What players say
It's the Ms. Pac-Man arcade game, and it just works. Does the file size need to be that big for a border and a menu? Probably not but it's not the end of the world. In the end you get to play Ms. Pac-Man like it's the 1980s again, but without all of the hairspray.
2 more reviews
Plays decent, authentic sounds, however, Ms Pac-Man floats around and is difficult to change directions quickly. Controls are not 100% accurate. It is still fun to play
Whether you have a few minutes or want to spend hours chasing a new personal best, it's always fun to jump into.
