Not as good as the first volume, but there's still some great games here

Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2 follows up the excellent first volume of retro games, and while the results aren't as great as the games in the first volume, there are still some great old games here to play. First off noting, we finally get perfect ports of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Strider; both of which are still a blast to play even to this day, and are worth the price of admission alone. A few other games, including 1941, Captain Commando, Three Wonders, Side Arms, Block Block, and Mega Twins are all solid as well. The original Street Fighter is here too, and it's still as frustrating as you remember it, but to me it seems a bit jumpy and the controls are a little clunky to boot. A few other games, including Avengers, Quiz & Dragons, and Speed Rumbler, weren't anything to write home about them, and they still aren't now. While this is a solid package overall, there's a few glaring omissions that you'd think Capcom would've packed in here. Still no Darkstalkers, and even an underrated and overlooked game like Red Earth would've been welcome here. Oh well, maybe there'll be another Capcom Classics volume down the line. And if it's half as good as Volume's 1 and 2, it'll be more than welcome.

Street FIghter 2 Turbo alone makes this purchase well worth it

There has never been an arcade perfect port of any Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo edition on a console until now, most hardcore players have been waiting over 10 years for this. The sounds and music may have some defects, but the gameplay is indeed truly arcade perfect and a must have for ST players. Aside from that, there is a decent quiz game Quiz and Dragons, I heard it was updated with new questions by Sirlin. Overall, its a great value considering that you get many games for a low price.

Why not include super street fighter 2 the new challengers?

I am waiting for the pal version in February.Although I am happy to hear super street fighter 2 turbo is difficult I am disappointed super street fighter 2 the new challengers is not included unless of course it is an unlockable feature.This means street fighter fans like myself will have to continue waiting until their PS2 street fighter 2 collection is fully complete.Street fighter 1 is inferior to super street fighter 2 the new challengers.When and if Capcom release this game for PS2 I want it to be arcade perfect like the others and of comparable difficulty.

Captain Commando

This is a great collection of games to have in your library. The main reason to buy this is for SF2 Turbo, of course. However, there are several other titles on this disc that are worth playing. I recall playing 1941, Black Tiger, Captain Commando, and King of Dragons. Most of these games are multiplayer.
Therefore, this title is great for kids that would enjoy games that don't require a lot of hardcore skills. In Addition, these games are great when you don't have an hour plus to dedicate to a game. Or, you could buy this title to reminisce the 'golden age' of arcade gaming.

old school is here, but...............

Ho-Hum, I enjoyed vol.1 more. I just wanted this one for the 1st STREET FIGHTER. Even though it's fairly pathetic in terms of graphics & gameplay compared to any of the SF2 series. I just don't understand why capcom didn't just put SF1 in SF: Anniversary collection as an unlockable. But anyway all the other games were pretty good to see and play again, at least there's a lot of 'em and thats always a good thing.

I BOUGHT THIS TITLE BECAUSE OF THE GAMES I REMEMBER AS A KID AND THOUGHT I WOULD ENJOY THEM NOW AS AN ADULT GAMER, BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE.FROM THE WAY THE NINTENDO CONTROLLED THEM AND HOW THAT IS DONE IS A BIT DUMBED DOWN. YOU DONT HAVE TO WORK HARD TO GET MORE LIVES OR SAVE POINTS YOU CAN DIE RUN OUT OF MEN AND NOT HAVE TO START FRESH FROM THE BEGINING YOU JUST RESTART FROM THE POINT OF DEMISE, AND SINCE I AM PLAYING ON A PS3 IT IS REALLY SMARTER THAN THE GAMES. KEEP THE MEMORIES OF WHEN YOU PLAYED IN YOUR YOUTH BECAUSE ITS NOT THE SAME EXPERIANCE NOW...

A POWER METAL VIDEOGAME COLLECTION!!!!!!!!

If you like fantasy, swords, chivalry, sorcery and dungegons & dragons THEN YOU WILL LOVE THESE GAMES!!!!!!!

Of course, not every game is about fantasy, there is action, fights and insane adventures! But the "POWER METAL" games are:

* Kings of Dragons: Choose between an elf, knight, dwarf, sorcerer and a big warrior to kill a bunch of dragons and beasts to save the fantasy world.

* Knights of the Round: Choose between two of the 13 knights of King Arthur or the king himself to fight for the kingdom and peace.

* Magic Sword: Control a barbarian knight that has to go to a gigantic tower to kill the king of evil and his monters or for him to become the evil king himself.

* Quiz and Dragons: Answer the questions right and you may proceed!

* Black Tiger: Control a strong knight that will use his whip to kill the Black Dragon and his brothers to restore the peace.

This five fantasy games have the horizontal gameplay and there are full of action and adventure!! And THE BEST OF ALL: You can turn down the music volume of the game so you can only hear the sound effects and put some POWER METAL music like Manowar, Dio or Blind Guardian!!!!

P.S: The reason that I put 3 stars is because the game doesn't have special features and I though that there would be more games.

Adios.

Black Tiger,Strider and 18 more Capcom classics on one disc!!! Wow!!!

Virtually a 20 game arcade on one small disc for enjoyment on the PS2 or 3!!! Being a Black Tiger fan I was in video game heaven when this game was released!!! Heck, I bought a PS2 and a PSP also, just to play Black Tiger again,and you can even pick the number of lives and difficulty,just try doing that on the arcade original,well you can't!!! A boatload of positive memories!!! the other 19 games are a hoot as well,Strider,Captain Commando,Block Block(it's sort of like Super Breakout or Arkanoid,and is just as fun!),Magic Sword,King Of Dragons(my nephew Trey's favorite,but he likes Black Tiger as well!),Knights of The Round,Quiz and Dragons(you need your thinking cap for this one!),Three Wonders and many more!!! An awesome bargain for the money!!!Two Thumbs Up,Way Up!!! Five stars!!! A+

Awesome Game!!!

This game has pretty good graphics and over 20 different games on it. A lot of the games on it are medieval and are a lot alike but they are fun. There are also fighting games on this too that are fun. My favorite games on this are, Street Fighter, Street Fighter 2 turbo fighting, Captain Commando, Knights of the Round, King of Dragons and Three Wonders. Block Block is kind of stupid and I don't know if it is black tiger or tiger road but that game is lame and hard. I wish that there were interviews or clips on here like other compilations/arcade games had. If you are looking for other compilation/arcade games look for my reviews on... Taito Legends 1, Midway Arcade Treasures 1-3, Intellivision Lives, and Atari Anthology. Reviews Coming soon... Namco Museum 50th anniversary, Capcom Classics Collection Volume 1, Taito Legends 2 and Sega Classics Collection and/or Sega Genesis Collection.
