Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle Reviews
Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle is a great game for both people with nostalgia and those who want to play a decent beat ’em up. For the price, you won’t find a collection of classic arcade beat ’em ups which are as true to the original source material as you do here. Capcom have chosen a great selection which is sure to excite and entertain everyone, both old and young.
Capcom really phoned it in this time. The emulators used are extremely accurate and the games play as good as ever, but with missing bonus features, it's hard to call this one of their best anthologies.
The Capcom Beat `Em Up Bundle is a well-made travel back in time to the glory days of the arcade, which delivers a lot of fun and is a perfect match to invite some friends for pure bare-knuckle action. Even if it suffers a lack of content beside the games the collection with its low price tag gets a recommendation for fans of uncomplicated action.

The games in the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle may be short, shallow and repetitive by nature, but these arcade classics are an important slice of gaming history and still make for a perfect high score wager between friends. In any case, for £17.99, it is an affordable catch up for those that are either interested in the history of the beat ’em up genre or fancy an interactive trip down memory lane.
Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle is a lovely collection that offers seven favorites for a discounted price-tag.
If you're a retro arcade fan then picking up a copy of Capcom Beat 'em Up Bundle is a must.
For all its issues though, the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle still impresses. Whether you've played any of the games it contains before or not, you're likely to find at least a couple that grab you and make the collection worthwhile.
Playing online is fun at times, but the constant presence of lag knocks that feature down a peg. And while the seven brawlers featured in this bundle are top-notch, the ones that are missing are too hard to ignore. Even still, the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a pleasant romp through a museum full of the best coin munchers ever produced.
Another problem with the online play is that if the host of the game leaves, everyone else is booted from the game. If you don't really care for brawlers, the games in this collection aren't going to change your mind. That said, there is a lot of value in the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle, and I highly recommend it to fans of the genre or those who love couch co-op games.
As a fan of the Beat Em' Up genre, this collection strikes the proper balance with each game providing its own unique experience. There is a lack of bonus material and the online multiplayer is a little spotty, but the support for couch co-op is great.
Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle is more interesting to those who appreciate classic games. However, if you didn't play these games in the 90's, you won't pay attention to them in 2018. There are many connection problems, generic story and the lack of add-ons than could push the young players away.

If there's one takeaway to be had from the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle, it's that genre-themed compilations aren't the best way to repackage these classic titles.
Fans of the genre and those new to it should definitely consider giving it a download, particularly for the games that are appearing on home console for the first time.
This collection of arcade favorites is a must play for historians and beat em up veterans. For everyone else, the completely busted online play and lackluster extras may be a roadblock.
Capcom Beat 'em Up Bundle is a respectable collection of fighters, though the seven titles offered seems rather skimpy compared to previous Capcom collections that contained around twenty titles.
Overall, Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle isn't perfect but it hits the right spots.
If you have fond memories of the arcade originals, you've probably already bought the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle. If you haven't, then you most definitely should. For the money, Capcom Beat 'Em Bundle offers a nice little slice of arcade history in seven games, two of which you can play on console for the first time. What's not to like?
Although the seven games on offer are good examples of the fun, but shallow genre, it's hard to shake the feeling that with a bit more attention – the kind Mega Man and Street Fighter received – this could have been another must have retro collection.
Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a celebration of cult classics and a tribute to a beloved genre that was never forgotten: for 19.99' you can bring yourself home a piece of history that still deserves to be discovered and played, one continue after another. In other words, don't miss this hymn to pure arcade fun.

If you're not a fan of the genre then you may well be wondering what all the fuss is about, but for everyone else, this is a must-have download.
