MAME arcade Emulator. :cheer:

  • houndead

    Agreat review for a grerat game,you are from the few that actualy have done a realy great show for this particular game.I love it the first time i have olayed that game was back in 1998 i think as i recall,in some arcades that have in army when i was go.From then i searched like mad in the mame to find it.But i couldnt find it any anywere,ant thats because the spesific game was not yet released for the mame.What can i say....the music the graficks,the game was kicked ass as you say brother,one of the greater brawlers that deserves trophy.In the final bosses you forgot to show the sexy beast girl,wich i dont know exactly what anymal she was but she was sexy allright show her butt,its like a litle sensored to me i think :0 anyway good review man.

  • Shinigami

    Thanks Benzaie. That was awesome game sound track.

  • FunkyM

    Incredible Technical achievement for 1993, thanks for this one M. Benzaie! ;)

  • Steelbath66

    konami had the best composers back in the day

  • Tlynn327

    I played that. I got all the way up to the last guys second form and ran out of tokens. Also it was at Universal Studios Florida, so I couldn't get more money and go back :( .

    Good vid. Like how you really showcased the game. Great music. You did a great job.

  • pawdugan

    Holy shit, the Genesis was making these sounds? And the Genesis always had the worst sound of any 16-bit console out of all of them. I can only imagine how hardcore the arcade version must have been.

    The sounds you're hearing are from the arcade version (which I think is the only version) of the game. The SNES /might/ have been able to do this soundtrack, given that it was using a sample based music system (though RAM/Memory restrictions might've made a soundtrack like this impossible).

    The Genesis, however, was using predominantly FM-Synthesis (along with pulse/square wave based PSG) based music for its games, and wouldn't have had enough sample based audio tracks to even hope of having music like this for a game.

    Game Audio Geek knowledge for the win. :P

  • NaviWiseman

    Wow, that soundtrack was awesome! I could never imagine that the Genesis could handle such an awesome soundtrack, and the game looked great! :0

  • Mole

    I'm a little surprised you didn't talk more about the composer for the game (Mutsuhiko Izumi) and some of his other works, as you tend to do that for your Soundtrack videos. Also, as an interesting factoid, two songs from Metamorphic Force were remixed for Konami's GuitarFreaks and DrumMania series (of which Izumi is the driving force) as Model DD6 and Model DD7.

    It's still a great video, though.

    @the above comments: I'm fairly certain this is an arcade only game, and he just mentioned the Genesis as a means of dating the game.

  • moni1996  - blond faggots

    if u like blond faggots u should vissit norway

  • Richard Wesker

    So the premise of the game is that a bunch of furries actually turn into real anthropomorphs and go around kicking some ass? Sign me up!

    Oh yeah, the music rocks, too!

  • Crazed17

    wow the music in the game was awesome! And I liked the ending, too. Haha!

  • Capsloco  - Speaking of the Genesis....

    This game reminds me of Altered Beast, a game which was released on the Genesis.
    In Altered Beast you only had two characters, the second one obviously being a palette swap for player two. But on the bright site, you could transform into different kinds of beastforms like a demon or a wolfman.
    It was at some times kinda gory, but not much.
    Also it has not such an asskicking Ost as Metamorphic Force. (hence to the restrictions of the Genesis, of course.

    Anyway, nice Job Ben. But i wonder...was this game released on XBLA? Would be a hard time to get footage of such an old Arcade game.

    Ps: My bad if you mentioned that already. ^^"

  • Lotus Prince

    Benzai actually made a nod toward Altered Beast in his actual game review of Metamorph.

    Also...WISE FWOM YOUR GWAVE!

  • Deimos1984rd  - Kick ass soundtrack for a kick ass game.

    The werewolf is my favorite as well

  • Supersly

    yay

  • BananaJane

    Furries make ALL the difference when it comes to awesomeness.

  • pinkwerewolf

    OMG thx for finding this game!!! It is sooooooooo fun and I have been looking for it for years. I played this in the arcade but never knew the name and now I do.... :D

  • Feztilez  - Sweet

    The game and the soundtrack are pretty hardcore

  • Mark Fanboy  - "Awaken, my brave warriors!"

    Another great side scrolling beat 'em up I remember from the arcades, still play it on my MAME. I like the panther dude best though.

  • S_Pac_3:16

    Yeah, I never played this game. But you're right, the soundtrack kicks ass!

  • DrakCorpInc

    awesome!
    another perfect video, benzaie!

  • RetroGearoid  - Awesome

    Wow this music is fucking awesomes!!!
    Great Review Ben

    P.S A possible candidate for GSYMDK is the WW2 strategy Hearts of Iron II... I mean the soundtrack is epic!!! Everyone should bow down to its glory!!!
