Ms. PAC-MAN by Namco

It's Ms Pacman. Doesn't really need much of a review. Love was put into this though, and worth the buy. No game overs and you can always choose what level to start out on up to the level you're currently on so if you lose all lives you can jump right back in it. Controls are very responsive in my opinion. You can swipe what direction you want to turn before you get there and it'll turn for you, and I haven't had any mis swipes yet.

This game was my favorite growing up. I can't tell you how many quarters I used playing this game so when I downloaded this app I was very excited. The game itself is very similar to the retro arcade game with lights sounds even the fruit bouncing up and down. But I have to agree with everyone else the controls need a gamepad swiping is just too hard and I don't remember the power pellets stopping after level 17 I mean it's kind of stupid to have them then. I wish they would fix this

BUYER BEWARE... The glitches will vex your nerves. The controller often moves every way EXCEPT the way you directed it. The Pac-man will freeze up periodically and you have to wait as the ghost gobbles you up. If you uninstall and reinstall it you'll, get the same results. It's hit or miss at best. I bought the download about 6yrs ago and these glitches continues to exist. They've had years to improve the program but haven't. I no longer enjoy this version and may have to explore other versions.

The question I would want to ask is did the developers even play this game. Just like everyone else has said, after several levels it's almost impossible. You spend all 3 lives and most of your continues to get through one level. The swipe controls are not the best and even if you change it in the settings, it doesn't really help much. This could be so much more fun if they would have made it a little more fair as far as the ghosts go. Dont waste your money. It's not quite like the original.

Don't know why companies screw with a game that is so loved. Power ups don't last after only 1 level. Ghosts are faster than player. Controls are so awful don't even bother. You have to swipe over an inch to change direction which makes taking a turn impossible. Better off playing a clone. Complete failure and lack of effort making a lazy port. If it had been done right I would have gladly paid more.

Many folks are right the ghosts are quite fast even on the initial levels, and the swipe controls will get a player nowhere fast. However now that I have my game controller for my phone it's now more like playing the arcade! One shouldn't need to buy a controller for more precise movements but man nothing is ever perfect lol! Other than that, this is every inch my old pizza parlor favorite 😋

At first I was super excited about this game, but quickly disappointed. The ghosts are way too fast and only stay blue for five seconds (literally) its not at all comparable to how the real game was. I get it has to be challenging but it also should be fun not nearly impossible. Im swiping on a phone not using a controller. I really hope the developer will do an updtate and fix this and Id be happy to adjust my rating!

The controls are frustrating. They're totally inaccurate & the entire game is retro & it gets annoying after a while. No options to change game play. I've played Pacman for years and to this day, that app always has bugs. Bandai has horrible tech support. File a report & they make it nearly impossible because ur required to send I'd numbers related to game. Ridiculous. They ignore requests to fix.

Played Ms Pacman as a kid so I've known this game a very long time. Similar to original but more difficult. Finger slide very inaccurate as the pacman doesn't always move in the direction you want. Pacman time and again doubles back into the ghost. Ghosts are also way to fast, much faster than the original. Something to pass the time but alote of improvements required to equal the original. I would not recommend this purchase.

Ms pacman is faster than the original game. The controls are fine and joystick is the best one to use by tapping not swiping. The game is harder due to the abnormally faster speed and touch screen controls. They ruined something that would otherwise be a perfect port.

The controls are awful. You'll swipe one way and the game will go another. Other times you swipe and it'll get stuck. I have a regular Pac-Man game and the controls on that one are much smoother.

Some of you never played pac man and it shows. Power pellet timers are almost exactly how they were in the original. The game runs fine, although the controls leave a lot to be desired.

My experience has been much different than most of these reviews.This is the Ms Pacman from 1981, but better.There are, I believe, 3 difficulty settings (easy, normal, and original but don't quote me on that). Easy starts out with more lives and longer power-up times after you eat a Power Pellet.The game even trumps its epicness by allowing you to pick up a fresh game from where you lost. I attached an OG Atari 2600 4 way controller to my tablet, and I have the exact look and feel of the past!

Controls are fine. I adjusted sensitivity to high and had no problems. Contrary to what someone else wrote you can exit the game. Nice to have the game with no ads or microtranssctions.

Great game...other than that...the speed is horrible...right from the begging it starts you off on level 6 speeds. You eat a pellet and you only have like less than 3 seconds to eat all 4 ghost....terrible....just terrible speeds....dissapointing

Doesn't work, had to uninstall. I'd like to know what devices people are using who gave this game good ratings. I've had several devices & the controls & swiping never work. Yes, I have played the original game. If also like to know why some people have given the App 4 & 5 stars, BUT then go on to say how it does NOT WORK. Talk about nonsense.

I really really love this game, however, it it really hard to play without a joystick. I wish i would have seen the demo before i bought it. But i was so excited about it. Im truely bummed. Im still giving it 5 stars though.

As good as it once was. You feel transported back to the eighties. Only quibble I have is the game does not support or won't connect to achievements.

It's a shame the developers don't read these reviews! I just bought this game to enjoy but I can't because there are so many glitches that make the game uneasy to play. I'm having the same issues as everyone else. I'm going to uninstall and move forward with a different game. For those who think of downloading this game, don't! Trust me, It's a waste of time and money!

All of a sudden the big dots no longer turn the ghosts blue and edible... I uninstalled and downloaded it again, but it still won't work and I have the paid version. Please fix.

Update 4TH/NOV/2018: Still no Ipega Wireless Bluetooth JoyPad Support for Pac-Man & Pac-Man 256. However Support Still Stands for Ms. Pac-Man & Pac-Man CE DX. But its such a shame to the PAC-MAN Legacy, that Bandai don't care enough to simply update these Apps with the correct support! After what Bandai Namco Entertainment, did to My Favourite goto Android game Pac-Man following an update. Which i only found out about, earlier today (Tues/25th/2018). I'm over the moon, that Ms. Pac-Man, is still the Amazing Retro Classic, that it always has been. With no nonsense. And especially since my Ipega bluetooth controller, still works like a dream on it, too. So for now, i'm happy with it. So i hope BNE, don't touch it at all. Because why would you mess, with perfection!?!

Its kinda fun to play but its very hard to manuever. Its very hard for Ms. Pacman to turn. I wish there was a joystick or tactile controls.

Like it very nostalgic. Takes me back to the old 80s-90s putting the quarter in the old arcade game and playing a round at the laundry mat waiting for clothes to dry. Ahh good memories. Like seeing a old friend.

Arcade perfect, really fun to use easy-to-use controller compatible and the full experience in the palm of your hand!
