Midway Arcade Treasures 3 Reviews
My son loves this selection and all the games are good for kids of all ages.
It is a must have for everyone that loves to play games. This is the best game ever we play everyday for hours and hours. Anybody that loves to play psp2 games will love this game.
A bad thing about this game is it doesnt have interviews like the first two midway arcade tresures did and it doesnt have near as much games as the first two did and it is sad that all of the games have to be racing, dont get me wrong, I love racing games but I think this is an overdose and too much. Rush the Rock is o.k. Overall this game has good graphics. STUN Runner sucks and so does Race Drivin.
Capcom Classics Collection volume 1, Taito Legends 2, Namco Museum 50th anniversery, Sega Classics Collection and/or Sega Genesis Collection. This game has great graphics in most of its games, considering the time that it was made. Most graphics can pass as n64 material, a few even gamecube.
For more info on arcade/ compilaton games check ot my reviews on. And soon to come reviews.
Midway Arcade Treasures 1 and 2, Taito Legends 1, Capcom Classics Collection volume 2, Intellivision Lives and Atari Anthology. I think that this game is worth 10 dollars. The best games on here are, Hydro Thunder, Rush 2049, Offroad Thunder, Bad Lands, and Super Offroad.
The highlight of this compilation are the San Francisco Rush games; Rush 2049 and Rush the Rock: Alcatraz Edition. The racing sim Race Drivin' has always been an acquired taste, while good 'ol S.T.U.N. For racing fans who enjoyed these games either in the arcade or on previous home releases only.
Runner and Off Road Thunder are fun for a while. The third installment of Midway's Arcae Treasures series features 8 arcade racing games ranging from being over a decade old to being release only a few years ago. Both are still as fast and furious as they were in the arcade, and both still look good as well.
Despite the cheap price, it would have been nice to have a few more games or some extras available, but it's great to be able to play the Rush games again. There's plenty of polygon dropout, and the game is still as average as it was in the arcade. Next up is the boat racer Hydro Thunder, which was moderately received when released upon home systems at the dawn of the 128 era with the release of Sega's Dreamcast.
Super Off Road and Badlands are similar styled racers from years back, and both haven't aged very well.
Although many people for Playstation 2 that love racing games might pass this up in place of games like Gran Turismo 4, or Crash Bandicoot Tag Team racing games, Midway's Arcade Treasures 3 is a great buy for anybody who feels the desire of being a speed demon. The compilation includes so many great arcade and console greats like one of the very first 3-D racing games, Race Drivin', the fast and extremely furious San Francisco Rush: The Rock Alcatraz Edition, and its futuristic counterpart San Francisco Rush 2049, and classics like Off Road Thunder and Badlands. However, many classics haven't really stood out within the the test of these times. The games have been all restored beautifully, without much of a hinderence. Control: B 1/2+. It really has been a surprise about what makes a great racing video game. Sound: B.
Midway Arcade Treasures 3 for the Playstation 2, is a fantastic racing compilation that detail several arcade classics that debut onto the console market.
Nevertheles, classics have always found a great way of coming back into the mainstream.
With Midway's compilation of classic games from the 80's and 90's for the home consoles PS2, Gamecube and Xbox, they have really brought anybody who was never into the past of games like Mortal Kombat or Marble Madness a second chance.
That has happened with compilations of games from Atari, Capcom, and recently Midway.
The control and manuverability is very easy to function and still has plenty of enjoyment in those gears.
Graphics: B+.
Overall: B
Fun & Enjoyment: B+.
Now, it is in the racing extreme as well.
