    Darkstalkers Resurrection isn't just a re-release of two classic fighting games, it also stands as the best example to date of how to revive games from the 1990s on modern gaming hardware.

    In the end, Darkstalkers Resurrection achieves what it set out to do. It brings together arguably the most memorable cast of characters in a fighting game and the recent advances in online gaming netcode to make a nearly two-decade old fighting series feel fresh again.

    Fans have been clamoring for a new game in the series, and it is likely that Capcom is gauging true interest with this collection. If you are like me and cannot wait for a true Darkstalkers sequel, do not hesitate. Buy this collection now. These two games are still high on my list of favorite fighting games from the 32-bit era.

    As you fight your way to victory, whether online or offline, developers Iron Galaxy should be commended on a flawless conversion to the XBox 360.

    In addition, the games are over fifteen years old, and no amount of HD polish can hide the fact that they simply haven’t dated well, (particularly Night Warriors). Darkstalkers is in the unfortunate position of being less accessible than both Street Fighter II and IV, and outclassed by Third Strike.

Both"Darkstalkers Resurrection" is an HD compilation that includes two sequels, "Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge" and "Darkstalkers 3". Both titles introduced aspects that would later appear in other Capcom fighting games. This collection is a labor of love and it shows. The HD visuals look fantastic and both entries still play great. Online play was added as well as training modes, challenges, artwork, multiple viewing options and YouTube sharing. Overall, this is a solid entertainment package that fighting fans should enjoy. I'd rate "Resurrection" with an 8.4 out of 10.… Expand
