Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is probably my favorite of the Williams/Midway arcade comps so far (although I have yet to play Arcade Party Pack.) The three real gems on this collection are Blaster, Joust 2, and Splat!- none of these games had ever been converted to a home system before.
The controls and their effectiveness differ from game to game. Use of a control pad to play Spy Hunter is imminently dissatisfying (a steering wheel is almost necessary to play it), and Splat! doesn't fare much better- perhaps Sony's hard to find Dual Analog sticks (as opposed to the Dual Shock analog controls) would work better. Joust 2, Burgertime, Blaster, and Moon Patrol all handle very well, and Root Beer Tapper moderately well.
The multimedia portion of the game is also very nice... the story behind Blaster is fascinating to those who are fans of Eugene Jarvis' work.
The only disappointment besides control issues concerns the lack of the original non-Root-Beer Tapper; perhaps because of licensing restrictions, Sony guidelines, or even a wish to avoid a higher ESRB rating only the Root Beer version is included. Thankfully, the multimedia history *does* talk about the original bar-themed version of the game.
