 Near perfect Pac-Man December 20, 2007
Jeremy
Judged on just the extras, menus & features, this title is far from special. Compared to what Capcom has delivered with their "Classics" series, a few extra features like save states and shorter load times would have been nice.
However, I bought this title for the Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man and Galaga emulations, and on that note 50th Anniverary delivers. First off, the graphics & sound for Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man & Galaga are spot on, a vast improvement over the terrible distortions of the original Namco Museum (Xbox) title. Ghost behavior in the Pac-Man games is about as close to the arcade as you'll probably find in an emulation. Sit spots, passing through ghosts, and the little quirks of each monster from what I can tell are exploitable just as they were in the arcade. As far as grouping behavior goes, I'm not an expert in that arena, so your mileage may vary if your questing for a perfect game and want to test out your favorite arcade tricks.
I only wish I could praise the Galaga emulation as highly. Graphics & sound are as they should be, but an unfortunate input lag will cause some frustration when your pounding away on the fire button. Of course, having played the arcade quite a bit during the 90's, I became accustomed to creaky old stained cabinets with faded screens and half working controls.
As for the rest... I'll have to give the other games a try, but for the big 3 this disc does deliver the goods.
