CCG writes – “The Irem Collection Volume 2 is a collection of classic run and gun and shoot ’em ups that are fun, if obnoxiously difficult, and largely stand the test of time graphically and otherwise. If you are a huge shoot ’em up fan, perhaps this collection is worth getting, but it’s not exactly inexpensive, either. I will say that I like this collection a bit more than the previous one, even if that has more ports and versions than this does. Even still, it’s a collection on what is functionally three games, so if the price is good really depends on how much you enjoy them. I feel these games did age really well, especially in comparison to the previous Irem Collection. This collection is fun for hardcore shoot ’em up fans, and can be a good introduction to run and gun or vertical shoot ’em ups, as long as new players are fine with lots of deaths and abusing the many cheats available since this collection of games pulls no punches on challenge.”
