3.0 out of 5 stars Unless you played these way back when..., April 4, 2008

I really love this collection. But I can view it from the perspective of when these games were top of the line products in the arcade (unfortunately has closed down by now) a block from my home. If you don't have found memories, I don't know how you could like this game since today's products clearly beat out these old "masterpieces." I remember not having enough quarters and wanting to play World Heroes 1 death match mode one more time. I remember all the characters... I'm obviously biased and this is my favorite collection. Round One FIGHT!!!!

This review is from: World Heroes Anthology (Video Game)

I was one of those oddballs who gleefully walked past the Street Fighter machines, in search of the bright red NeoGeo cabinets, back in my arcade days.

On pure hope, I picked this up for my PS3 (I don't have a PS2), and as luck would have it, the game runs exactly as I had hoped.

As far as the games go... well... you'd have to have a special place in your heart for World Heroes to really enjoy this disc. The graphics are crude (though arcade faithful, right up to the Neo Geo boot screens!), and although you can access a menu that shows every character's special moves, they're probably going to be a bit confusing to anyone who didn't play this in the arcade.

That all said, if you ever enjoyed even one of the World Heroes games, buying this anthology will be money well spent.

This is a great collection for any fighting game fan out there to own.
After playing a couple of the original gamse (World Heroes and World Heroes 2) when they were originally released, it's nice to have the entire series on one disk.
