Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle Reviews
Still it is impossible not to recommend Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle. There is so much joy packed in this compilation. The genre has definitely seen a resurgence as of late, but it is impossible to deny how good these classics are. If only Capcom had been able to figure out the licenses behind some of their more popular titles like Alien vs. Predator. Perhaps in the future, but for now this is the best place to perform jump kicks anywhere.
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.

Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle is another successful entry in Capcom's recent efforts to bring more retro games back into the fold. It's a solid experience whether you're looking to relive the glory days of the arcade, or discover the types of games that cost your gaming predecessors all their coveted quarters. With seven different arcade brawlers in the game, there's plenty to love if you're just looking for a relaxing night of solo games. But bring a few friends into the fold, and you've got the makings of a solid game night.
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.
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 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.

While Capcom Beat'Em Up Bundle does have some online multiplayer issues it's still a ton of fun overall. These are some great games for fans of retro games or the beat'em up genre and it will probably cost you less to purchase the whole collection would cost to beat using quarters in an arcade, and you still own them after you beat them, so that's a plus as well. Here's to hoping they're saving some of the titles missing from this collection for volume two.
Capcom at its finest: a bunch of interesting and still largely enjoyable beat'em up.

It's tempting to gorge on this collection of seven distinctive arcade games as an all-you-can-eat brawler buffet, but the genre's innate repetitiveness means it's most enjoyable to feast on one quality Capcom coin-op at a time. The Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a delightful history lesson in the technical pixel-artistry of CPS brawler design, starting in 1989 with Final Fight as a genuine classic, and then continuing through the 1990s with fondly remembered street fisticuff games and hack-and-slash fantasy titles. Over twenty years later, Capcom's style and craftsmanship showcased in the coin-ops previously unavailable on console -- Armored Warriors and Battle Circuit -- justifies a purchase of the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle in its own right.
A collection of seven great titles that appeals to both old school gamers and newcomers.

It can be hard sometimes to make collections for retro games feel exciting, especially if those games have been released numerous times before. Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle bucks that trend not only by having games that are still enjoyable to this day, but also by including two titles that are finally being released on consoles for the first time. A few issues mars the overall package, but not enough to put a major damper on its offerings.
Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a collection that will bring back memories of the beat 'em up genre to an old audience and will show more of this genre to younger generations of players. While the games are portrayed in a faithful way and the local multiplayer works very well, there are some issues to solve with the online multiplayer and the options regarding the visuals and the sound feel somewhat limited. All flaws notwithstanding, Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a marvel of a collection which can be enjoyed by everyone.
