My only issue with this package as a whole is the stories from the games have seemingly been cut out. I liked this because it gives you something to aim for in the game and gives it replay value because you want to get the achievements. There are no points on offer, just bragging rights to your friends. There are specific goals you can aim for like completing a certain move with a player in one of the games unlocks the achievement. The game itself offers multiplayer Ad Hoc mode for every game which offers a lot of replay value, especially on the fighting games only problem being that it is not a game share game so both party's need a copy of the game before playing the multiplayer aspects.Īnother nice inclusion is an achievement style system. I really enjoyed Samurai Showdown, more so than most of the last gen fighters I have played. The game runs in 2D, it has some fantastic background graphics and the fighting areas are very nicely designed, with interactive items in the areas such as barrels that get cut open when you use your weapon nearby. This adds an element of strategy to the game as you have to plan when the best time to use it is. Each character has an extensive moves list, this makes it interesting to explore their fighting styles more, trying to master them.Īnother nice inclusion is the ‘POW' bar, after you have taken a few hits this fills up and you can unleash a super attack on your unfortunate foe.

The gameplay is very fast paced which is refreshing because I personally find some older fighters to be a tad clunky and slow. It also included bloody and fatal move videos which were filtered for the home releases back when this was released in '93 but they return in this version. Interestingly the characters in this game all wield weapons that were considered quite unusual and individual at the time. You have 13 samurais to choose from in the beginning, whether you can unlock more I'm not too sure, I never managed to. It's basic fighting game stuff really you pick your fighter and go through 10 stages trying to prove your worth to the world. This compilation seems to include a lot of fighting games.

The transition to the PSP has been good for this game and I found it to be good fun and always a challenge. Metal Slug is a 2D side scrolling action game with fantastic graphics, pretty backdrops and good music. You can collect power ups as you go along to make yourself more powerful which certainly comes in handy against the hoards of soldiers wanting to kill you. In this game you have to run and shoot your way to the end of the level whilst a) collecting hostages and b) trying not to die - with the second point being the more difficult one! As you run through you are subjected to relentless enemy fire from both the sides and above. It has had multiple remakes and sequels across many platforms. Most people will be familiar with Metal Slug or at least the franchise. I am not going to go through each one of these games in depth but instead pick one or two from the bunch and expand on them. A somewhat mixed bag of games are on offer but this keeps this package interesting. Included in this package are, Art of Fighting, Baseball Stars 2, Burning Fight, Fatal Fury, King of Monsters, Last Resort, Magician Lord, Metal Slug, Neo Turf Masters, Samurai Showdown, Sengoku, Shock Troopers, Super Sidekicks 3, The King Of Fighters '94, Top Hunter and last but not least World Heroes.
