Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle provides an impressive list of arcade classics that old-school fans will definitely love. Admittedly, some of the games haven't aged well, but stalwarts like Armored Warriors continue to be an absolute blast to play. It has one huge downside, however, as the game's netcode is horrible, making the games virtually unplayable online due to lag. It's a shame as the the game selection is great and work well offline. Just don't expect to have a decent multiplayer experience unless you can gather a bunch of people in your living room.
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.
If you're looking for a dose of nostalgia or love game collections like these, the Capcom Beat-Em-Up Bundle is a solid way to spend an afternoon.

The Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle offers seven good (if repetitive) games for a great price. There's zero excuse for a 30-year-old game having terrible online in 2018, which is a huge minus here. But for those who fancy a violent trip down memory lane, especially with local buddies to watch their back, The Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle still provides simple-minded mayhem for not a lot of coin. Besides, you probably spent more than that on those money-hungry arcade cabs anyway.
Technically clean retro collection with blunt beat'em-up classics that flourish in co-op with friends.

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.

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.

A compilation that will appeal to die-hard fans mainly. Others might fancy a dabble but will soon be put off be the repetition and lack of challenge before moving on to something else.
