  • Summary: Go back in time with Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade and relive classic Namco arcade favorites including Tower of Druaga, Galaga, Grobda, Mappy, Metro-Cross, Ms. Pac-Man, New Rally-X, Pac-Man Arrangement, Pole Position 2, Sky Kid, and Xevious, just to name a few. Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade also features Pac-Man Championship Edition which was voted the best downloadable game of 2007 by numerous video game publications. Galaga Legions continues Pac-Man Championship Edition's legacy with a smart re-tooling of the franchise that stays true to the series' roots. Spanning three decades worth of arcade nostalgia, Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade promises to be the most fully realized Namco Museum collection yet. [Namco Bandai Games] Expand

  2. Negative: 2 out of 16
  1. Even with these menu and presentation issues, Namco Museum Virtual Arcade is definitely worth picking up at the current price for classics like Dragon Spirit, Galaga '88, Mappy, Super Pac-Man and a few others that are worth trying, in addition to the XBLA content.
  2. The bottom line is simple. If you are a fan of classic Namco games, there is no reason to not buy this disc. If you have not yet bought any of the games available on Xbox Live, this is the way to do it because you are getting more than your money worth.
  3. Despite all this chafe in the wheat, Namco Museum Virtual Arcade is a pretty decent package for the price.
  4. A curio piece lacking enough quality games to justify the price tag. [July 2009, p.83]
