Just like some other PSP owners, okay, almost all PSP owners, who are itching for new games - I set out to purchase Namco Museum Battle Collection. I was pleasantly surprised to see a horde of classic games that reminds me of my yesteryear! And there are 4 new 'arranged' version of Pacman, Dig Dug, Galaga, and New RallyX.
I guess I'm a graphics addict that I found myself playing the new 'arranged' versions more. But either games, I tend to get involved in it that I just have to finish a level, then continue on until I realized how much time i've already 'wasted'. This game trully is a good past time for those quick PSP hunger pangs. If you already have the Namco Collection on your console, this may not be necessar, as it is basically a ported game.
However, if you enjoy getting into quick gameplays, or just challenging yourself with simple but entertaining games, games that revolutionalized the video gaming history/industry, this maybe worth checking out. Enjoy!
Honestly, I think anything above 60-65 is worth buying.. in terms of giving it a score. (as where 50-60 is average, 40 is poor, 30 sucks, 20 is horrible and 10 shouldn't have been made).
I bought it the day it came out (didn't realize it came out that day) and I have had a blast playing it.. although, it does seem like a quagmire to purchase a title that has 20 or so games that came out anywhere between 1980 to 1984. This point enough is probably the reason i'd give it a 70 as well, for the simple fact that I am wanting more out of the psp than 20 or so 20+ year old games and 4 re done ones..
Xevious alone though, makes this title worth a pick up.. I mean that game was very ahead of it's time as far as shooters go.. (thinks of old amiga shooters like sidewinder *not the F15 flight game*, and insanity fight).
Huh.. In the world where I grew up...70 was a C- and 60-65 was just barely above failing. If its a game I played alot, great graphics or no, I'd think it'd rate better than a 'below avg.' rating. That was why I am confused. Maybe I'm just to old to realize that avg now days IS 50? If thats TRUE..I was WAY above average and deserved scholorships for failing calculus!
Since very few PSP games have been getting 80's and 90's, games that get 70+ are now the top of the heap, while 60+ are worth buying. It's called "grading on a curve".
I was really disappointed with this game. I bought it for my wife (she loves Ms. Pac Man) and the controls are really hard for both of us.
I had considered reviewing this game and I was planning on giving it a 50/100. Those that love nostalgia will love this game, those that want something fun to play...I found it to be at about "half mass."
