How to make fun games not fun

Review by C. Fraley, 2010-03-22

I'm an arcade/retro fan, and bought this title based on the arcade content. Unfortunately, the games themselves are very difficult to get to, and almost all of them must be unlocked by playing the games in a particular order and getting a good enough score on each (which is not terribly difficult, just tedious). Unfortunately, even after unlocking, there's no quick and easy way to launch the specific games one might be interested in, and you have to put up with annoying background dialog to boot. Not worth spending money on.

Arcade Zone

Review by Barbara Ervin, 2010-02-09

For those of you who like the 'old-fashiioned' arcade games this is the one! I bought it for Kaboom which I really loved on my old Atari system and have really missed since I can no longer use the Atari console. Sadly, Kaboom is 'locked' and I have yet to get to it! Guess I'll just have to keep trying.

Better as a group game

Review by Rei, 2010-02-07

I love the arcade so I thought this game would be lots of fun. IN the end, it wasn't too hard to beat some of the high scores (I am NOT a major gamer) and it was nearly impossible to beat some of the other high scores. Also, the 'host' of each section of arcade games (they are grouped into themes) is sorta funny when you first hear them speak, but then they say the same things repetitively and quickly become obnoxious. I think this game is just OK when playing it on your own, but can be much more fun when playing it with friends/family.

Great Voice Acting, So-So Game

Review by Valerie Palmer, 2009-12-26

First thing I hear when I enter the Arcade Zone is a very familiar voice. If you're familiar with the 3rd season of the anime "Digimon", you'll recognize Todd's voice. Yes, that is Brian Beacock, better known as Takato. And 2 other Viz/Saban/Studiopolis VAs make it to this game, Kate Higgins (better known as Sakura on "Naruto") and Liam O'Brian (Gaara on the previously mentioned show).

The game is all right, some of the games are difficult. I guess the one thing that is keeping me from selling this at Gamestop is Takato.
