Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits

"15 games for 30 bucks is a pretty good deal when you consider that Konami's forcing a few of these titles on Xbox Live gamers for five bucks a pop. None of these games have a tremendous amount of depth, but the developers did a great job bulking up the presentation with lots of customization, extras, and wireless modes. More games would obviously have been better, but it's clear that Konami drew the line somewhere in preparation for a possible Konami Classics Series Arcade Hits 2; I mean, we don't have Frogger, Gyruss, Blades of Steel, Double Dribble, and countless other Konami classics. But for a first outing on the Nintendo DS, Konami's team pulled off a really good collection."

"You won't enjoy every single one of the 15 games included, but Konami Classics has just enough good stuff to make it worthwhile."

"While the big name classics are still the best games on the compilation, it's refreshing to have some games that I haven't played to death already."
