From my perspective, the appeal wore off quickly. My daughter, on the other hand, genuinely enjoyed playing and wanted to continue. While Care Bears: Unlock the Magic may not offer much for seasoned gamers, it seems to hold some charm for younger players.
Without any nostalgic connection to these original titles, this collection doesn’t strike a chord for me. Unless you’re a die-hard Accolade fan with fond memories of these games, I’d recommend giving it a pass.
Not every game from the past is destined to age gracefully, and Glover is one of those titles best left to the history books.
Golden Axe II isn’t a bad game, but it just feels a bit like more of the same.
From my point of view, £32.99 for a year’s subscription is great value, and I shall be dipping in and out of Antstream over the next 12 months for that warm retro hit of nostalgia.
One of the main criticisms I have of this particular collection are the lack of games included. With only 3 games to choose (and one of them is a sequel) your options are limited.
The combat feels good, but as is the case with this genre, don’t expect much variety or longevity.
Despite the series’ popularity, few video games have followed the adventures of Mr Miyagi and Daniel LaRusso. The Karate Kid: Street Rumble attempts to change this fact by combining the first three movies into one game.
The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is an important set of games, and love them or loathe them, they are now available for everyone to experience on modern consoles.
I enjoy side-scrolling beat-‘em ups, and I don’t expect deep gameplay, but there are lots of things wrong with Wrath of the Mutants that make it hard to enjoy.
