My take on this collection and the X Challenge it offers is more or less the same as the first volume. This is the same packaging, with the same types of extras, but with different games, so most of what I said still goes.

The upside is that this volume doesn't actually have the input lag present in the first one, as there are no SNES games here. In fact, on the PS4, all four games ran pretty smoothly. The downside is that the titles in this volume are all hot garbage, and you should probably not bother anyway, no matter how crisp they run.

No, really, I had only played up until X5 many years ago, thought it was bad and stopped caring about the franchise. Hoo boy. It got worse. It got way worse. I was a happier person when I didn't know the extent of what had happened to one of my favorite childhood franchises.

Capcom split the collection in two for our own good, so do yourself a favor and stick to Volume 1.
