  1. The graphics are obviously dated, but accurate, and the audio is fantastic. [Nov 2005, p.90]
  2. In the end this game delivers what you would expect, a collection of classic titles from the days of yore. For the decent price of the title it's not a bad little collection.
  3. If you're looking to dabble in a bit of retro gaming I'd advise looking at the far more entertaining "Capcom Classics Collection," which includes superior games and has been created with far more care.
