Sweet, December 6, 2006
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
The second installment in Midway's Arcade Treasures series is undoubtadly the best; featuring many games that are still a blast to play, not to mention many games that I myself grew up with and remember quite fondly. Here, we get Mortal Kombat 2 and 3, NARC, Pit Fighter, Rampage World Tour, Total Carnage, Primal Rage, Arch Rivals, and plenty more. It's to be noted now that Mortal Kombat 2 is much harder than I remember it being, but it still looks and plays great, as does 3. NARC is still a smash to play, as is Pit Fighter and the aforementioned games. Cyberball 2072, Xenophobe, and Spy Hunter 2 are solid enough as well, but there are a few duds here as well scattered throughout the gems. Gauntlet 2 (though I was never that much of a fan of Gauntlet to begin with), APB, Championship Sprint, and Hard Drivin' aren't anything to write home about, but the good outweighs the bad here. However, where's the original Mortal Kombat? Or how about Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3? Or Area 51, Maximum Force, or any other light gun shooter for that matter (and there were quite a few), but none of them are here, or on any other Midway compilation for that matter. Oh well, at least we get some of Midway's best games here with this collection. All in all, Midway Arcade Treasures 2 is one of the best retro compilations on the market, and while it does feature some duds, there are some gems thrown in to boot.

It's Ok, MK 1 Is Still Coming, September 17, 2004
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
What psyched me most about this release was an arcade perfect version of Mortal Kombat 1. ANd yes it has been Taken Out. But don't lose hope. Mortal Kombat Deception Will soon come out and the Kollectors Edition has a bonus disc w/ an arcade exact edition of MK1. The Midway Arcade Treasures 2 release will still rock b/c for 1, it's only $20. For 2, it still has MK2, MK3, Primal Rage, Spy hunter 2, NARC, and a list of other great titles, which will be closer, if not exact to the original arcade release, than any console release before it. Certain Naysayers will hate on this game for no other reason than to complain. for $20, It's an incredible package. i suggest it to anyone who can appreciate great arcade mayhem, or who was alive and playing during the great arcade renaissance of the early nineties. The nostalgic value of this title alone should make it a platinum release. My only Complaint is that they've taken so long to release it. Midway is doing a great job and have done extremely well as pioneers in the field of "totally freakin awesome videogames". buy it, love it, and tell everybody else to buy an atari.
