Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Squeaky and Difficult Controller Challenges Game Play
Pac-Man is a fun game, but only when you can move the controller with predictable ease. So yes, I am chiming in with the same basic criticism as another reviewer - the controller is difficult.

The games on here are not standard fare. Pac-Man is probably the only readily recognizable game. The others are variations on Pac-Man that were released in the early 1980s. They include Pac-Man Plus (this is a very fast Pac-Man with some extra surprises thrown in.) Next there is Super Pac-Man with a giant and fast Pac-Man. And finally there is Pac & Pal which seems very Japanese in its quirkiness. All of these games are fun in their own ways, so enjoy them.

Keep in mind these arcade games are fun, but only after you master the stubborn and unresponsive controller. To navigate turns you must forcefully move the joystick before (not at) the actual turns. This becomes very annoying and hard on the hands. In addition the joystick will soon become quite squeaky from all the heavy-handed use.

The concept for the game is great and it is definitely fun after mastering the cantankerous controller.






Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A bit too difficult for young kids
I bought this for my kids for Xmas but they don't play with it much because it's frustratingly difficult for them. My kids are 8 and 6 and used to playing video games. Even I find it a little hard and not so motivating because I can only get so far before the game turns too frantic.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pac Man Variety:
I had received this two months ago; someone had purchased it from a local Walmart. It was lots of fun. It did take me some time to warm up to the other pac man games, but I love them now. As for the reg. pac man, it did take me some getting used to the sound effects, as I was used to the ones from Atari 2600.
It's fun, you can take it anywhere that you'll cross a tv you can plug it in.
My son loves to play it, too.
As for the other pac man games, besides the regular pac man, there are already pre-set high scores from other players.
I highly recommend this game.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Unresponsive joystick ruins the game
I was a big Pac-Man fan growing up (and still am, I guess), so I was very excited about getting this play-at-home version. The graphics, sounds and overall game are exactly as I remember them, definitely not a bad remake. BUT...the joystick, or how it's connected to the software is really aweful. About 1 out of 5 times you press the joystick a certain direction, the game simply doesn't respond. A ghost is coming, so you turn the other way...but Pac-Man just continues to run right into him. It was really maddening, so much so that after spending 10 minutes trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, I realized it's just not made well. I think this is a cute "retro" gag gift, but not really made for anyone who really wants to play the game or hopes to get beyond level one, due to a poorly engineered controller.
