    There's nothing wrong with these classics, but as a collection the variety is lacking and with so few arcade titles as well. Sure, the similarities between titles can be blamed on the hardware of their time, but I'm certain Namco had made more than just space shooters and maze/chase games. One of the only real standouts here is Dig Dug 2, they even included the original version of the gameThere's nothing wrong with these classics, but as a collection the variety is lacking and with so few arcade titles as well.

One of the only real standouts here is Dig Dug 2, they even included the original version of the game which is a nice addition. Even then Namco had gone with out the first Dig Dug, probably one of their most iconic games, and for whatever reason, chose only the sequel instead of having both games and ditching that lame Tower Of Druaga one (I'm sorry but that game plain sucks). The game also has a library of game manuals and artwork but it's all on the DS and looks like low-res crap. There's multiplayer Pac-Man too but I had never played it and I couldn't imagine any kids who own this game having friends who'd want to play it either, especially when its part of such a lackluster game. Wanting to play arcade games on the go and nothing else, go ahead.… Expand

    The collection itself is great, but the way it's been fleshed out is really impressive. The full-fledged treatment of each game makes this edition of Namco Museum really feel like a museum.

    Namco Museum DS is a decent collection of arcade classics, but you'll have to turn your DS on its side to see them properly.

    As a classics collection (a Namco Museum, if you will), it fails pretty hard. It's lacking some much-needed games, and its meager selection of seven classic titles pales to the 21 in the PSP Museum. Pac-Man Vs., however, is excellent.
