Was disappointed that game had only 3 retro games I really liked; Pac-man, Ms. Pac-man and Galaxian.
Namco could have put more interesting games on the Collection

This was the first game I bought for my PSP. Living in Japan, I got hold of one of the first PSPs, but I took months to buy a game for it. They were all so…uninteresting looking. Puzzle games, RPGs–part of it was I knew I wouldn’t be able to read the text, because I know few kanji. Finally I bought this one just to have SOMETHING to play.
And it was fun. Nice little trip down memory lane with the original version of the games (and they are JUST like the original versions), and the new versions were well-executed. For what it was meant to be, I give it 4 stars.
But only 3 stars for fun, because really, the fun didn’t last at all. Those old games really don’t compare to the new stuff out there, and updated versions of them with fancy graphics and a couple extras tossed in just aren’t all that much more fun. Yes, it was fun, for a couple of weeks. After that, I was looking around for something new, but the new games have been coming slowly.
Don’t get me wrong–I think the PSP is great. And I just bought a used copy of Ridge Racers (finally!), which is mildly enjoyable–it’s just to tide me over until Grand Theft Auto comes out. But what I really use my PSP for 95% of the time is watching movies that I’ve converted with PSP Video 9, and listening to music. It’s excellent for that. But when GTA shows up, the whole PSP game world is going to undergo a paradigm shift.

I have about 35 PSP games and this is far and away the one I play the most. Most of the reimagined/updated games are really fun (New Pac-Man, for example, adds a bunch of fun features and I can play it for hours). Rolling Thunder is my favorite of the originals.
The controls are great and well thought out, it almost feels as if the games have been redesigned rather than just ported. I’ve had this game a year and a half at least and still play it often, you won’t be disappointed.
