Product ReviewsTaito Legends 2 PS2 (Sony PlayStation 2 PS2, 2007) CIB/COMPLETE

A great Title for retro gamers

A must-buy Title for all retro gamers. Taito was a major developer and publisher of lots of video game coin-ops as well as for consoles since the seventies. Even games that have simple graphics can be fun. Great graphics are not the most important factor . The most important would be player control. If games do not have good player control , then they become frustrating and they are no longer fun to play. Read full review...

Great collection of Taito arcade classics

A good value if you are into Taito's shmup shooters. If you have a PS2 this is MUCH easier and cheaper than trying to collect the very expensive Saturn versions of Darius Gaiden, Elevator Action Returns, Metal Black, Gekirindan, or the PS1 classic G-Darius, etc. There are still a whole bunch of games on here I haven't had time to try yet!Read full review...

For anyone looking to pick up a solid compilation of games, this is it!

Imagine my surprise when I put this CD-ROM in and found a completely different game. Over on the PlayStation side, I complained about the lack of presentation and goodies, but here we get 3D arcade cabinets and original sales fliers. The game count holds steady at 39, but it's actually a mix of the same stuff as the console version (titles such as Lunar Rescue, a simplistic 1979 spacecraft game that has you avoiding asteroids and aliens while transporting people from the moon to the mother ship, and Puchi Carat, a 1997 game that has you bouncing a ball back and forth Pong-style while destroying colored jewels) to brand new additions (games such as Bubble Symphony, where you capture enemies in bubbles and pop them for points, and Bend it like Mr. Posh Spice).
Bravo, Taito.
So, yeah, ,if you haven't picked up on it yet, Taito Legends 2 is a arcade compilation that packs some of the companies biggest hits onto one disc. What all is there? Well, I'm glad you asked …

The controls for this collection are tight, responsive and customizable. Don't want to use Z or space to cast magic spells in The Fairyland Story? Feel free to switch your magic to whatever keystroke you like and then fly off on your broom to crush any of those pig/wolf soldiers that try to get in your platforming way.
Although some of the earlier arcade games look like … well … early arcade games, the more recent titles provide solid graphics and engaging gameplay -- as long as you let them display in their original ratio and don't stretch them to fill your screen. Football Champ, a soccer title from 1990, packs seven international teams into a bright and colorful game of slide tackles, fouls and the mandatory team celebrations after each goal. Throw in a two-player co-op/competitive mode and you're set for a night of annoying your friends by screaming "GOOOOAAAAL!" over and over.
Football Champs isn't a rarity in Legends 2. Most of the games include a two-player mode whenever applicable so you and your favorite second player can beat the hell out of each other in the one-on-one brawler Violence Fight or team-up to take on evil poachers in the beat'em up Growl. Heck, have you always wanted to go head-to-head with a bud in Liquid Kids and see which of you can eat the most cake and get Hipopo to the finish line the quickest? You're prayers have been answered.
The MSRP for this when it was released was $9.99. And if you’re a game collector or just a game player, this one is a wonderful addition to your game library.
Thirty-nine games for $9.99 is nothing to scoff at, but the inclusion of a polished presentation including fliers and cabinets should make this one a no-brainier for anyone looking to pick up a solid compilation.Read full review...

Excellent Compilation of Classic Games

Taito had its fair share of memorable arcade games back in the day starting with Space Invaders. The emulation software is dead on and brings back wonderful memories of spending my childhood days at my local arcade.Read full review...
