Dire low grade versions of classic games

User Rating: 2.5 | EA Replay PSP
I regret buying this game, I figured that having Ultima the black gate to play would be worth the price however I discover that most of the game has been hacked. Somebody thought it would be fun to turn it into an arcade game. Very sad. On top of this all of the games only have one possible save. It would appear that most of the games are running Sega/Mega drive emulations which leaves Ultima ang Wing Commander being Super Nintendo.

The biggest problem with EA Replay is that you aren't getting the best versions of some of the games in the compilation. For example, Syndicate was an amazing PC game in its day. It had you controlling a bunch of trench-coat-wearing thugs in a futuristic gang war. But the Super Nintendo version, which is included in EA Replay, is a total mess, with bad controls that ruin the experience. You also get Ultima: The Black Gate, Wing Commander, and Wing Commander: Secret Missions. Secret Missions was available only on the Super Nintendo, but still, people who want to play a Wing Commander game are thinking about the PC version. The games play just like their original console counterparts, and like all compilations of old games, some of the games hold up a bit better than others. Mutant League Football is still an exciting game, but the Road Rash games don't look so great these days. As for the two Strike games, their clunky helicopter controls were acceptable back when they were first released, but the controls are a bit harder to swallow after all these years.

My advice is to save your money and to go to abandnoia.com and down load decent DOS versions for free. My final word to describe this set of games is "Naff".

Avoid.
