5 out of 5 stars So much fun! A lot of great games   August 11, 2006
This is a great game for PSP! It has a lot of the original old arcade style games (Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, etc.) but also has some update versions of some of the old games. Both are a lot of fun to play. This is the first UMD I've gotten for my PSP and am thrilled with it. It gives me the opportunity to have a lot of different games and only had to buy one UMD. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves the video games of the 80's.


5 out of 5 stars A Great Compilation of Early Classics   May 17, 2006

Namco could have packaged a few old school games together and been done with it, but they chose to take some care with the arrangements and make some fun games even better. I got the feeling they had a real respect for the old classics and it is a job very well done.

I used to be a big fan of Dig Dug and Galaga, and they are here very true to the originals. The arrangements are just as much fun, keeping the form but adding some nice updated graphics. This is a great game to take with you traveling, or times when you want to fit a quick game in and can't get too involved for a long period of time.

I recommend it highly. Sure it's nostalgia, when games were more simplistic but still a lot of fun. Good replay value and should be included in anyone's library of games for a change of pace from the more intense games.

The Namco Museum Battle Collection is living proof that the past will always catch up with today's advances, adding fuel to the argument that it's all in the gameplay. Namco Museum showcases the founding concepts of most modern gaming, but, in essence, the sum of these games is all about the numbers. That, however, doesn't change the fact that all of today's games can trace their DNA to any one of these titles.

And gameplay is what you get with this collection. The PSP has been virtually retrofitted to give you a healthy dose of all your favorites from the early days of gaming, beginning of course with the immortal Pac-Man, the always imitated Galaga/Galaxian, and right on through to some little known but nonetheless engaging titles such as Rolling Thunder, Bosconian, and Xevious.

The four "arranged" versions (Pac-Man, Rally-X, Dig Dug, and Galaga) are sure to please a great many gamers with overhauled versions of their respective originals, but with a maximum six attainable levels in each of these games, sometimes the experience just seems a little short. The original versions, on the other hand, sometimes offer more challenge than their descendants, being impeded only by the fact that the only way to get the most of the PSP's screen is to stretch the gameplay screen to fit and thus distort the original screen ratio.

If you're the type of gamer who's into the PSP mainly for its portability, Namco Museum could give you many hours of quick, satisfying casual gaming. Just pop it in and rack up those high scores.

However, if you have a PSP because you believe in its capability to equal its older brother and are on the lookout for seriously immersive, big-scale gaming, Namco Museum could do in a pinch, but it won't rock your mind the way GTA:LCS, SOCOM, or any other hardware-maxing title is currently out there.

Namco Museum is seriously fun and worth a look. It may, on the whole, be old, but don't dis this granddaddy just yet. There's gold in them thar games.

This has become one of my favorite games to play. I love these old school titles, and this series is packed with great ones.

This version of Namco classics is a must buy for PSP owners. Even if you have the 50th Anniversary version for the PS2. For one thing you get the more games and you get to have all those great games on the go. Once you get it the game, play Galaga Arrangement and put it on the easy level so you can play through the whole game. If you're a pro at Galaga, you should be able to finish the game on your first try. The whole point of this is to check out the graphic power of the PSP. The background graphics in this game are awesome and show you what a powerful device the PSP actually is. To bad Namco didn't put this game on the 50th Anniversary version for PS2 but hey they did it to make money. This Galaga Arrangement is actually different from the one on the Museum collection. The Galaga Arrangement on the PSP is more fun then the Museum version on the PS2. This game is must buy for all those Galaga fans owning a PSP. You'll definitly enjoy it.
