Yet another great retro compilation on the PSP, this time from EA (Electronic Arts) featuring classics like Road Rash 1 - 3, Desert & Jungle Strike, Wing Commander and a few more.
I personally purchased this collection mainly for the Road Rash games, which I absolutely loved when they were out on the Megadrive.
The games themselves haven't really been touched and the gameplay is as playable as ever and seems to have aged really well.
The developers have seemed to have changed the music on all 3 games to have just 1 track playing on Road Rash 1 & 2 and then just 1 different track playing on Road Rash 3. This isn't a big problem as it can be turned off but I can't see much need for the changes as the music was perfectly fine on the originals.
The Strike games are also surprisingly very playable, as I used to find them extremely tricky to play with the d-pad on the Megadrive controller. Playing it with the stick on the PSP seems to work really well.
Syndicate is also one of the best games on this collection. With pretty strategic gameplay and loads of missions based all over the (futuristic) world, there's plenty of content to keep you busy here.
Haunting starring Polterguy is a bizarre but fun game where you wander around a house and have to possess objects to scare all of the occupants. I'd never played (or even heard) of this before, so it is quite a good bonus to the collection.
B.O.B. is a fairly basic platform-shooter which is fairly similar to Super Metroid on the SNES. Not bad for a few minutes and is pretty easy to finish.
Other games in the collection include Wing Commander and its add-on, Secret Missions. Both of them are pretty bad and are quite non-responsive. There's also Mutant League Football which is pretty good for a game or two. I would have preferred one of the old Madden games (preferably `92 or `93) which were the best of their time. Ultima VII is an RPG what is at a very weird angle and seems pretty dull.
The collection is very good, if only for Road Rash 1-3, Desert & Jungle Strike and Syndicate. There are better compilations on the PSP like the Sega Megadrive Collection and Midway Arcade Treasures Extended, but like this collection, there will be only a select few that you will remember and love. If you can get EA Replay cheap, I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who played these games back in the early-mid 90's.
B.O.B: A pretty slow and styalistically uninteresting shooter, dosn't keep interest for long.
Budokan: Incredably bad beat em up with treacle pace, awkward delayed control and bad hit detection.
Desert/Jungle Strike: Fun aerial shooters, thought urban strike is unexplainably absent but they arn't exactly all time classics worth getting the collection for.
Haunting: Had never heard of this one, but was suprisingly fun. Possess objects around the envoronment to scare away the house's residents. Gets old quickly, however.
Mutant League Football: What seems like a good take on american football, bit i literally have no idea what is going on, since it has no instructions other than it's (complex) controls. I think they missed that british players would probably need the basic rules explaining, nevermind their odd take on them
Road Rash 1-3: Ok motorbike racing games that only really offers nostalgic value to fans in the day, now pretty dated and samey.
Syndicate: A poor version of a great game. Smaller scale and worse controlling than it's PC counterpart, has the blood removed and lacks sufficiant instruction. I really wish EA included the PC version.
Ultima VIII: Again, a poor version of a good PC game. Scaled down, odd control and removal of blood and referances to death (which suggests it was a nintendo port). Could have been good if they actually used the real version for the compilation.
Virtual Pinball: A good pinball game with level creator, but to me, the appeal of a pinball game would rely more on being realistic, so i'd assume there are more visually appealing ones avalable.
Wing Commander/Secret Missions: Boring space flight simulator. Was probably impressive at the time, but now has little appeal.
Some people like it some don't, it's great to bring back memories but remember this games are although dated still fun to play. You want old gaming here it is, not good enough for you? Buy a ps4 or xbox1
