Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle Reviews
An interesting peek into the beat 'em up history and a great way to pass an evening with friends.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
