Professional reviews from gaming critics
Dino Rex and Solitary Fighter aren't exactly high points, and considering they're two of three exclusives, much of the appeal of this collection depends on how many titles you may already own, and how much you want Darius II. That said, for those who are yet to dabble in Hamster's series, it's a superb slice of Taito arcade gaming that outdoes its predecessor in terms of quality and appeal, and comes through with solid emulation. There are hundreds of hours of fun to be had here with some of Taito's most deservedly celebrated works.
Though arcades are still a thing now, I don't know if they hold quite the same appeal as they did when I was growing up. Back when computers had limited
There is nothing more annoying than someone demanding that you list any number of pieces of art created by an artist or group. Most people could probably name three Beatles songs off the top of their heads with zero hesitation, but there are plenty who can’t, and that’s perfectly fine. You can listen to “Yesterday” and just enjoy it without needing to defend your tastes by naming which album it’s from, and eight other tracks on said album. Additionally, this is super annoying becaus...
It's been over a year and we finally have a follow-up to a nifty arcade collection so here's the delightful Taito Milestones 2.
A mixed bag but worth buying just for Metal Black, New Zealand Story and Liquids Kids. It's a shame the rest of the compilation has been padded out with obscure titles such as Dinorex and Ben Bero Beh when TAITO have so many classic titles such as Operation Wold, Chase HQ and Mr Do! Perhaps we'll see them in Taito Milestones 3.
Should you possess a particular affinity for Taito’s arcade past and the shooters, platformers, and fighters from their heyday, then a second Milestones collection is probably right up your alley. The online leaderboards offered by the Arcade Archives versions here add to the replay value, but it’s again a little disappointing to see a noticeable lack of bonus features, extra content, or presentation elements. The two Taito Milestones compilations are fairly barebones compared to some of the offerings from Capcom and Konami, but I can still appreciate having the opportunity to revisit–or…
I'd never played any of the games in Taito Milestones 2, or at least I don't recall playing them. How many would become new retro favorites? Not a lot, it ends up, but there certainly are some pleasant surprises.Read More
So with all of that, this score is not reflective of the quality of the games (overall). I’ll never get sick of NewZealand Story. Most of the other titles are interesting as a curio, too. The quality of the ports for all of these titles great thanks to Hamster’s technology. However, as a package, this is a woeful excuse for a compilation, and that’s particularly surprising given that it came from the same publisher that gave us the Space Invaders Invincible Collection. That was one of the very best retro collections on the Switch. One I play almost weekly to date. “Disappointing”…
