World Heroes Anthology *PS2 *£19.99

10:01am Thursday 20th November 2008

Another one of gaming history’s most famous franchises is bundled up into this bumper collection, pulling together the 2D fighting classics of World Heroes, World Heroes 2, World Heroes 2 Jet and World Heroes Perfect. Battling through history in a tournament facilitated by a time machine, many of the games’ dozens of characters are based on actual historical figures, providing an interesting twist to the combat. Aside from that, though, it’s pretty much what you’d expect from a now aging fighting series - slightly dodgy graphics, limited special techniques and strange English translations. Big fans of World Heroes will enjoy the trip down memory lane, but everyone else should probably pass.
