5 out of 5 stars Great Game!   January 12, 2007
I love this game because it's a bunch of games in one. It's the only game i seem to play now. It's a great buy for your money. I would reccomend this product to anyone.


4 out of 5 stars Good collection of classics   January 11, 2007
Namco Museum Battle Collection for the PSP is a good group of classic games that are great fun to have on the go. This set includes even more games than some of the Namco Classics discs for the home consoles, so it is a great value. If you like classic gaming compilations, then you should enjoy this game.


5 out of 5 stars Return to my youth   January 5, 2007
Are the same with I played with arcade in my natal city


5 out of 5 stars Very Fun   January 3, 2007
Games are great. I love the classics, plus the new version of pacman is neat. The game sharing is also cool. My friend can play any of the original games without owning his own copy.


4 out of 5 stars Namco does an anthology right   September 21, 2006
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Namco is the king of the unsatisfying anthology. On the original Playstation, Namco released six volumes of Namco Museum (five in the US), each with a small number of games -- although the interface and extras were fantastic, and without par. They released 16bit and N64 versions without the interfaces. They released two Game Boy Advance installments: one with the essentials (Ms. Pac Man, Dig Dug, Galaga, Galaxian, and a really crappy racing game) and one all Pac Man. They released a terribly stingy package (with just the same old games again) across the current generation of consoles.

Then this game came out in Japan. It contained arrangements of the same old games (though thankfully Rally X returned to favor), but was still stingy at only seven originals and four arrangements, especially considering how many times some of us have bought these games!

However, the American version adds ten new obscure (Motos, Grobda, the excellent Dig Dug II) and not so obscure (Rolling Thunder!) games to the mix, substantially increasing the value. While some of these titles are just this side of awful (Druaga and Dragon Buster, I'm looking at you) most of the added titles are quite enjoyable if a bit slight. Rolling Thunder, a very substantial game that had never been included on a US compilation until this one, is a killer addition. (For what it's worth, Namco released the bonus US content as Namco Museum Vol. 2 in Japan. Some things never change.)

The arranged versions are a mixed bag. Though I love the original Galaga, I find the arrangement pretty intolerable. The art style is garish and ugly and the gameplay is less focused than the original. I can't comment on Pac Man. The arranged Dig Dug is a very interesting remake, plenty worth playing and the best on this compilation. The Rally X arrangement just adds a few powerups and spruced-up graphics.

Now that this has hit a new budget price point, it's truly an essential part of the PSP library. Even if you don't like Pac Man (and I don't), you'll have at least a sawbuck's worth of fun with the games here.
