"I won&s;t be unfair here: having all these versions of GunForce available to try is interesting, but wouldn&s;t it be better to only keep the arcade versions (play only those and just test the others out of curiosity, trust me) …"

"Irem Collection Volume 2 is interesting for bringing titles that would serve as inspiration for Metal Slug and that are excellent jewels by themselves, all of them with great emulation. It&s;s a shame that the production context isn&s;t presented to …"

"This second IREM collection is solid, with three great games that are fun and challenging. Players old and new will definitely find something to like here, exactly like the previous volume. I hope these collections continue as IREM has a …"

"Really, I’m at least glad this set had more time in the oven to not be a total disaster like the first volume, and I can even say this is a decent little collection of games if you like shooting …"

"Calling this Irem Collection Volume 2 feels a bit misrepresentative considering 99% of games in this collection are different versions of Gunforce and its sequel. If you’re a fan of classic Contra/Probotector-like games, then this collection is a must play. …"
