    The perfect example of a good game that just takes a bit too much from other games than it should.

    Will quickly be overshadowed and fade into obscurity. [Nov 2002, p.134]

    The difference between the two games is night and day, with "Mario Party 4" being the better of the two by a wide margin.

    There are virtually no sound effects or voice samples included at all, leaving the dire music to keep your ears entertained. Add weak animation and bland graphics to these other failings and you have a title almost totally lacking in charm and appeal.

    The three boards are each a little on the dull side and the play mechanics are uninspired.

    Just another shallow party game.

    Though it has the formula down, it has failed to capture the incentive to play and the depth to sustain continued play.

    Pac’s newest adventure involves playing cheesy boards and minigames with his sappy friends (obviously his wife’s pals), who look like they hopped out of a Barney video.

    Party game gone to hell thanks to its poor execution.

    I wish this game was on GBA, but the GCN version was better than PS2 in my OPINION!

    I honestly don't care what other people think i really like this game and i grew up with it! ;)

    Sure its sort of like a Mario Party rip off    I honestly don't care what other people think i really like this game and i grew up with it! ;)

    Sure its sort of like a Mario Party rip off but Namco was trying something different for once and i think that was good for them too do that.

    People may say that this game has no sound affects or any kind of voice acting of such kind? But did PAC Man really had a voice actor back in the day come on now? you really expect voice acting in this game?

    The music is good. but gets a little annoying once and a while to be honest

    Mini games

    They were okay but they could of had a better ideas

    Design

    Looks great!

    Pac man and everyone else seem too look fine as long as there is no glitches, but other than that im fine with

    Anyway 8.0 Great! Game

    Should i recommend it?

    If your a real fan of Pac man and party games then this is for you my friend

    But if you dont really know what Pac man really is then your not going to get the real concept of it and how it works... so no to that    … Full Review »
