| Game Info |
| -Namco tries again to bring their classics back. Did they fail? Well, not entirely.... Namco has a lot in it: Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, Pole Position, Pole Position 2, Ms. Pac-Man, and Galazian. They also have 2 unlockables, Pac-Attack and Pac-Mania. BUT this time, Namco adds what they call "Arrangements" or revamped versions of Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig-Dug. Interesting. Gameplay: C OK, I like classics. But to a point. The classics are nice to play every so once in awhile. Animal Crossing kinda makes this game look bad because it has MORE classic games than Namco Museum and a very nice main game. The "Arrangements" of Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig-Dug have slightly better graphics, though some too colorful that it's confusing. The most pleasing one is Galaga Arrangement in which you travel through space while there is more enemies and they fly and attack in different ways. Pac-Man Arrangement is OK and makes up mistakes that were in the original. Pac-Man in my opionon was way too hard, and Pac-Man Arrangement tones it down a bit. Graphics: D What did you expect? It's the same 8-bit graphics also with 16-bit "Arrangement" graphics. There's no technological acheivements here. Sound: C+ The tunes are OK. But most of the games don't even have background music. The sound effects are the same. Challenge: B+ The game's best category. Some of those games are near impossible!! Replay: C Like I said, you play these games every so often. They are fun and a nice break from the complex games of consoles today. Overall: 68% "If you like classics, buy it. If your 8-bit system broke and you want to play these games, buy it." |
