Pac-Man Collection contains the original Pac-Man, plus Pac-Attack, PacMania 3D, and the never-before-seen-out-of-the-arcade Pac-Man Arrangement game. Pac-Man plays like you remember, and like Namco Museums's picture perfect re-creation of Ms. Pac-Man, it features spot-on control, graphics, cartoon cutscenes, sound effects, and, best of all, music from the coin-op (who can forget that opening theme?). As such, it's easily the best of this collection.
PacMania 3D is basically a 3-D version of the original, and is just about as uninspired now as when it came out. Pac-Attack is a cool variation on such puzzlers as Tetris and Columns, and as such it's perfect for handheld gaming. Pac-Man Arrangement is an odd little game that plays much like the original but adds weird power-ups that, for example, make you gigantic.
Because Pac-Man Collection is a perfectly emulated package, there isn't much to gripe about, save that Ms. Pac-Man is a far, far better game than the original, and you'll have to shell out more money if you want that one. But for retro gamers on the go who also want to track down ghosts and eat power pills, this package is sure to sate your hunger. --Andrew S. Bub
Pros:
- Perfect graphics and sound
- Perfect controls
- Pac-Attack is a fun Tetris variant
- It's missing the best Pac game, Ms. Pac-Man
- Pac-Man Arrangement and PacMania 3D aren't really great games

Customer Reviews of PacMan Collection
My Favorite GBA game! STRENGTHS: <
> <
>Great graphics in remake of Pac-Man (Pac-Man Arrangement) with new design and new features; Has four games; Continue function in Pac-Man Arrangement makes him basically immortal. <
> <
>WEAKNESSES: <
> <
>I wish they had Continue option in other 3 games too; Pac-Attack could be better if it was more like Tetris. I found Pac-Mania quite boring though I like that you can jump over ghosts there; Would be nice if they have included Ms. Pac-Man in this collection. <
> <
>BRIEF REVIEW: <
> <
>I think out of four games in this pack only 2 are actually playable for real fun and are indeed time consuming. They are Pac-Man Arrangement and Pac-Man original. Although I like the first game better because of new graphics and many new features. <
> <
>PAC-MAN ARRANGEMENT: <
>What I especially like in Pac-Man Arrangement is that it is a great redesign of original Pac-Man with multiple options. <
>You can start from 2 to 6 lives instantly. Graphics are captivating for a fairly outdated console as GBA is. <
> <
>It also has new characters such as a cute Rabbit-like-pink ghost who jumps all over the places and Bull-like-red-boxer ghost who may abruptly throw himself against you like a real boxer. There are some more additions which you will love to discover during playback of Pac-Man arrangement. <
> <
>I like arrow-like points of speed acceleration which allows to use speed burst from one direction of another. Jump-hole innovation is great but in latter worlds they are insanely more than I needed too. Music and graphics are really nice! <
> <
>Although you can't save the game, I like that you may actually CONTINUE the game from the same spot. However, after you die your score still turns to zero. This means that you're virtually immortal! Thus, using Continue function every time my Pac-Man died I was able to go through all 5 worlds and complete the whole game. It won't take more than 30-45 minutes to complete all 5 worlds though. I wish they had more worlds. <
> <
>PAC-MAN: <
>Original Pac-Man comes in full-screen version which is really tiny or you may choose a bigger but scrolling screen version which of course negatively affects on your ability to see the hidden part of the world. <
>I think they kept original features and didn't add any new because basically a new Pac-Man is reborn in Pac-Man Arrangement. I wish they could at least add Continue option in Pan-Man too, like they did for Pac-Man Arrangement. <
> <
>PAC-ATTACK: <
>It is weird attempt to create a tetris-like Pac-Man with geometric figures falling down and with little Pac-Man attached to one of the ends of the figure. As soon as any figure with Pac-Man falls down it eats a path which was previously made out of other Pac-Man-ends of figures. Not only it is worse than Tetris, but it is hard to play and game finishes quickly. <
> <
>PAC-MANIA: <
>It is basically a three-dimensional Pac-Man who also jumps. <
>Other than that I didn't find it exciting. <
> <
>CONCLUSION: <
> <
>I think this game pack is probably one of the best buys out of all GBA games. Especially in terms of bringing you endless fun per spent dollar. It worth every spent penny. <
> <
>Would be nice if in Pac-Man Arrangement there was a jump over ghosts function too. Game developers could develop Pac-Attack and Pac-Mania in a much better and more playable way and include Ms. Pac-Man in this collection. <
> <
>I would rate Pac-Man Arrangement as the best innovative game out of these 4-pack game collection. I highly recommend to purchase this game pack because you won't be disappointed. I found a great deal and bought 3 of these games - one for myself, the second for my spouse and the third as a spare game. :) <

Very good
My mom is crazy about this games, she is the one that is playing it!! Maybe because she used to play them long, long time ago...NICOLE REY
Fun for a while
My 8 year old son begged for this game after playing it at Target. He lost interest in it pretty quickly. It's nostalgic, but lacks the fancy graphics and intensity of the games of today. It's probably more fun for those of us who remember playing PacMan in the arcades.
