Midway Arcade Treasures 3 Reviews
This is the best game on the market i have purchased 2 games for psp2 systems and 1 for xbox my whole family loves playing this game. It should have a rating of 10. A must have for any system. we all play for hours and hours. This is a awesome game and everyone in your family will get hours of enjoyment out of this game.
**DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR CUTTING EDGE GRAPHICS OR FEATURES.** This is really more for gamers craving something nostalgic. I remember playing HT in arcades in the 90's, and it has been faithfully recreated for my xbox [even if the 8 year old graphics haven't aged well]. The entire reason I ordered this game was so I could play Hydro Thunder [and with it I'm very impressed. Besides Hydro Thunder, the other two games on the disc that I really enjoy are Super Offroad and RUSH 2049.
Always HATED those. A couple of those old school racers where you are looking down on a track trying to steer little cars around are here. The graphics suck throughout, trust me. This disc is only for engineering students researching a term paper on video game history or something, not for playing. Avoid this hemorrhoid. You gotta have a serious need for a nostalgia-fix to enjoy this game. There are only 2 mildly fun games in this collection; One is a 4x4 trucks racer that has all kinds of jumps and stuff,(but it's out-dated and lame compared to all the decent stuff available for your xbox like Burnout 3 & 4 and Midnight Club 3 dub edition remix and good old Rally Sport Challenge 2), and there is a boat racer here that is sort of okay also, but these 2 games don't make it worth while. I wish I had read this review before I bought it.
Each game is very unique in the controls, and is very simple to pickup. Graphics: B+. Midway Arcade Treasures 3 for the Xbox, is a compilation of 8 outrageous game from the past, all in one convient package. Overall: B 1/2+ Fun & Enjoyment: B 1/2-. Sound: B. The graphics and sound also have been restored very well for die hard racers who've played some of these greats like the futuristic San Francisco Rush 2049, and they look great.
Midway Arcade Trasures 3 for the Xbox is a great buy for die hard racers, nostalgic buffs, or for anybody who hasn't even played these true racing gems. There is so much within the classic video games these days. Althogh they may not remain definitive for people who've grown up with racing greats like Gran Turismo or Project Gotham Challenge, but they are just all fun rolled into one convient package. Yet, with games like Need For Speed: Most Wanted and Mario Kart DS for Nintendo's DS out, there are just some Xbox fanatics that just want it to really let loose from the past. version offf their original Midway Arcade Treasures series. Nevertheless, it really isn't a bad thing, but it still remains a whole lot of fun. The games are each ranged from classics like Badlands and the original 3-D racer Race Drivin', to classics that just push the fierceness of extreme racing to the limits like San Francisco Rush: The Rock Alcatraz Edition, and the wild watercraft race Hydro Thunder. Now, that opportunity is here for all.
I like it because there are so many great racing greats here, and they are all just fun to ride. Control: B 1/2+. Although it might not be much for those who feel the nedd to be fast and furious in the world of racing games. Midway has been pushing those classics to the bone recently with a P.C.
Race Drivin: Emulated from arcade. Hydro Thunder: Straight Dreamcast port. 2. Sound and video OK. Nowadays, there is no excuse for anything but arcade perfect.
A surprisingly good game. 5. The FPS limiter is off just a bit, but it's decent enough. I only bought it for Race Drivin anyway. 8. 4.
Modern gamers looking for a good crash 'em up racing game will want to try Flat Out or Burn Out 3. The sound cuts in and out. Not bad. Old game, but a perfect port. I always liked the "wings" button. Textures are low-rent. Feels like a Dreamcast port though. Also, a good job.
Difficult to control. Overall, a weak package. 7. Overall, not a total disaster. Sound and video OK. 6.
Here is a quick rundown of each game and how it stacks up to the original:. Off Road Thunder: I didn't play this one in the arcade. Obviously not finished. SF Rush - The Rock: Emulated from arcade version. Back when these games were popular, people like me were very picky about arcade-to-home conversions. FPS (frames per second) problems. They even incorporated the clutch.
Sound and video OK. STUN Runner: Emulated from the arcade. A good one was hard to come by. Awful.
Mildly amusing. Audio isn't quite there either; sounds like you're squealing tires too much. Credits set to freeplay, so no infinite nitros. Badlands: Emulated from arcade. Super Off-Road: Emulated from arcade. 1.
3. The control is good, though I doubt any force feedback wheels will work. The best home version of Hard Drivin/Race Drivin available. Rush 2049: Dreamcast port. The FPS is all over the place. Similar to Super Off-Road.
