Editorial Review
Ms. Pac-Man is one of the most successful arcade games of all time--and for good reason. This coin-snatching classic has captured the hearts of millions--and still can be found in many arcades. Now, with Ms. Pac-Man Special Color Edition, you can bring this title's classic gameplay to your Game Boy.

All of the gameplay elements found in the original Pac-Man are present here. Eat the dots. Avoid the ghosts. Grab a power pellet. Gobble those ghosts! Still, Ms. Pac-Man added many new twists to the Pac-Man series--and they are all faithfully re-created here. There are multiple mazes to conquer and several new fruit prizes to consume. As always, you can use warp tunnels to quickly pass from one side of the maze to the other, and view cut-scenes once certain levels are bypassed. The controls are extremely responsive, letting you ditch those pesky ghosts with ease.

As if Ms. Pac-Man wasn't enough, Namco also threw in a copy of Super Pac-Man, which adds even more features to the gameplay. Both versions can be played from either a zoomed-out perspective that displays the entire maze, or a zoomed-in view that has much better graphics but displays only about a quarter of the maze at a time. This is a good translation of a revered classic that is likely to spend much time in your Game Boy Color. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

  • Retains classic gameplay of the arcade hit
  • Also includes bonus game Super Pac-Man
Cons:
  • Zoomed-out mode is very tiny

4 out of 5 stars Hand-held arcade   April 24, 2003
Based on the arcade game, Ms. Pacman is very entertaining The object is to eat all the pellets. Power pellets enable you to eat the ghosts. The only thing I don't like about it is that once you lose all of your lives, you have to start from the beginning again!


5 out of 5 stars The best game ever!   March 29, 2003
My 6 year old loves this game she said, "The best part of the game is eating all the dots and making it to the next level". Super packman is included as a bonus -- definitely a plus! You can't go wrong with an (OG) classic.


4 out of 5 stars A great classic that provides hours of fun!   August 5, 2002

This game is really fun to play, even though it gets repetitive after a while. The Gameboy game is just like the original Ms. Pacman that many of you have played in arcades before. It involves trying to eat all of the Pac Dots in a maze while running away from colorful ghost creatures. As dull as this may sound, it can provde hours of fun as you work your way through over twenty levels and try to earn movie clips along the way. Unfortunately, every level is almost exactly the same besides more valuable fruits and slightly different pathways. Also, the high score resets itself every single time you turn off your Gameboy. So if you want friends or siblings to compete with your scores, you need to simply rely on honesty.

Along with the Ms. Pacman game I have just described, there is also Super Pacman, a great added bonus! Super Pacman comes with Ms. Pacman, but it is a completely different game that involves using keys to unlock Pac Dots. Sadly, it is also very repetitive and the high scores still don't save! But overall, Ms. Pacman for Gameboy Color is an awsome game that can add hours of entertainment to a boring car ride, and it definitly deserves to be bought!

Great game, but not as a gameboy game. After 30 minutes of play, I got a blister on my thumb.
