World Heroes Anthology Reviews
Strangely, I don't recall some of these World Heroes games being this difficult. I'm not a big World Heroes fan, but I love SNK NeoGeo. Any true fan will need to have this title in their library. You can also change the color on your character, the music, and practice those hard to perform combos in practice mode. Thankfully, you can change the difficulty on this port.
needs a fully overhaul to compete with street fighter, the best 2D fighter ever. The game play is all wrong and the controls are not on point at times. Not a bad game but some aspects it seems they were rushing to get this game completed when it came out years ago.
The game appears to be ARCADE PERFECT ports of each game which I REALLY WANT out of these old school compiliations. New school gamers*(post PSOne, Saturn, SNES) wouldn't even know how to appreciate old gems like these. And burned many quarters to reach the end of each version with two or three of my most favorite charaters, Now in the present I no lorger have to pay, and now I could see every characters ending. But with practice It won't be that much of an issue. All SNK can do for all their SNK ports is design a 4 button w joystick pad and sell it retail if we all really want the old arcade flavor, but it's wishful thinking. I've played "World Heroes" series at the arcade. Bottom line, For old school arcade gaming collectors ONLY. Controls alittle off because it's setup is based on the PS2 dualshock controller.
On pure hope, I picked this up for my PS3 (I don't have a PS2), and as luck would have it, the game runs exactly as I had hoped. That all said, if you ever enjoyed even one of the World Heroes games, buying this anthology will be money well spent. The graphics are crude (though arcade faithful, right up to the Neo Geo boot screens)., and although you can access a menu that shows every character's special moves, they're probably going to be a bit confusing to anyone who didn't play this in the arcade. As far as the games go. well. I was one of those oddballs who gleefully walked past the Street Fighter machines, in search of the bright red NeoGeo cabinets, back in my arcade days. you'd have to have a special place in your heart for World Heroes to really enjoy this disc.
I'm obviously biased and this is my favorite collection. But I can view it from the perspective of when these games were top of the line products in the arcade (unfortunately has closed down by now) a block from my home. I really love this collection. I remember all the characters. If you don't have found memories, I don't know how you could like this game since today's products clearly beat out these old "masterpieces." I remember not having enough quarters and wanting to play World Heroes 1 death match mode one more time. Round One FIGHT.
