This disc is a great value. You don't have to worry about DRM because they're all on a disc. All of these games together also cost much less than the price of just the ones available on X-Box Live.
when I purchased this game I mostly purchased it for the Pac Man Championship edition. Well to my surprise you are not able to play Pac Man Championship Edition unless you are signed into the xbox live session. This was a huge inconvenience because I would have not purchased this game and just would have downloaded it from the xbox live and saved $27. Misleading, should have explained this in the product description.
I bought this with the idea of reliving my 80's arcade past. Pac Man and a couple of others. Galaga comes with another version that is really cool and fun. There are the old favorites and some newer versions of the old favorites too. Definitely worth the money when you consider the pure volume of games that you get. Lots of Shoot 'em up games and a ton of games that I never even heard of. It delivers for the most part. You can still play Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Rally X, Pole Position, etc, if you aren't online.
Please note, the original Pac-Man game can only be played if you are online with your 360. Same with Ms. My kids love the games and have had a blast with some of the simple games with their equally simple graphics. Not too challenging, good for all ages, and easy to just pick up and play.
Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade, while not ground breaking, is a great value for the money. It has over thirty games on the disc, including nine full XBLA titles complete with achievements. It is a bit Pac-Man heavy, but titles like Rolling Thunder, Baraduke, Bosconian and Sky Kid more than round out the collection. At $30, this is a must-buy for the arcade rats among us.
This is just an ok game. Maybe not for the smaller children/teens because they might find it a little boring. This does not include the Pac-Man I thought it would but overall it just average. Includes classics like Dig-Dug but they are a little hard to play and the graphics are not that great.
