Capcom Generation 2 is the "Chronicles of Arthur" or the collection of the Ghosts N' Goblins or Ghouls N' Ghosts games. If you know anything about these games, they are extremely hard and that's about the gist of their value. They are platforming action-adventures that offer mild enjoyment for a while. I don't really get the point of the Capcom Generation series, especially considering they all came out in 1998. The company had produced so many great games by then that they could have condensed the 5 disks into one big collection and offered more variety.
The problem with making a collection out of this series is that they barely changed directions between installments. All 3 of these games feel like the SAME game. It's not like a Mario Bros. or a Sonic the Hedgehog where each game in the series is different enough to feel like a new and meaningful experience.
THE GOOD -At least it's better than the first one. While I don't think Ghouls n' Ghosts/Ghosts 'n Goblins games are that great, they are at least not as boring as the vertical-scrolling shooters from Capcom Generation 1.
THE BAD -There's really nothing here. You would be better off getting these games off of the Wii Virtual console or something like that. I give Capcom Generation 2 a 1.5 out of 10 CAPCOM FANDOM PURPOSES ONLY
