Product ReviewsMidway Arcade Treasures 3 (Microsoft Xbox, 2005)

Good for Old-School Racing Fans - but only 8 games...

Did you love playing racing games in the arcade ten years ago? Well, don't expect the exact same experience from this compilation unless you have a "car cabinet" to fit your system inside. You also are going to need a steering wheel controller if you want to get any real enjoyment out of this. It just isn't the same with a regular controller in your hands, though this game does feature some of my favorite racers from back in the day.

Don't expect great control because these games were meant to be played in the arcade with a steering wheel or handlebars. But, if you can get it for cheap, this can be both a nice trip down memory lane and a nice game for younger players.

Pros: Mostly arcade-perfect emulation, especially if you have a steering wheel instead of the standard controller. Ranges from simple to complex play depending on different levels and games. Something for everyone who is a racing fan, especially those of us who played these games avidly in the arcades. Can be found for $10 or less, including shipping.

Cons: Very limited number of different games (only 8!) when compared to Midway Arcade Treasures 1 (24 games) and 2 (20 games). No non-racing games - if you don't like racing, this isn't for you. Less bonus content than the other Arcade Treasures collections. Less replay value as there are so few games, and you probably won't like several, even if you are a racing fan. Older games (from the late 80s) tend to be sped up slightly due to the superior hardware of the console.Read full review...

Love the vintage games...

better than the original arcade machines!

I bought this to relive some of the great games in the package and they did not just emulate the original game. At least for the Rush games, they sped up the framerate and the game has sharper graphics. If anyone remembers the original arcade machines, these Rush games had poor framerate but now it's buttery smooth! The older Atari games didn't fare so well. Stun Runner was choppier than the arcade version. Race Drivin' was smoother than the arcade and the control is better with the thumbstick, but it was never a great game to begin with. The Offroad games are terrible compared to the arcade versions. The control is just plain bad.Read full review...

Great classic arcade racing games.

Some real classics from the arcades in this collection. Hydro thunder and San fran rush make this worth it just for those two.

midway's rush is a classic

i bought this game because of the two rush racing games. i think they are a classic game and a milestone in racing games of their time. the two rush games featured on this disc are just like playing in the arcades.Read full review...

idway Arcade Treasures 3 (Xbox)

this is a great game really, the game play is great on super off road and hydro thunder as well as.
the rest of the game like race drive`in and bad lands are poor and not close to the arcade version on the game
honestly only buy it if you really loved the games on it and you will mostly play super off road it seems to be the best one of all the gamesRead full review...
