Thanks for ruining my childhood memories EA

If you're looking for a collection of 14 games that take up less than 32 mbs on a system that can run PS2 games ... then you've found what you're looking for right here. On the other hand, if you're looking for a nostalgic glance into your videogaming past ... well, you may still want to keep looking. While this game provides a modest selection of titles it hardly reflects all of the games in the package in an perfect-port manner. Notably the Road Rash games ... games which I grew up with and my primary reason for purchasing this item. Since EA decided to get rid of the original soundtrack and replace it with looping crap these games lost a big part of what made them so great. Sadly this is a perfect example of the type of company EA has become from the great company that it once was. If you're desperate to go old school or looking for variety, you might consider this. Just remember that with other options available for the psp cough*homebrew*cough you can actually play the real versions of some classic gaming gems. Cheers!

Some fun, but also a disappointment

I bought this because of Syndicate, but it turns out the Syndicate in this collection is nothing like the old PC version that I loved... (It's a weird console port from the Genesis...) Same goes for Wing Commander... I had fun playing Desert Strike and the flipper-game, but I wouldn't have bought it just for that.

Mutant League is Back!

For the price of the game ($20!), this is a major steal. This is a collection of the great original games EA used to make before they went crazy with the movie games. There are 14 games, the most notable being Mutant League Football, Road Rash 1,2, and 3, and 2 games from the classic "Strike" series. With the addition of ad hoc multiplayer, Mutant League football alone is reason enough for this game especially since it costs more for just the genesis cartridge. MLF is the definition of an arcade football game. Lagging behind the other team in points? Then just wipe out the whole team and win by default. Bribing the refs and throwing explosive "fumbles" right at the other team also adds to the insanity of the game. Plus the load times are nonexistant which is a rarity for the psp. Pick it up now!

-port of a bad port-

I bought this for one reason - In fact this one reason is what led me to ultimately buy a PSP (at that particular moment anyway). The reason was "WING COMMANDER." One of my all-time favorite PC game series' now defunct from EA's take over of Origin Systems. It seams all they wanted was Ultima.

Straight to the point - These ports of Wing Commander and WC "Secret Missions" seam to be ports of the SNES ports of the original PC game - If that makes any sense. ;) Right from the title/opening sequence and omission of certain musical cues, I recognized and re-lived my hatred for this mockery of a re-make.

Break down of what I do not like:
*Very choppy animations which make the game nearly impossible to control and get a good bead on the enemy Kilrathi ships on the HUD. This should not happen on a powerful modern machine!
*Horrible use of button combinations in controlling your ship (targeting system etc.) and especially for contacting/commanding your wingman. Communications is half the game in Wing Commander. Hell, I couldn't even figure out how to contact my carrier to request permission to land & dock.

I gave this collection a 2 because I'm happy that EA has resurrected the name of Wing Commander (granted very poorly). And given the selection of other games, the $20 value isn't so bad. If anything, this experience has given me desire to put together another 486DX33 and run a few missions through the Vega sector once again. ;)

Now if EA would only invest some money in finishing the WC Prophecy story... poor Blair...

Inexcusable butchering of road rash games

As other reviews note, the music on the Road Rash games is one song looped. ONE. SONG. LOOPED. The best part of those games was the music. Why in the world they would not put the original music in those games is beyond me, and I am dumbfounded. EA, you've let me down (again).

It brings back memories from back from the day. I forgot about road Rash and Desert Strike, it was fun playing them again. Of course, I don't remember much about the soundtrack but I think it was changed but no biggy. Mutan league football is great, I had nver palyed the game and it's worth it. The price is the cheapest I found and a great buy.

This is a great collection of some of my favorite EA games from the Sega Genesis era. Playing Jungle Strike and Road Rash really brought me back.
Some of the music is different on a few of them, and it can be a dissapointment, but it's easy to get past once you get into the gameplay.
This game is great for anybody in there early to late 20's who grew up in this era as playing this collection can really take you back to your youth. I would recommend this game to anyone who can ever remember playing a Sega Genesis

Classic games from early consoles.

I've noticed that quite a few people are complaining that the versions of the various games are from the SNES and Genesis consoles rather than the PC versions. As a console gamer, I find these games to be spot on and quite enjoyable. Aside from some minor sound issues on Mutant League Football. ( A sort of tinny warble) The games play exactly as I remember them and look pretty good on the handheld. So if you didn't play these on the PC in their so-called "better" versions, and you're looking for a little old-school gaming, EA Replay is a good choice.

Ok, so the soundtrack does kind of suck a bit. But hey, it's still the same games we came to love back in the day. The sound can get a bit annoying, but I love the games, so it's still fun to me. I love being able to play my Strike games on my PSP. As well as Mutant League Football, and Road Rash. My only knock on this, is why put all 3 Road Rash games? Why not just put the 3rd one, and replace the 1st and 2nd with 2 other classic games? Other then that, it was worth the buy.
