I'd rather play with traffic than play this travesty again. Horrendous, with no fun or atmosphere of the original classics. It's like re-making a great film like Blues Brothers, in other words Blue Brothers 2000, but saying it's just like the classic original, but better. I never said these were better than the originals - they're not. However, they are an interesting take on some old classics and the price can't be beat. I am a huge Space Harrier fan and find the 2500 version a lot of fun. I finished Alen Syndrome so far and got to the last Death Adder (is it junior or his dad at the end? can't remember. I'm talking about the boss and level after you save the king and princess). Golden Axe 2500 is not the greatest game ever but something in it makes me want to keep playing it until I kill that last boss. I think it's the "fun" ;D I can understand why some would not be interested in these versions though. They certainly are not AAA titles on their own e.g if I wasn't a big fan of Golden Axe in the first place I doubt I would find the PS2 version fun. |

Tell us what you really think, Phil. ;D The Fantasy Zone port is virtually the same. You can play it like the arcade version, or with the added 3D bonus levels in the normal version. The best part is that the bosses are fully animated like the arcade (unlike the SMS version where hit registers sometimes aren't even noticed) and there isn't any slow down. It's actually a much more challenging game, too. I went ahead and got the Sega Genesis Collection for PS2 as well, this one looks great also, since it has many classics, RPGs and even some obscure finds like Golden Axe III, all presented as they were originally on the Genesis. I'm looking forward to playing Sword of Vermilion most, actually. Yu Suzuki is the king. I played through Vermillion in 2007 when I got SGC for PSP. It's OK but I prefer the Phantasy Stars (even III ;D ). If SGC had included PS1 as an unlockable, it would be perfect! |

But that's probably for another thread, though.  |
