Video Game Reviews of Midway Arcade Treasures
Customer Review: GameCube Version
Summary: 5 Stars
Interesting what others are commenting about in the XBox and PS2 versions. One would think if a publisher ports something to all 3 platforms, they would work nearly identical. My rating is for the GameCube version only.
To review this set, it would heavily depend upon what games the user is familiar with and will actually play. For example, one reviewer was complaining about some old civil war strategy game, which I have absolutely no idea how to control. Another reviewed an arcade game which originally used a trackball or steering wheel. I tried that one out and it seems to work fine, and I can shoot the other cars diagonally in the other lane unlike what he mentioned.
Overall, all the games here seem to work fine. Good graphics, sound, and speed. No crashing or freezing up. All games seem to run their original playable arcade speed. Loading times are very short.
I bought this set mainly for the Defender games, Gauntlet, and Rampage. To comment, they all look and act exactly like the original arcade versions. Comparable to the PC MAME version. Now you can use the controller instead of the PC keyboard.
One should note that the translation is not 100% accurate from the arcade. For instance, you get muffled voice here and there once in awhile. Even that problem is present in the MAME version, which is the best emulation out there. Put into consideration that an arcade cabinet can have more power than an Intel Pentium 10GHz+. The hardware is so different. Replicating that on some cheap console, it is hard not to appreciate this Cube version.
