If you're a retrogaming fan (like I am), then Namco Museum is a no-brainer, if only for the Arrangements.

Excellent arrangements of Dig Dug, Galaga, and Pac-Man maintain the integrity (and brilliance) of the originals. [Feb 2002, p.85]

Everyone who enjoys video games owes it to themselves to try these titles at least once. If, however, you enjoy arcade reflex contests where you play for high scores, this will be perfect for you.

Gaming Age

Arguably, there are other classics that should have been included, but it's an excellent sampling and a nice blast from the past if you're interested in walking down memory lane.

Matt K. gave it a 7:
Some of the titles are down right difficult to control with the analog stick, but most will work with the digital cross as well. My son has been playing games off this disc since he was 2 with no difficulty.

Face gave it a 2:
Played it for about 3 mins then stopped.
