Pac man is a really cool game. I used to play it on my computer everyday. When I heard that pac man was out for gameboy advance, I rented it to see how good it was. Let me put it to you this way: The graphics are horrible, the pac man guy is so slow, theres no music while your playing, and there are very few levels. Dont buy this game!

Are u joking? pac man......

If you still have "Pac Man Fever" check out NamcoMuseum for the GBA. It has Ms. Pac Man, and many other games which put these to shame. As someone who works in video games, I never heard so many complaints about a game, as I did this one (i.e. - too difficult, too boring etc)

WARNING:DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!

Ok, first of all, this game makes me very mad. You think with a rating of 2 stars, this would have to be a bad game. Well, this is actually a great game, and I couldn't want much more for the GBA. So, what drives me completely mad? Well, to have a game with such great potential, and so many good things, and then to have all or most of it thrown out the window because of the 2 most obvious easiest things they coulda done. First of all, this game does NOT save your high scores. That is truly ridiculous, to have a game that is based on your scores and your high scores, thats what makes you want to play in the first place. To try to beat your high score, or thats at least one of the reasons. So, I have to write my high scores down on a stinkin sheeet of paper that I'd have to carry around with me. Why? Even the Mario game saves your high scores and thats not nearly as important to save as in an arcade game like Pac-man. Also, the scoring system is 2 of the 4 games are totally whack, the score disappears in pac-attack right after the game is over, you barely have time to look and it and then write it down, and that doesn't even save your score while you keep the system on. Also, this game offers no 2 player or "muliplayer" support. This coulda been easy as pie for them to do. Just to have an option where you can compete against the person next to you with one gameboy passing it back and forth to try to beat the other players high score. That's how they did it with my Ms. Pac-man on gameboy. And no, there is no "muliplayer" where you can link up with someone else's GBA. That's not as bothersome, but lots of people like to do that. But hey, besides these complaints that totally destroy with an arcade game is all about, this is a great pac-man collection. The makers of this game must be blooming idiots, to miss the most obvious best things. Wow! Is it humanly possible for people to be so stupid, I would expect this out of dogs who decided to make a pac-man game. Oh yeah, this would probably be a 6 star game if they included everything in there that I talk about. But no, they destroyed this game turning it into a 2 star game.

It's amazing to me that when the original Pac-Man came out in the early eighties. It was housed in an eight-foot tall console. Now that original game can be held in your hand with three other variations.

Anyway, unless you're already a fan of the game, I wouldn't bother. To make the characters large enough to be easily recognizable, they have to scroll the rest of the board, which makes strategy very difficult.

In addition, the Tetris knockoff they include is just that... a knockoff, and next to worthless.

baddddddddddddddd

Ever since his 1980 debut, Pac Man has been one of the most popular video game characters out there. And over the years, there have been a surprising amount of games featuring the little yellow dot muncher. In recent years, this collection of games from the series was released for the Game Boy Advance. Read on for my review.

PROS:
-You get four Pac Man games in this collection - the original Pac Man, Pac Attack (a puzzle game), Pac Man Arrangement, and Pac Man 3D.
-The set is priced very well, making it ideal to GBA owners that like old school gaming.

CONS:
-Why in the world would you make a Pac Man collection without Ms. Pac Man, the best game in the entire series!?
-There are too many other games missing from this collection, including Super Pac Man, Pac Man Jr., and Pac Man 2.
-Someone can't seem to get something through their head - The classic Pac Man games just don't work that well on portable systems. If you want a detailed screen in them, you have to be zoomed in and can't see the entire screen, but if you want to see the entire screen you must sacrifice detail. When will people learn?
-Hardcore modern gamers aren't going to like this at all.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a good, but flawed retrospective. Still, many classic gamers may want to check it out due to the low price alone. If you're a classic gamer, don't overlook this little gem.

Good variety of play, Pac Man is Pac Man

Pac Man proved something to me with this collection, which was that the developers could take the same concept and make it interesting with four different versions of Pac Man. First there is the original hit game, Pac Man, where you are a little man with a huge mouth going through a maze, gobbling up pellets, being chased by ghosts in a never-ending quest. The next game is "Pac Man Arrangement," which is essentially the same game, only with fun new features, such as a dash and the graphics are a bit better. When Pac Man runs over a dash, he will zip from one side of the maze to the other, past all ghosts that chase him. The third game is Pac Attack, which is a clone of Tetris, falling blocks, some with ghosts in them, and eventually a falling Pac Man to eat the ghosts! You score points by stacking a line of bars or by having a Pac Man eat the ghosts. The fourth game is a great Pac Man game for the present day called Pac Mania! It features crisp graphics, a 3D maze, 3D Pac Man and 3D ghosts, each with their own personalities! The point of it is to still eat all of the pellets in the maze, but now there are more ghosts and you cannot see the entire maze in just one screen. The mazes even have different themes to them, such as one maze will be made of Legos, another will be on the top of a roof! One more thing, now Pac Man can jump over the ghosts! It's a very nice addition to the Pac Family. The only unfortunate part to all of these games is that it does not save your high scores when you turn the game off! There is some nice variety to this game pack, but its not for everyone.
