"Taito Milestones may simply contain 10 classic arcade titles and nothing else but some of these games offer timeless enjoyable challenges that you can spend hours trying to master. I just wish there was some kind of bonus content to …"

"Some of these are known classics, others are less resounding works. While the emulation is good enough to present a good, flawless experience comparable to the originals, there are several elements here that deserved better, namely the interface and additional …"

"ININ has done a fine job bringing these classics together. Even if the complete package offers nothing new outside of a game selection screen, these are all still pretty fun games."

"Considering that even Konami’s collection had an exclusive interview section in it, Taito Milestones feels incredibly barren as can be: hopefully future volumes add some more bonuses such as key art and the such."

"TAITO Milestones presents us with 10 classic Taito titles released for Arcade in the 80s. The selection is debatable but not bad for that, and the compilation&s;s extras are conspicuous by their absence -beyond the configuration options of each game, …"

"Taito Milestones for me is an awesome collection of Taito arcade titles that showcase more of the company’s early work rather than their best. It’s a collection that will certainly turn the heads of the retro gamers that are looking …"

"There&s;s no doubting that Taito&s;s back catalogue of 1980s arcade titles still mostly hold up in Milestones. And if you haven&s;t yet delved into the company&s;s varied, genre-hopping history, than there&s;s an argument for Taito Milestones being a sufficient if …"

"TAITO Milestones is a nice collection of arcade games from the 1980s but one that most likely won’t be to everyone’s tastes. Many of these games can be quite ugly and may not hold your attention for long. It is …"

"TAITO Milestones is a no-frills package of ten &s;80s-era arcade games, most of which are available separately in the Nintendo eShop. If you don&s;t already own the ones you want, it&s;s a decent collection with some obscure gems that may …"

"Taito Milestones is a reminder that Taito has released more than just Space Invaders and Breakout clones. Sadly, it is also a reminder as to why none of the games included in this collection are fondly remembered."
