A must for Pac-fanatics, good buy for casual gamers

This is admittedly biased review, as I am a huge Ms.Pac Man fan, but I dont think it can be denied that Ms.is the best game in the Pac-series: the simple interface of the game is incredibly addictive and provides for moments of frantic panic (will you reach the power pill in time! ) and joyous celebration or agonizing defeat. The variety of mazes circumvents the monotony of the original and the moving fruit provides for increased challenge. Control could have been better, but we all know that Pac-fans can overcome even the stubbornest of joysticks, so the response from the GBC is no major problem. The addition of Super Pac Man is an interesting reminder of an oft-forgotten sequel. In this game, your objective varies slightly as you must obtain keys which unlock pathways to fruit which must be eaten to clear the stage. Those pesky ghosts are back but now you can become invincible to them by eating special pills which make you grow to gargantuan size,as well as the standard power pills. Decent, unique entry in the series. Buy it for a dose of nostalgia and get addicted all over again.

An Excellent Game

This game is excellent! For one thing, this game is actually much easier than the arcade version of Ms. Pac-Man. However, I actually like that it's easier! I can get to higher levels and get a higher score! Also, the power pills don't work starting in level 31, unlike in the arcade, where they don't work starting in level 17, but again, it makes the game a little easier, so I won't complain. Also, you can play in full-screen mode with uglier graphics, if you can't stand seeing only part of the maze at a time! This alone gives the game a 5-star rating. It only helps that Super Pac-Man is also here, a game where Pac-Man can eat super pellets to fly over the ghosts and eat through locked gates. I like this game too, although Ms. Pac-Man is THE best video game EVER!

Great classic game

I love this game. It is just like I remember on Atari that I used to play with. It is one of those classic games that you play just to beat your score, not to just get to the end of the game and then go through all the levels that you've already gone through. This is a great addition to anyone's game collection.

Fun, but Gameboy not the best vehicle for this game.

While there is no denying the staying power of this addictive game, I didn't think gameboy was the best vehicle for it. The game is best played with joystick and the small screen and controls don't quite do Ms. Pacman justice. Great way to pass the time in airports but the old arcade version is still much more fun to play.

Hours of entertainment....

Ms. Pacman, arguably one of the best Atari games ever, is back in a big way for Gameboy. The Loveable Ms. Pacman, sporting her farmiliar bow to distinguish her from her man is ready for action. The game is quite fun, with all the essential elements in place, the pellets, the ghosts etc. You loved the original, now enjoy good graphics as well.

the must have Ms. Pacman

This game is really fun to play, even though it gets repetitive after a while. The Gameboy game is just like the original Ms. Pacman that many of you have played in arcades before. It involves trying to eat all of the Pac Dots in a maze while running away from colorful ghost creatures. As dull as this may sound, it can provde hours of fun as you work your way through over twenty levels and try to earn movie clips along the way. Unfortunately, every level is almost exactly the same besides more valuable fruits and slightly different pathways. Also, the high score resets itself every single time you turn off your Gameboy. So if you want friends or siblings to compete with your scores, you need to simply rely on honesty.

Along with the Ms. Pacman game I have just described, there is also Super Pacman, a great added bonus! Super Pacman comes with Ms. Pacman, but it is a completely different game that involves using keys to unlock Pac Dots. Sadly, it is also very repetitive and the high scores still don't save! But overall, Ms. Pacman for Gameboy Color is an awsome game that can add hours of entertainment to a boring car ride, and it definitly deserves to be bought!

Just like the original!

The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is somewhat difficult to maneuver Ms. Pac Man without a joystick. This game is fun nevertheless and it also includes Super Pac Man which is really fun!
