Midway Arcade Origins
SCORE: 63
Midway Arcade Origins is all about the
nostalgia baby. Over thirty arcade games in High Definition. These games
range from Gauntlet to Arch Rivals. There is Rampage, Total Carnage,
Pit-Fighter, Spy Hunter Xybots, Toobin', Marble Madness, Joust, Joust
II, Spy Hunter II, Wizard of Wor, and many more.
The arcade realism in Midway Arcade Origins is jaw dropping. I did not
remember some of these games were so bloody or so violent. Others are
having women busting all out. Midway Arcade Origins is historically
accurate, which shames us gamers in so many ways and on so many levels.
The old arcade sounds are alive and well thanks to Midway Arcade
Origins. I did not realize certain things were so limited. Defender is a
classic example. Although getting blown up had a nice audio effect to go
with the really cool visual effect. These games all vary in age, some
are older than I am. So I did not expect them to contain the latest
music.
The controls are all over the place in Midway Arcade Origins. Some of
them are great and others why they were such arcade coin inhalers. I
also noticed that there is a noticeable difference between how a game
with a trackball controlled in the arcade versus this home console
version.
Parents must pay close attention to the rating in Midway Arcade Origins.
The ESRB is very lenient, so when they say thirteen years old and older
only, you might want to go fifteen or sixteen. The descriptors actively
denote the aggressive tendencies in Midway Arcade Origins. With that
said there are a few great games in Midway Arcade Origins for kids.
There is Toobin', and 720 degrees.
