The editors didn't like

  • Limitations on resume points
  • Limited nostalgia factor
  • Disappointing selection of 20 preinstalled games

  • The PlayStation Classic is a serviceable retro console with 20 mid-90s games, but many of them don't hold up as well as you might have hoped, while other, better ones are conspicuously absent...

  • Two controllers in every box, Some interesting game choices, Built-in memory cards
  • Some games didn't age well, Limitations on resume points, Limited nostalgia factor
  • Because it doesn't rely on the best-remembered games from the '90s, the PlayStation Classic isn't quite everything we hoped it'd be. That said, what we feel it lacks in software is made up, in part, by its lovingly crafted hardware...

  • Abstract:  Players have become fairly accustomed to modern-day remakes of classic games. From re-releases to complete remasters, banking on nostalgia has become quite popular. We've seen numerous franchises reinvigorated by remakes that pay excellent homage to the c...

  • Console and controller look and feel nice, Some great classic titles
  • Lackluster and inconsistent emulation quality, PAL titles play terribly, Controller doesn't include DualShock, No AC adapter
  • The PlayStation Classic has a few great titles, but for the most part it betrays the memory of the original console with inconsistent emulation and a baffling inclusion of PAL games.How would you rate the PlayStation Classic?We want to hear what you think...

  • Adorable design, Great build quality, Comes with two controllers
  • No software options, Limited save states, Poor game roster, Controllers aren't DualShock, Just 720p resolution
  • The PlayStation Classic seemed like it was destined to be an easy sell — another retro console that'd end up being unattainable through the holiday season. Perhaps it'll still be hard to get. But even if it is, it won't be because it's good.Sony's first s...

  • The PlayStation Classic feels more like a halfhearted acknowledgement than a top-shelf tribute to Sony's era-defining console. The list of 20 games seems to miss more of the system's greatest hits than it manages to include. Furthermore, the progress of t...

  • Faithful physical design, Some genuinely excellent classic games, Comes with two gamepads
  • Bottom Line, A strange selection of games and muddy upscaling keep the PlayStation Classic mini retro game system from doing Sony's first console justice

  • Abstract:  Even though I know all these retro consoles are largely an effort turn my nostalgia into big-time corporate profits, theyre damn hard to resist. Theres just something about gray plastic and the old school boot up sound that hits a deep part of my brain...
