PlayStation 2 Critic Reviews

Not only do you get some of the most stunningly playable titles from gaming history, with a simple and easy way to select them, but also a wide selection of bonus features with which to keep real retro fanatics' juices flowing.

Trips down memory lane have peaks and valleys, but this one is definitely worth taking. [Jan 2006, p.138]

For anyone with the inclination to be educated in how games used to consist of pure gameplay magic, or for those who wish to revisit their gaming pasts, Taito Legends is a superior collection of titles, some of which are truly classics in the absolute sense of the word.

This heartwarming gestalt is a lovely and joy-bringing piece of our history, and anybody who ever popped a shiny round coin in any one of these machines' welcoming slots owes themselves a copy, today.

If you want to play some great classic arcade games, this is your game.

If you were a fan of these games when they were first released then this collection is for you.

Many of the games in Taito Legends are still fun even if you’ve already mastered them over years ago. The presentation here really stands out too, so collectors should be pleased with the amount of time put into it.

There's plenty of good, plenty of bad and plenty of weird on Taito Legends. The games are reproduced well, too, if not precisely up to arcade perfection.

Taito Legends is a winner just based on value alone, but it also happens to contain a few truly milestone games (and some less memorable ones).

The lack of light gun support drags down Operation Wolf, but with games like Elevator Action and Bubble Bobble on board, Taito Legends offers good classic arcade action at a budget price.
