Midway Arcade Treasures 3

DailyGame

Bitchin' fun, dude! Takes you right back to the roaring road-rage days of the arcade.

PGNx Media

A very clever, themed compilation. The $20 would definitely be worth it just for the Rush and Thunder games, though it is nice to see a bit of the company’s origins.

BonusStage

Whatever else is coming, you’d best believe I’ll be there with bells on... and you should as well.

Game Informer

The games are a blast worth remembering. Old racing is the new hotness. [Oct 2005, p.128]

VGPub

It isn’t all it could be, but this is still better than many games out there selling for more than twice this collection’s price.

PSM Magazine

The best collection of arcade-style racing games ever assembled. [Nov 2005, p.90]

IGN

The San Francisco Rush: The Rock and Hydro Thunder ports are still timeless and fun, but it's Rush 2049 that will keep you coming back to this compilation.

Gaming Age

With the chance to post your scores on the net, this one has a lot of playability if you are one who thrives on those bragging rights.

Next Level Gaming

Of all three Midway Arcade Treasures games, this is the one that probably has the most amount of games you won't want to play for any length of time.

GameZone

Boils down to this: if you like Midways racing games, you're going to really enjoy this. If you're not a big fan of racing games or Midway, this probably isn't even going to grab your attention.

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A pretty good collection with a nice mixture of old to help complement the new. [Dec 2005, p.132]

Game Chronicles

I’m not being offered anything new but I’m being asked to buy it anyway, largely because the material has been repackaged There are highlights, of course, but they’re framed by mediocre efforts that turn out to be better in hindsight.

Game Over Online

You’re not really going to find the arcade experience here, nor are you going to find the full presentation that you may remember putting quarters in so many years ago.

GameSpot

So many of the games included here relied so heavily on custom arcade hardware that they lose much of their appeal in the translation.

Cheat Code Central

It's certainly worth a spin around the block but I wouldn't be so quick to take a two-week road trip with it.

eToychest

So much of what made these games great has been lost simply due to the change of venue, and that is truly unfortunate.

Gamer 2.0

If this collection had more games and a much better presentation to go along with it, it would have been much more attractive and easily-recommended.

TotalGames.net

Race Drivin' was one of the earliest 'real' driving simulators but doesn't remotely stand the test of time. It's deadly slow and bereft of any excitement whatsoever. Unfortunately this describes most of the games on this disc.

Eurogamer

There are much better retro compilations available - not least the first two incarnations of Midway Arcade Treasures, which both feature some all-time classics.

Play Magazine

With MAT 3, the definition of treasure is stretched thin enough to cover the distance from, say, New York to Disappointmentvile. [Oct 2005, p.70]

1UP

The venerability of these selections combined with the substandard interface (exiting out of a given game is performed inconsistently and tends to be very confusing) and paltry selection of titles makes this one you can skip over without losing any sleep.

G4 TV

We can’t stress how much fun we had with Super Off Road. It truly is one of the more timeless arcade racing games.

Computer and Video Games

Okay, so there's two-minutes worth of multiplayer chuckles in "Badlands" and "Super Off-Road," and "Hydro Racer" is marginally better than the terrible "Stun Runner," but that's it. [PSW]
