Great game!!! - Reviewed on 2007-06-03
This game has great graphics in most of its games, considering the time that it was made. Most graphics can pass as n64 material, a few even gamecube. Overall this game has good graphics. The best games on here are, Hydro Thunder, Rush 2049, Offroad Thunder, Bad Lands, and Super Offroad. STUN Runner sucks and so does Race Drivin. Rush the Rock is o.k. A bad thing about this game is it doesnt have interviews like the first two midway arcade tresures did and it doesnt have near as much games as the first two did and it is sad that all of the games have to be racing, dont get me wrong, I love racing games but I think this is an overdose and too much. I think that this game is worth 10 dollars. For more info on arcade/ compilaton games check ot my reviews on... Midway Arcade Treasures 1 and 2, Taito Legends 1, Capcom Classics Collection volume 2, Intellivision Lives and Atari Anthology. And soon to come reviews... Capcom Classics Collection volume 1, Taito Legends 2, Namco Museum 50th anniversery, Sega Classics Collection and/or Sega Genesis Collection.

It really has been a surprise about what makes a great racing video game. However, many classics haven't really stood out within the the test of these times. Nevertheles, classics have always found a great way of coming back into the mainstream. That has happened with compilations of games from Atari, Capcom, and recently Midway. With Midway's compilation of classic games from the 80's and 90's for the home consoles PS2, Gamecube and Xbox, they have really brought anybody who was never into the past of games like Mortal Kombat or Marble Madness a second chance. Now, it is in the racing extreme as well.
Midway Arcade Treasures 3 for the Playstation 2, is a fantastic racing compilation that detail several arcade classics that debut onto the console market. The games have been all restored beautifully, without much of a hinderence. The compilation includes so many great arcade and console greats like one of the very first 3-D racing games, Race Drivin', the fast and extremely furious San Francisco Rush: The Rock Alcatraz Edition, and its futuristic counterpart San Francisco Rush 2049, and classics like Off Road Thunder and Badlands. The control and manuverability is very easy to function and still has plenty of enjoyment in those gears.
Although many people for Playstation 2 that love racing games might pass this up in place of games like Gran Turismo 4, or Crash Bandicoot Tag Team racing games, Midway's Arcade Treasures 3 is a great buy for anybody who feels the desire of being a speed demon.
