EA Replay is.... Honestly a really weird collection. For what it wants to do it does a very solid job, a heap of SNES and MegaDrive titles packaged in a rather barebones manner and for titles like B.O.B., Desert and Jungle Strike and Polterguy... Thats fine.
But the rest of the games? No. Road Rash plays properly but all the music has been ripped out and replace and it all just feels wrong... As for the rest? Either the games were never good to begin with (Hi Budokan) or they are games where you're honestly better off scouring GOG or Origin for the proper PC versions (Syndicate, Ultima, Wing Commander). It all leads to a collection that 'technically' does its job but you're constantly left with a feeling that you could be doing so much better by playing the proper versions of each game.
