Game collections disks on the 360 can be split into 2 categories, those which bundle in games from older consoles and those which bundle arcade games which were released on the console. This is Capcom's attempt at bundling some of their arcade releases onto a physical disk. This all seems well and good, as you probably end up saving a bit of money from buying the games digitally, and some people like to have physical disks. The issues with these games seem to really outweigh the advantages. For a start, it's unlikely that you will enjoy all the games on the disk. This collection includes 7 Capcom games, with big hitters such as street fighter and puzzle fighter, along with very obscure titles such as flock and rocketman. It's unlikely that you will enjoy all of these games, in fact for me I was only really into final fight. This is especially the case when rocketman is absolutely horrible. Secondly, these games aren't particularly classics and don't really have any history. This means that there are no unlocks, no bonuses and no benefit of owning these games in this collection format. Finally, and probably worst of all, if you want to swap between games you need to go back to the dashboard and load up the game again. Aside from owning these games when they are delisted, there is really no point to this disk. Yet, with 7 fairly decent games on the disk, I shouldn't be too harsh.

The ideal way to play these games. They are all likely to be delisted in the future, so this disc will no doubt skyrocket in price. Grab it while you can.
