Buy Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2

Customer Ratings:

Volume 2!! This is another awesome collection of games from the golden era of arcade! Many games here were made for NES and SNES, but now we get REAL arcade versions!

Each game looks wonderful and comes with history info, unlockable art, tips, cast, and music. You can adjust the screen, difficulty, etc.... Progress can be saved anytime during gameplay. Multiple players can play the shooter and brawler games together for more fun. These games really test your reflexes. Most games have beautiful graphics. The game designers' vivid imagination shines. I hope Capcom will make a volume 3 with Dark Stalkers.

Here are the machines:

1941:Counter Attack. A vertical shooter. You shoot up German WW2 planes, ships, vehicles, etc... Good game.

Avengers: A vertical brawler. Average game.

Black Tiger: A horizontal platformer similar to Ghosts 'n Goblins series. Medieval setting. Good game.

Block Block: A ping-pong game similar to Arcanoid(not sure of the spelling). Good game.

Captain Commando: A horizontal brawler similar to Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and Final Fight. You can pick up cool guns, operate robots(similar to riding on beasts from Golden Axe). Enemy design could be better. Good game.

Eco Fighter: A zany horizontal shooter. Control is similar to Forgotten Worlds. Nice graphics. I think this game was never released in U.S. arcades because it speaks Japanese. Great game.

The King of Dragons: A horizontal brawler with mediveal setting. Some RPG elements because you level up various statistics. Bigger and better weapons/armors are acquired as you progress. Nice graphics. Great game.

Knights of The Round: A mediveal horizontal brawler. Bigger and better weapons/armors are acquired as you progress. Nice graphics. Great game.

Last Duel: A futuristic shooter. Decent game.

Magic Sword: A simple medieval horizontal brawler. You unlock jail doors to recruit fellow fighters that act like satellite. Good game.

Mega Twins: A cute cartoon horizontal platformer. I think this was never released in U.S. arcades. Great game.

Quiz & Dragons: A trivia game. Good game.

Side Arms: Hyper Dyne. A futuristic horizontal shooter. You control a jet pack wearing hero then combine with another jet suit for more cool fire power. Average game.

Street Fighter: The original fighter game. The original arcade machine have 2 big 'power' sensitive buttons, the hitting strength determined heavy, medium or light attack. You literally get a work-out playing this game. Funky control with cheesy yet funny voice actor. Good game.

Strider: A futuristic horizontal platformer. You control a futuristic Ninja with sword slash attack. Awesome graphics. Cool design. There are various spoken languages between levels, including Japanese, Russian and Chinese. I played this game on Genesis but Genesis version didn't have voice-overs, so the arcade version in this Capcom Classics Collection V2 is truly great. Superb game.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo: A fighter game. Similar to earlier Street Fighter II games with more characters like Cammy, Fei Long, T.Hawk, and Dee Jay. There is NO loading time between matches. Superb game.

The Speed Rumbler: A top-view driving shooter. You control a land vehicle. Horrible game.

Three Wonders: Its actually 3 games in one. Platform, shooter, and puzzle. The puzzle game is similar to Pengo, you push blocks to crush enemies. The horizontal platform and shooter games are great, the puzzle one decent.

Tiger Road: A horizontal brawler similar to Trojan. Medieval Far-East setting. Good game.

Varth: A futuristic vertical shooter. Good game.

This is a must buy for all REAL gamers. Old school gamers will absolutely love it. Thanks Capcom for making this game!

Boy this collection is much more expensive than when I bought it. Now I enjoy all the games I couldn't afford to play way back when. The transition to home console (original x-box in this case)seems flawless. A few of the titles are filler, but overall a whole lotta fun!

This is all the fun of the arcade without blowing tons of quarters. I loved Capt Commando as a kid and this is just like the arcade. Not like when Double Dragon went to the Nintendo. There is a huge selection of multi player games here for youung and old alike. I highly recomend it for anyone from the 80s or anybody that loves good old arcade games.

Honest reviews on Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2

Alas, this excellent compilation of games is only compatible with ORIGINAL Xbox (not Xbox 360) consoles. [Anyone doubting the veracity my assertion can verify it by consulting Wikipedia's pertinent article ("List of Xbox games compatible with Xbox 360").]

Having owned my Sony PS2 console for several years; and having only recently added an Xbox 360 (slim) to my collection of consoles, I must say I'm sort of ironically relieved that my prior purchase of the PS2 version of "Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2" (as well as "Vol. 1," which is likewise incompatible with Xbox 360) wasn't, in effect, wasted. ;-)

P.S.: I recently also added the (easily confusable, but quite separate) "Capcom Digital Collection" to my collection of Xbox 360 games. I did this primarily because it (unlike the "Capcom Classics Collections" for Sony PS2 and the original Xbox) includes the excellent game "Commando 3."
