![]() ![]() Though a few of the included games are noticeably weaker than others, their inclusion is still welcome – I’d much rather have the opportunity to try out a lesser title that I’ve never had the chance to play, rather than let it linger in obscurity. So what of the included games themselves? Namco have compiled 14 games into this collection, featuring several classics – and familiar, but not necessarily amazing titles – as well as some more obscure entries. The console-originated (as opposed to arcade) games feature as selectable titles from a console rather than a dedicated arcade cabinet, which works fine. Though you can access each game in the compilation via a menu, it’s much more fun to populate your arcade with machines and actually interact with them to play each game (with my dogged need for order, I have ensured that I’ve lined up the machines in chronological order in my in-game arcade!). Characters from the games wander around your arcade, with more of them earned as you progress through the various titles included. Thankfully, one of the things that Pac-Man Museum Plus gets right is going back to the classic Pac-Man look for its hub, which takes the form of an arcade which you can decorate yourself with machines, consoles and other Pac-Man paraphernalia that’s earned and purchased from in-game vending machines. This meant that its hub – and the world which you were collecting objects and characters for when making progress through the games – was based on the awful designs in that CGI cartoon monstrosity. The 2014 Pac-Man Museum was an excellent compilation – but it had the misfortune of being launched while the horrendous animated misfire Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures was being broadcast.
