 Review - Taito Legends 2 // PS2 /// Eurogamer
Taito Legends 2 confirms both sides of the argument several times over, featuring a staggering 39 coin-operated hits spanning 18 years - some of which you'll be all-too familiar with, and others that will have escaped the attention of all but the most ardent MAME freak.
Space Invaders '91 is about as completist an addition as possible, offering little more than minor tweaks, while the DX version from a few years later at least offers the old-style versions along with the fairly pointless parody version that replaces the invaders with cutesy characters.
With so many of Taito's best titles already accounted for in the first set, it's to be expected that this second volume ends up feeling like a completist's collection of me-too titles with few stand out offerings to get worked up about.

 Review - Taito Legends Power-Up // PSP /// Eurogamer
As a special bonus, Taito has even gone to the effort of chucking in four 'deluxe' versions of certain games in the set.
But any Taito aficionado will be spitting chips over the hugely cynical decision to leave some of the very best games off - presumably for the inevitable volume two.
If you can overlook Taito's rather calculated and wholly predictable decision to pack out this collection with filler material, then there's a decent amount of quality retro gems to get your teeth into when you've got a few minutes to fill.
