Ms. Pac Man review gamerforlifefor..
In 1980, Pac-Man fever spread like a wildfire throughout the United States. It was so popular that it became one of the most iconic arcade game of all time and became a gaming icon. In 1982, Namco decided they'd make a new version of Pac Man that would appeal to female arcade gamers. That game was named Ms. Pac-Man. Was it as good as the original Pac-Man? I'll tell you with this review.
Graphics: 8/10 The graphics for Ms. Pac Man are about the same as the original, except Ms. Pac Man has eyes and a bow on top of her head. The ghosts look the same, but the level designs have been improved. The walls have improved color in this game than the original. But like the original, the graphics are great for it's time. For these reasons, I'm giving the graphics an 8.
Sound: 5/10 This is the one category where I think Ms Pac-Man falters compared to the original Pac-Man. The sound effects aren't as good as the original and the iconic main theme in Pac-Man was changed to something that is nowhere near as catchy as the theme in the original. For these reasons, I'm giving the sound a 5.
Addictiveness: 10/10 Pac-Man was and still to this day is one of the most addicting video games of all time, which is why the game was so popular. Fortunately, Ms. Pac-Man is equally as addictive as it's predecessor. The objective of the game is to eat all avoid the ghosts and eat all the pellets in order to move onto the next level. There are power pellets that will make you be able to eat the ghosts for a short period of time, which will increase your score. There's also a fruit that'll appear in each level. Collect it and you'll earn more points. You must try and score as many points as you can before eventually dying. Lose all of your lives and it's game over. For younger people, at first glance it may not look that addicting, but once you start playing it you'll be hooked before you know it. For these reasons I'm giving the addictiveness a 10.
Story: N/A Ms. Pac Man doesn't have a story, therefore I'm leaving this category blank.
Depth: 9/10 If you're skilled enough to make it every level in this game, then you'll go through a total of 256 levels. Once you beat all the levels, you restart back at level 1, but your points and lives stay the same. Since there are so many levels, I'm giving the depth a 9.
Difficulty: 8/10 Like the original, Ms. Pac Man is a very tough game that will test your reflexes and your mind. Avoiding the ghosts can get very tricky especially when they're all very close to you. You need to think fast and act fast to survive. If you have a lot of skill with arcade games, you'll make it a long way. If you don't, then you won't make it past very many levels. I'm giving the difficulty an 8 because in my experience, I had a tough time making a lot of progress.
Overall Score: 8.5/10 Overall, Ms. Pac-Man is just as good as Pac-Man. The game still has super addictive gameplay, nice graphics for it's time, plenty of levels, and it's a tough game to master. If it weren't for the music being changed, I'd say it's a better game than Pac-Man. However since it's not, I'm giving the overall score of Ms. Pac-Man an 8.5 out of 10.

my child hood again RMJEtheReploid
oh my graceus lands... you dont hear that from me anymore. and you deffenitly don't hear a story about a 8 year old playing ms.Pac-man at a Laundry mat....ummmm ya. Lets let my inner 8 year old Past come back to life. (yay ewe)
Graphics: 9. Pac-man and Ms.Pac-man graphics are very old BECAUSE, Pac-man was ORIGANALY for the Atari. since i was used to Wii, DS, Ninitndo 64 and a Window's XP graphics, I thought Ms.Pac-man's graphics was Cool. but the problem, for me to see the graphics at age 8, was that I had to stand in a chair to see it so, sometimes the graphics looked bad. I'm rating this a 9 just because for that. :p
sound: 3. Like i said, i was used to music. not "wompa, wompa, wompa. BLEEP WROO WROO WROO. BULM BULM BULM *poof*" So the souns in my oppion is bad. if you like the sound....*-* ummm ok den.
Addictiveness: 1. When i was young the game was so addicting that i begged my mother for money. but now, I rather play mega man 2 power fighters then ms.pac-man...I don't really like Pac-man but, IF THERE GETS TO BEE A PAC-MAN ZOMBIE GAME, I AM GOING TO HIDE IN MY DARK LITTLE WORLD!
Story: i don't know of any 'Story' to ms.pac-man but i made up a little story, for a little kid i was. It when like "Pac-man was stolen by the ghosts and Ms.Pac-man had to save him, by doing what pac-man did, Eat." and that how my story went.
Depth: 8. I think this game has no ending to it. But if it does, i am sure to find out soon (*Troll face* by using the vizzed's Unlimited Coin thing. lol)
Difficulty: 9. The controls are very easy...when you are tall. the game itself is SUPER HARD. i only made it to Level 2, if not Level 3.
Overall: 9.9. The game is Fun, Challenging, and is something Gamers, who play Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto, should defently play. Wether you are 8 years old, standing on a chair and playing it in the laundry mat bothering your mother, or 13 iching for a game that doesn't have her favorite Video Game charter. This is a must try. even a non-so-big Pac-man fan should try this.

The great gender flipped Pac-Man Game! mega man221
Ms Pac-Man is one of the greatest games throughout the Pac-Man franchise. There are plenty of recurring features throughout the Pac-Man franchise such as moving fruit,speedier characters,and it even seems to have made the newer development of the Pac-Man design. The sounds have definitely been improved. I like Ms.Pac-Man's features, the eye and bow, and the story,while basic really put emotion into it, especially for an arcade game. This game of course has downsides like more repetition, but that is common for any 1 screen arcade game. However I do think that this game made many improvements upon Pac-Man. With being a great arcade game along with its story, originality, and importance. I give this game my 8.7 out of 10.
