Atari Masterpieces Vol. 2 is a compilation of Arcade games and the follow-up to Atari Masterpieces Vol. I (2005, Nokia N-Gage).
+ Centipede plays surprisingly well and the fast-paced gameplay is entertaining with little in the way of compromise for the smaller screen.
+ Includes an excellent port of Tempest with awesome rapid-fire abilities and various playfield shapes to spice things up.
- Crystal Castles features an incredibly zoomed-out camera that makes it tough to accurately collect gems and turn corners with finesse.
- Liberator is barely functional, as it's almost impossible to see the minuscule enemies against the coloured backdrop.
- Pong and Warlords don't benefit from the transition to d-pad movement, as without a paddle, precision manoeuvres just aren't possible.
- Likewise, Asteroids Deluxe and Space Duel struggle with micro-control adjustments, and you'll often miss enemies right in front of you.
