User Rating: 5 | Atari Classics Evolved PSP
By jangled | Review Date:
The GOOD: Evolved versions of Lunar Lander and Missile Command and Warlords, Classic versions of Tempest, Asteroids make this title worth the "B-grade" price tag.

The BAD: ANYTHING with a paddle... (Pongs, Breakouts)

The issue isn't paddle sensitivity, or paddle size; The problem is a combination of BOTH. No matter how you set the sensitivity, it's either too slow or too fast. Combine this with a paddle the size of a grain of rice and you'll be screaming a long time before you get to the unlock-ables.
What good are unlock-ables that are IMPOSSIBLE to get unlocked?

If I ever get to the 50-plus 2600 games I'll update this review. (Don't hold your breath.)
Control issues render this title nearly "Broken", but not quite.
Certain Hyper-gamers may even like it that way.
Personally, the thing I hated about Retro arcades was how quickly they took your quarter. Same deal here.

All-in-all, If you like games that test your skill, there are a few.
If you like games that frustrate you with issues, there are too many.
If you can ignore the bogus ones, you might consider this title worthwhile.

    I'm 1 to collect old school game compilations. They're good for trips, or waiting in hospital emrgency rooms, due to the variety of games on 1 disc. I thought this would be an interesting snag, based upon some of the gra... Read Full Review
