Being from the old school I still have a soft spot for the classics. If you feel the same, then you will not be disappointed here. Total carnage, Narc, Mortal Kombat 2 and 3, spy hunter 2, gauntlet 2, and rampage world tour make this a must for anyone who has ever spent time in an arcade in the ninetys. From killing drug dealers in Narc, to all out fighting in mortal kombat, to all out destruction in rampage you are really getting a lot for your money here. You also have some filler material in here which isnt the greatest but some isnt all that bad either. Hands down though, I would recomend this to anyone 25 and over. And you youngsters out there owe it to yourself as well to check out what I would consider a sample of the golden age of arcade games. This will work in a ps3 also but BEWARE OF MIDWAY 3 WHICH WILL NOT PLAY in a ps3.

This is The Best Compilation Arcade game ever!!!!

This game has pretty good graphics and a good amount of games and variety on one disc. I like, Total Carnage, MK 2,3, Gauntlet 2, Cyberball 2072, Pit Fighter, Arch Rivals, Xybots, Championship Sprint, Primal Rage and Rampage World Tour. But games like Wacko, Hard Drivin, Xenophobe, Kozmik Kroozer, APB and Spy Hunter 2 arent worth your time. This game also includes interviews about the games on here which I think are cool and interesting. I would Pay 20$ for this game. If your seeking more compilation games, see my reviews on the following games, Midway arcade Treasures 1 and 3, Atari Anthology, Intellivision Lives, Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2, and Taito Legends 1. Also coming soon is... Namco Museum 50th anniversary, Taito Legends 2, Capcom Classics Collection Volume 1 and Sega Classics Collection and/or Sega Genesis Collection.

The second installment in Midway's Arcade Treasures series is undoubtadly the best; featuring many games that are still a blast to play, not to mention many games that I myself grew up with and remember quite fondly. Here, we get Mortal Kombat 2 and 3, NARC, Pit Fighter, Rampage World Tour, Total Carnage, Primal Rage, Arch Rivals, and plenty more. It's to be noted now that Mortal Kombat 2 is much harder than I remember it being, but it still looks and plays great, as does 3. NARC is still a smash to play, as is Pit Fighter and the aforementioned games. Cyberball 2072, Xenophobe, and Spy Hunter 2 are solid enough as well, but there are a few duds here as well scattered throughout the gems. Gauntlet 2 (though I was never that much of a fan of Gauntlet to begin with), APB, Championship Sprint, and Hard Drivin' aren't anything to write home about, but the good outweighs the bad here. However, where's the original Mortal Kombat? Or how about Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3? Or Area 51, Maximum Force, or any other light gun shooter for that matter (and there were quite a few), but none of them are here, or on any other Midway compilation for that matter. Oh well, at least we get some of Midway's best games here with this collection. All in all, Midway Arcade Treasures 2 is one of the best retro compilations on the market, and while it does feature some duds, there are some gems thrown in to boot.

If you want this for Mortal Kombat II or III, think again.

If you want this title for Mortal Kombat II or MKIII, think again. Upon receiving this game, I was immensely excited with my anticipation of being reunited with the classic Mortal Kombat II. The game looks great. The controls are there. But the one huge turn-off is that this game is so unplayable in 1-player mode. The CPU opponent is so ridiculously cheap and difficult that you are lucky if you can even get passed the 3rd fighter. I used to beat the old arcade and SNES versions of MKII, but cannot barely pass the 3rd or 4th opponent.

If you want to play against other people then the game is great. But if you plan on just enjoying the game for yourself and want to play the CPU? Good luck. Because you will need a ton of it.

Once again, Midway brings back fond memories

The second round of arcade classics is in for the PS2 and Midway comes through again. Gone are the interviews and histories of the games which is mildly disappointing, but it's made up for with more classic games being brought back on a single disc.

Fair warning for parents who might be buying this game for their children. While the violence and gore present in the games is somewhat tame by today's standards (Except for the Mortal Kombat games), it is still present. Rent it first and make sure it's not overly gory for your children if you aren't 100% sure. Otherwise, it's another good addition to your collection.

I loved playing arcade games I've never played before, like Primal Rage, APD, and ALOT more. Plus, it has the arcade-perfect version of MK2 and MK3!!!!! Even though MK2 is hard, and you only have 3 seconds to do the fatalities, it's still very fun to play. MK3 is really easy, and better than the SNES version because you have infinite lives, and the sound is awesome. If you like arcade games (and MK), be sure the buy this cool product.

Enjoy Mortal Kombat 2 and 3 !!!

I've bought this game, because I'm a Mortal Kombat-fan. Midway Arcade Treasures 2 has Mortal Kombat 2 and 3 and I enjoy these games. Other games are not interesting I only play Mortal Kombat 2 and 3 on MAT2. Also the graphics are very good. And both MK-games run very quickly. Buy it !!! Only in Mortal Kombat 2: If you want to know Kitana's "kiss of death"-fatality; press and hold LK (low kick) then type forward twice, down, forward and release LK.
