    While M2’s emulation work is spectacular as always, the Darius Cozmic Collection suffers from a failure of imagination. It envisions the history of this eclectic, evocative franchise as a commodity to be fastidiously repackaged and sold as’ content’ rather than taking the opportunity to explore and appreciate one of the strangest sagas in gaming. It’s a frustratingly narrow view that leaves the Darius story untold, and Taito has ensured that these collections will blend in with countless others on a shelf, struggling to be found in the crowded marketplace.

    A couple of omissions grate and it's hardly cheap, but this is a sumptuous collection for the grandest of shmups. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    The only issue with Darius Cozmic Collection is the price and its unusual means of delivery. Everything I’ve spoken about so far pertains to Darius Cozmic Collection Arcade, which costs $44.99. If you want the full Darius experience, you will also want to grab Darius Cozmic Collection Console, which includes a bundle of rare Darius console games. It costs $59.99. That’s a combined price tag over a hundred bucks. [Polygon Recommends]
