I can sort of agree with Castle Crashers being the best, because the others that come to mind don't really strike me as better than it. That said, Castle Crashers is a product of the current console generation, and most good beat em up were from old arcades and older consoles. That certainly allowed for a much bigger game than most of the competition when making Castle Crashers.

I thought for years that the old X-Men arcade beat-em-up was amazing but that's partly because I only played it as a kid. It's still okay to fire up with friends from time to time, but I didn't realize until playing it early this year that you can beat the entire game, start to finish, in a half hour. This makes me question my memory on some other beat-em-ups like the Simpsons that I played in arcades as a kid too.

why isnt the first street fighter or mortal kombat in there

because they are fighting games not beat em up games.

[Kodiakclock]

what differentiates the beat-em-up from the hack-and-slash because castle crashers always struck me as a hack-and-slash

ask game informer

[TequilaClock]

Either Final Fight or Streets of Rage MUST have been there.

Once again professional game reviewers prove they don't know shit about video games

Castle crashers wasn't even that good, especially compared to Turtles in Time and Battletoads

[Thor]

besides, Altered Beast is clearly the best beat em up of all times

[VuBawlsClock]

is golden axe beat em up

[Thor]

is golden axe beat em up

Hell yes it is

If you're not sure if a game is hack n slash or beat em up it's probably both. It doesn't have to just be one or the other

[Thor]

what's your beefs with it

Like of real variety in the characters, and art I didn't particularly care for. It might have just been that the person I was playing with was annoying (she was)
