5.0 out of 5 stars Only buy this if you really like Pac Man and Namco's classics, August 4, 2008

By	Christian Montoya "Mappdev.com" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I've been following the Namco Museum series for quite a while and I bought Namco Museum on the Gamecube, which was very fun. This game beats the Gamecube version by leaps and bounds, because it takes advantage of the Wii controls in the "remix" games and has more classic games too.

Let me say, however, that if you don't like Pac-Man, or you don't like classic Namco games like Xevious and Dig Dug, then you won't like this game. Just don't bother, or rent it for the few games you will like. That being said, if you do like these things (like I do), then you will love this! The rundown:

Gator Panic Remix: You might have played Gator Panic for tickets at Chuck-e-Cheese's, it's a mallet game where you whomp gators coming out of a cave. This is the first time I've seen it in virtual form and it really works well on the Wii because you actually use the Wii-mote to whomp the gators. I think this one would be the most approachable for little kids.

Rally-X: This is probably the most boring of the games though if you like maze games like Pac-Man, you might enjoy this. You run around on a go-kart through a maze collecting flags and you have to avoid enemies that are chasing you. The only problem is that controlling your kart is a bit dodgy.

Pac'N Roll: This is a really great adventure/puzzle game where you roll Pac-Man through a 3D world picking up energy pellets and occasionally, power pellets that let you eat ghosts. You have a couple abilities to pick up and each level is really long. This is easily the best single-player game in the set.

Galaga Remix: This is a lot like the shooting game in Wii Play or old Zapper games, you use the Wii-mote to shoot at space-bugs while Pac-Man rolls through a space tube, and occasionally you have to shoot down missiles or shoot enemies blocking his path. Perfect "quick-fire" fun.

Pac-Motos: This is a classic "push your enemies off the sky-platform" type of game; as it progresses you have a lot of different enemies to go against and at the end of each world there is a boss stage (these are tough). Good if you like action puzzles.

That's all the games from a single player perspective. I should also mention that games like Gator Panic, Galaga, and Pac-Motos offer multiplayer modes, so they can be a lot of fun with friends. Bottom line is, if you like Namco games and you like Pac-Man, you won't regret buying this.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Atari!, August 17, 2008

By	R. Ray (Slippery Rock, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

I was disappointed with the game... I was a huge Pac-mac fan in the 80's with the old Atari.... this was way more complex, but I truely was hoping to just have a version of the old PAC-MAN we al loved so much.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rent This Game Before You Buy it. I Wish I had., January 27, 2008

By	Sacratomato (Northern California) - See all my reviews

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

The old games included, Galaxian, Xevious, etc, are indeed copies of the classic games. But the game screens are surrounded by "special remix borders", in other words, the game screens are reduced in size. The old games have not been modified to take advantage of the Wii controller. The new "remixed" games do not utilize the Wii controller well and lack the fun of even the basic Wii Sports game that came with your console. Do NOT buy the game unless you rent it first.
