 Super fun, but for how long? October 10, 2005

This collection really brings you back. This UMD is great fun!! However, it gets tiring fast. How many times can one play PacMan anyway?
I like being able to rotate the display to play the PSP vertically; nice touch!
Haven't had a chance to check out the multiplayer functionality yet, but I'm sure it will be a blast.
I actually prefer the suped up versions of the games to the originals, but playing them again is great!
If you're a nostalgia buff, this game is for you!!

This was the first game I bought for my PSP. Living in Japan, I got hold of one of the first PSPs, but I took months to buy a game for it. They were all so...uninteresting looking. Puzzle games, RPGs--part of it was I knew I wouldn't be able to read the text, because I know few kanji. Finally I bought this one just to have SOMETHING to play.
And it was fun. Nice little trip down memory lane with the original version of the games (and they are JUST like the original versions), and the new versions were well-executed. For what it was meant to be, I give it 4 stars.
But only 3 stars for fun, because really, the fun didn't last at all. Those old games really don't compare to the new stuff out there, and updated versions of them with fancy graphics and a couple extras tossed in just aren't all that much more fun. Yes, it was fun, for a couple of weeks. After that, I was looking around for something new, but the new games have been coming slowly.
Don't get me wrong--I think the PSP is great. And I just bought a used copy of Ridge Racers (finally!), which is mildly enjoyable--it's just to tide me over until Grand Theft Auto comes out. But what I really use my PSP for 95% of the time is watching movies that I've converted with PSP Video 9, and listening to music. It's excellent for that. But when GTA shows up, the whole PSP game world is going to undergo a paradigm shift.
 My personal favorite PSP game! You'll love it too. September 14, 2005

Retro games are good, but when they are done right, they can be great. This is easily the greatest arcade compilation I've ever played. Not only can you play these classic arcade games in the palm of your hand, but you can enjoy the best collection of them all in one. 20 games, including "redone" games of Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga and RallyX.
The quality of each classic is amazing and they play nearly exactly to the old arcade cabinets from the retro 80's, graphics, music, sound FX and all. The bestest of the best is clearly Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man, RallyX and DigDug. But it doesn't stop there. There are 4 new Arrangement games of those 4 classics, I like to view them as remixes. They are are redone, upheavels in levels, gameplay, sound and graphics. The arranged Galaga is very addicting and you'll be hooked instantly. Dig Dug remade is basically the same game with better graphics and new enemies. RallyX, which was a decent game in the 80's, is redone and very fun to boot. These "arranged" games could have been sold seperately and probably most would have been pleased with them.
The originals are as fun as you remember them and just as challenging. Getting to that "key" in Pac-Man is still no easy task. But for novice gamers, never threat, you can continue from where you left off on many of the old games. Some of the other titles included like Grobada, Motos, Bosconian, DragonBuster and Galaxian are very obscure, but amazingly, they still do offer some fun factor. The rest you may not spent much time with in the past and most you might not play much, but you'll be happy with it overall.
Some might be a bit "squinty" eyed playing some of the old games like Pac-Man, the ratio of the originals were made for horizontal screens, so it's very small on the widescreen PSP, but thankfully they offered a "stretch" option for most of the titles. It looks a bit weird all stretched out, but it's better than playing on the little playing field.
Overall, this is clearly the best PSP game to buy, especially if you like classic arcade gaming, this is how it all began, no quarters needed...
Not What I Had Expected.. September 11, 2005

Ok, so i was at my local Supermarket to get a new PSP game. I was sure i was getting Death Jr. but they didn't have it. The choices were Hotshots Golf, MLB, and Namco Battle Museum. Obviously, I chose Namco Battle Museum.
All I can say is.. wow. There are 20 fun games that I really enjoy out of 21. I'd say that's awesome. The Replay value of all the games are extremely high. (Especially Galaga Arrangement, my favorite) The 17 Classic games play almost exactly like the arcade versions, and last time I checked, they are the full arcade versions. The New "Arrangement" games (Galaga A, Pacman A, DigDug A, and New RallyX A) have great graphics and put an awesome twist into already awesome games. I HIGHLY recommend this to EVERYONE. There's no way you won't be able to find a game you like out of the TWENTY ONE choices.
PLUS, It's only about 2 bucks per game and THAT makes it KICK ASS!
Wonderful classic mets new school twist!!! September 9, 2005

This game is awesome! Sony has done a great job with combining the old with the new. Not only do you receive the old school acrade games... Sony includes a "remake" of each game as well. Which quite frankly.. I perfer!! If you are a true Pac-Man fan.. get ready for the super graphics!! I purchased my PSP on Amazon for $229.00 & this game for $39.99 - Great way to consolidate entertainment. Be Blessed!
