First things, buy this, all the games on this, because the graphics are easily produced now that games have better graphics than this, can easily be reproduced to the arcade origanals, does anybody remember front line, you have a soldier and you used to turn a circle type button to turn his gun and you also had a grenade and after that you where up against tanks, some with machine guns and some that fired sugar lumps at you, well they looked like sugar lumps and you could have a tank if you found them some where along the way, wonderful, also space invaders, the origanal is there with the picture of a planet in the background and the same sound when you fire and when the aliens get killed, also if anyone is going to buy super bust a move or any of the bust a move games, don't bother the arcade origanal is on here, plus plenty of arcade games on here, I remember elevator actions and elevator actions returns, which I have never played is brillant, also pop n pop, when you have balloons and have to line them up, buy this, great games included, if only they could have put operation wolf from taito legends and included it in this instead, it would have been perfect.
They don't make 'em like they used to !! June 19, 2006
When I purchased this budget titled game, I wondered what I was letting my self in for. Luckily Taito Legends 2 turns out to be brilliant fun, with lots to get through. This compilation seems to cover a whole varity of games ranging from puzzle titles to shooters to beat-em-ups and sport. Anyone who likes puzzle games will love (Puzzle Bobble 2). For anyone who loved Bubble Bobble, Bubble Symphony will bring back that old-skool fun, and for great 2d shooters, Rayforce and Darius Gaiden are also on this fab collection. These titles mentioned above in my opinion make this complitation worth buying alone. Also included is an original version of Space Invaders and also a modern one with power-ups. This classic game is still fun to play even now!! Some titles like Crazy Balloon and Alpine Ski and quite terrible, and look like old Amiga titles, but these can easily be avoided. All the high scores are saved on every game, so you can play these titles over and over again to try and beat your high score. Also, most titles are able to have 2 players at the same time. So don't ignore this treasure of a game, and buy a copy now
 Brilliant Game May 6, 2006

This game is really fun and is worth buying for just two or three of these games alone. But you get nearly 40 games on this package, and although you'll probably stick to your favourites at first, you will be discovering real gems of games amongst the rest for weeks to come.
If you like 2D shoot-em-ups you will love this collection as Rayforce and Darius Gaiden are brilliant games, and theres plenty of puzzle games as well.
Overall i would recommend this game to anyone who is interested in fun games and who wants a bargain.
 Taito, I hate you! March 25, 2006

I've had the Xbox version of "Taito Legends 2" on pre-order since it was announced - for two reasons: "RayStorm" (quite possibly my favourite vertical scrolling shooter) and the sublime "G-Darius" (definitely my favourite ever horizontal scrolling shooter). Having owned both of these titles on the PSOne, I was looking forward to a beautiful reunion - hopefully with higher-resolution graphics, and less slow-down thanks to more powerful hardware. Yay!But now, as release day is nearly upon us, Taito announce that the exact two games I wanted this compilation for in the first place will be PS2 exclusives?! OK, the Xbox version has its own exclusives, but ... argh! And the Xbox version costs a fiver more than the PS2 version! Having 'exclusive' titles on different format versions of the same compilation is a HORRIBLE IDEA - especially when some of the 'exclusive' games are arguably the more desirable titles. Presumably the plan is that owners of multiple consoles will buy both versions. Curse you, Taito!
