    It's surprising there aren't more ways to enjoy these great little games. [Christmas 2010, p.86]

    For fans of Pac-Man and party games, this is a sure bet and would be a great game to get for households with multiple kids.

    Pac-Man Party is a good alternative party game, and contrary to Mario Party, we can play solo without having to wait for computer-controlled players to move. The game mixes genre to offer more variety in minigames, which is a good thing.

    There are way too many party games on Wii: that's why the main issue of Pac-Man Party is that it does absolutely nothing to stand out in the crowd.

    An overall boring experience is partially saved by the arcade games collection included.

    Pac-Man Party has a lot of the right elements, but Namco wasn't able to fit them together to make a worthwhile game.

    The Classic Games mode is admittedly alluring. Is it worth $40? No, not really. The rest of Pac-man Party feels uninspired and gratuitous.

    Pac-Man backs from the past with a variety of uninspired and gratuitous mini-games. Nothing about the game is particularly fun, except the Namco's classic games inside.

    Our favorite part of Pac-Man Party was definitely the minigames, which were unique, fun, and challenging. Coupled with variety in other aspects of the game, it would've been a great game with fantastic replay value. However, as it exists now, the game will quickly grow dull even if you're playing with three friends and a few drinks.
