Taito = AWESOME. Legends??= NOT SO MUCH

User Rating: 8.5 | Taito Legends 2 PS2
By werc96 | Review Date:
As someone who grew up loving, playing, obsessing and saving every quarter back in the days for arcades...I have every arcade collection to date.
Including legends 1 which is amazing and brings back fond memories...HOWEVER....
Legends 2? Im trying to think whats so legendary about it....Aside from the darius series, Bust a move..and a handful of others...the other 30 games left me clueless to when they came out..

Most of the games are ME TOO'S. Meaning...for every golden axe theres an ARABIAN MAGIC. For every double dragon theres a KUNG FU KID....For every r-type theres a g-darius......You get where im getting to with this....
However i cant complain....39 games for $20 is seriously a steal....and all the fun you'd expect from it...The latest game in the series is 97...the earliest 79...
You know the 90's time frame is saturated with beat em ups and everything else every other major publuisher was doing at the time...
The emulation however has been perfectly translated...

Original sounds and graphics....CHECK.
Controls: CHECK.
Quarter munching crazyness: TRIPLE CHECK.

Have fun...go crazy.....And get this gem for as cheap as it truly is.
