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.

Namco does an anthology right

Namco is the king of the unsatisfying anthology. On the original Playstation, Namco released six volumes of Namco Museum (five in the US), each with a small number of games -- although the interface and extras were fantastic, and without par. They released 16bit and N64 versions without the interfaces. They released two Game Boy Advance installments: one with the essentials (Ms. Pac Man, Dig Dug, Galaga, Galaxian, and a really crappy racing game) and one all Pac Man. They released a terribly stingy package (with just the same old games again) across the current generation of consoles.

Then this game came out in Japan. It contained arrangements of the same old games (though thankfully Rally X returned to favor), but was still stingy at only seven originals and four arrangements, especially considering how many times some of us have bought these games!

However, the American version adds ten new obscure (Motos, Grobda, the excellent Dig Dug II) and not so obscure (Rolling Thunder!) games to the mix, substantially increasing the value. While some of these titles are just this side of awful (Druaga and Dragon Buster, I'm looking at you) most of the added titles are quite enjoyable if a bit slight. Rolling Thunder, a very substantial game that had never been included on a US compilation until this one, is a killer addition. (For what it's worth, Namco released the bonus US content as Namco Museum Vol. 2 in Japan. Some things never change.)

The arranged versions are a mixed bag. Though I love the original Galaga, I find the arrangement pretty intolerable. The art style is garish and ugly and the gameplay is less focused than the original. I can't comment on Pac Man. The arranged Dig Dug is a very interesting remake, plenty worth playing and the best on this compilation. The Rally X arrangement just adds a few powerups and spruced-up graphics.

Now that this has hit a new budget price point, it's truly an essential part of the PSP library. Even if you don't like Pac Man (and I don't), you'll have at least a sawbuck's worth of fun with the games here.

Wonderful classic mets new school twist!!!

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!

Not so Great..

Was disappointed that game had only 3 retro games I really liked; Pac-man, Ms. Pac-man and Galaxian.
Namco could have put more interesting games on the Collection

So much fun! A lot of great games

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.

Very Fun

Games are great. I love the classics, plus the new version of pacman is neat. The game sharing is also cool. My friend can play any of the original games without owning his own copy.

Namco Museum Battle Collection for the PSP is a good group of classic games that are great fun to have on the go. This set includes even more games than some of the Namco Classics discs for the home consoles, so it is a great value. If you like classic gaming compilations, then you should enjoy this game.

Great Game!

I love this game because it's a bunch of games in one. It's the only game i seem to play now. It's a great buy for your money. I would reccomend this product to anyone.

Best of both worlds

This game features the original nostalgic versions of games such as PacMan, Ms. PacMan, Galaga, Galaxian, and Rally X. Players who grew up in this era of classics (like me) can relive all the fun and excitement of these timeless titles again just like they did when they we're younger without pumping quarters into the arcade machines.

For new players, the game features arrangement versions of 4 of the classic games. These are remakes of some of the classic games with new features and updated 3D graphics. Younger players will feel right at home with the 3D graphics but players who experienced the original versions will also appreciate these additions as they experience some of their childhood favorites in a new 3D variation.

Other features are wireless play over WLAN (Ad Hoc) and a game sharing feature which allow PSP owners who do not yet have the game to experience a taste of the classic gaming world.
