"Apesar de estarem aqui três jogos e não quatro, este Darius Cozmic Collection Arcade representa um marco na história dos shoot’em-ups, marcado pela evolução em todos os campos de uma série amada pelos fãs e aqui devidamente homenageada pela excelência da equipa M2 no que à emulação diz respeito. Lamenta-se que esta coleção não inclua G-Darius ou que não disponha de extras colecionáveis mas tudo o resto, como a jogabilidade, banda sonora e apresentação visual contribuem para fazer desta uma coletânea vivamente recomendada para qualquer jogador que tenha gosto por ação à maneira dos shoot'em-ups das salas arcade."

A decent collection of games which include the first three Darius titles and every revision, with fantastic emulation too. Even includes bonus features that integrate themselves into the game. There are problems though. On controllers, there's some input lag (around 3 frames, or about 50ms). The typical casual player won't really see it, but more experienced ones will. It is a bit better on a keyboard though. My other complaint, which is more problematic, is the pricing. Considering that there's only three games in this package (with some revisions), and that Darius II is a game I really don't like, $40 is very steep. If you want to get this collection, I'd say wait for a sale.
