Ok guys. I've been playing Kingdom Under Fire : Circle of Doom (Thread
HERE) And I need me some more hack & slash action. To get started:
I have the following systems:
PS3 (60 gig, fully backwards compatible)
Xbox 360
Wii
PSP
DS
I have in the hack & slash genre
Champions of Norrath 1 and 2.
KuF:COD
Untold legends (PSP)
X-men Alliance
Marvel: UA
I don't PC game, so please, don't come into this thread and say Diablo (1 OR 2). I've also played Baldur's Gate, and was wondering if there's any others available for consoles.

Was just going to suggest that.
Do wii sports with your friends. Yeah, that game gets bloody when you're playing with alot of people.
Conan I enjoyed for the sheer number of button combos hack and slash. But I haven't actually bought it yet, only rented as I can't quite justify full price on that one.
Final Fantasy:Crystal Chronicles:Ring of Fate or what have you. Pretty damn fun. Not out in the western world just yet.
also on ps2 so you can play on ps3 if necessary. these are must play imo if you are into this genre.
Though personally I prefer Samurai Warriors

Keep em coming!
Arkadian Warriors is a newish 360 live arcade title. The demo seemed a bit simplistic and may not fill your needs, but it's definately mindless hack and slash. if nothing else grab the demo and check it out.

I guess there's a distinction to be made between different kinds of hack'n'slash - there's the dungeon crawler type, which fits Dark Alliance and Gauntlet Legends, and there's also the action type, which is more in the vein of Dynasty Warriors or Devil May Cry.
Then again, I really haven't played many of these for any amount of time, so I could be way off.
I don't know if it's any good though
There is only one incarnation of Phantasy Star online, on the Dreamcast. There are no other versions and if you think there are you are a heathen.
Hey man, some of us never got to play it on the Dreamcast (I broke mine by playing Tech Romancer for like four days straight) so some of us only know the GameCube version

Hi V,
All versions of Fatalis are available for download, last I checked :P
;-)
Have you tried the Baldur's Gate hack n slash games on the PS2 and Xbox I think. Probably backwards compatible with the newer generation.
Dark Alliance was pretty good.
Get God of War 1 and 2, Devil May Cry 3 (all on PS2), or wait for Devil May Cry 4 which comes out next month. Dynasty Warriors 6 is apparently out soon, as well. Ninja Gaiden (Black) for the OXbox is very good as well. None of these games are RPGs but all have some customization options and all are very, very good.
Someone mentioned Ninja Gaiden black, being you have a PS3 I'd recommend you pick up Sigma instead. It's pretty cheap nowadays and looks lovely in HD. Sadly the Pal version I have is missing decaptiations
However from your initial post it seems you want something a little more RPG-ish. Have you considered Fable on the xbox? It's a downloadable title so you don't even have to get up off your big fat arse to buy it.
You'll then be well prepared for the 360 sequel "soon" to appear.

Your only excuse is something really extenuating, like your PC is too old and there's no way you can afford a new one, or you have vowed to your parents that you will never play a PC game, or your terminal illness causes extreme discomfort whenever you play a PC game for some reason.
If the reason is "they just don't jive with me," then you still have to play Diablo 2.
Heck, even if you think your PC is too weak, you can play D2. It's old now. If you really have to you can go all the way back to the original Diablo. I think the $100 laptop for developing nations could even play Diablo.
It's just plain the best hack-n-slash out there that you can play.
If you must, then play Lord of the Rings: Return of the King on GBA. I link to ebay because it is the only place you will ever find the game nowadays. It plays very much like Diablo 2 and is the most awesome portable hack-n-slash ever created.
And there are some people who don't like to PC game, my pc is up in the spare room and isn't in the ideal location to spend lots of time gaming. I prefer to do it, being that it is my leisure time, in comfort, on my sofa!

I'm really shady on the details because I haven't played it yet, but hopefully someone can come in and correct the hell out of me.
Alien Syndrome for Wii. It's Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance/Champions of Norrath IN SPACE. With lasers, flamethrowers, and black hole bazookas. And wiimote aiming.
No, I've played both Diablo and Diablo 2. I'm done with it. Most time, you have guys that come in here, not adding to the discussion saying 'Diablo.' It didn't really interest me, and I don't want the conversation killed because of it.
My Wifi-Max broke again. I'll just download them and try to play locally.
On the consoles, it looks like you've already tried most of the good hack & slash RPGs. I remember Bard's Tale being pretty fun despite its average gameplay simply because it was really fun.
Shining Force Exa might fill the bill, although it got pretty mediocre reviews. Screenshots make it look fun though.
Also you could try Odin Sphere. It's not your traditional hack & slash RPG (it's 2D sidescrolling for one), but it's supposedly really good.
