"Get 4 people and this game will be a blast!"

Pac-man Vs:

I got this game with Pac-man World 2. I hadn't tried it for a few days, but then I dug up Gameboy cables, (which I hadn't used since Zelda Four Swords, for GC.) and had my friends over to play multiplayer games. We must have played Pac-man Vs. for 3 Hours! We took turns playing as te ghosts and Pac-man, kicking each other's butts! The only problem is that it is only multiplayer. No single player at all, fortunately, it comes with Pac-man World 2. In Vs. you can have 2-4 players, one has Pac-man, 1-3 as ghosts. Pac-man uses the GBA cable, and everyone else uses controllers. At a price of two games in one for only 20 dollars, it's a steal.

Gameplay: A-

I love the classic Pac-man feel. Now the Ghosts are actually smart, because they are human players. There are only 6 stages, but it doesn't really matter, the only difference of levels is the layout of dots, and power pellets. 4 player is where it truly shines. 2-3 players is good, but when you have 4 players, the fun never stops. You'll keep saying "just one more match!" because it's just too good.

Graphics: B

The Gameboy Advance screen is like classic 2D Pac-man graphics like on Pac-man or Ms. Pac-man. The Ghost's screen is in fully 3D. The character's are basic, but come on, it's Pac-man. Pac-man is just a circle with a face and the ghosts are in 3D but they too are like the classic. Just eyes. Overall, the graphics are good enough for me.

Sound: C-

I don't pay attention to the sound, neither does anyone I know, I don't know about you, but i'd give it a 7/10.

Control: A+

Perfect. Mainly because the only thing on the controller that you need to use is the control stick. (And the Start and A buttons, but only on the menu screen.) These controls are simple enough for anyone to pick up and play. A four year old could probably play this game. Maybe even a three year old.

Replay Value: A+

Overall: A-

Rent or Buy: Depends. Pac-man fans: buy. Platformer fans: Buy. Party game fans: rent, party fans would love Pac-man Vs. But If they don't lik platformers, like World 2, they probably don't want to spend $20 on Vs.
