    Nice to see the old yella fella in a decent game for a change. A great kart racing experience. [May 2007, p.86]

    No replays, soft collision, and pesky bombs aside, PMWR is a fair rally game, and possibly the most brand-drenched racer ever. [Aug 2006, p.64]
  3. Platform-wise, the PSP snags a slim victory, as it supports four players on a local connection, while the home versions will only offer split-screen multiplayer.
  4. It's about time the iconic Pac-Man gets his own cart racing game, but we're hard done by the game's generic racing action and bland tracks.

    There is a bit of fun to be had, but unless you pick up the console version with its more accessible multiplayer, you'll end up paying over the odds for a game that can be finished in a single weekend.

    I was excited to get this, thinking it would be the mario kart for psp. which in a way it is, but extremely watered down. It takes no talent I was excited to get this, thinking it would be the mario kart for psp. which in a way it is, but extremely watered down. It takes no talent to beat this game whatsoever. i beat the game in like 25 minutes. Easiest game available for PSP. Great for young kids though. This game is not overall boring, but was not what i expected and the lasting appeal is maybe a week. Full Review »
