Average game, but not worth the trouble to learn.
I bought this game because I liked the description, but I have to say, it's disappointing in most areas.
First off, the graphics are not very good. Your characters look abstract and somewhat grainy.
Secondly, learning the different controls for each event is rather difficult. Once, you get them down, you do okay, but it's easy to get frustrated if you can't pick up the process or have trouble understanding it quickly.
Third, when you compete in events where you have to run, you cannot focus on tapping the footprints when needed and monitoring your location in the race at the same time. For example, to run quickly, you have to tap the footprints when the gray bar is in the middle of the foot. While you do this, you cannot look at the top screen to see where you are positioned in the race, nor can you see if you are near the finish line. That is a bit frustrating.
Overall, I would rate this game as barely average. If you want to give it a try, don't pay more than $10 dollars.

Like the old Atari 7800 games, just smaller!
1 of 1 found this helpful The main menu of this game has four options to choose from: Pac-Man vs; Arcade; Demo; and Library. The arcade selection is where the action is. You can play the following games:
-1979 version of Galaxian
-1980 version of Pac-Man
-1981 version of Galaga
-1982 version of Xevious
-1983 version of Mappy
-1984 version of The Tower of Druaga
-1985 version of Dig Dug II
When you double tap on a game, you have a lot of options. You can give yourself more lives and choose when to receive extra lives based on your score from the game settings menu. When you are done, select confirm and then tap the unpause game button. In most cases, a green pop up screen will appear telling you to press the START button to begin the game. This portion of the menu is a little unusual. You have to mess with each game in the same way. Kids may find this confusing.
Most of the games themselves are just like the atari 7800 games, except smaller. I rated this game as excellent for that reason alone and really enjoyed most of the games. I especially like the fact that you can get five lives on the games, which is a welcome option. Dig Dug II, Mappy, and The Tower of Druaga were my least favorite. Overall, I was very pleased with this game and felt spending up to $25 dollars (not including shipping) was worth it.

Fast processing speed
1 of 3 found this helpful The PS5 is noticeably much faster loading online games than the PS4. The unit itself is bigger and wider. As far as graphics, I can’t tell any difference and I have a 4K Sony tv. I also feel that the storage capacity could be at least as good as my PS4, but since it’s not, I bought additional storage for it. I paid double the original price, but I understand the downside of supply and demand, so that’s how it goes. For me, the PS4 does the job. So, mainly, I got the PS5 incase my old unit fails. Until that happens, there’s really no significant difference between these units that I can see.
