Squeaky and Difficult Controller Challenges Game Play
Pac-Man is a fun game, but only when you can move the controller with predictable ease. So yes, I am chiming in with the same basic criticism as another reviewer - the controller is difficult.

The games on here are not standard fare. Pac-Man is probably the only readily recognizable game. The others are variations on Pac-Man that were released in the early 1980s. They include Pac-Man Plus (this is a very fast Pac-Man with some extra surprises thrown in.) Next there is Super Pac-Man with a giant and fast Pac-Man. And finally there is Pac & Pal which seems very Japanese in its quirkiness. All of these games are fun in their own ways, so enjoy them.

Keep in mind these arcade games are fun, but only after you master the stubborn and unresponsive controller. To navigate turns you must forcefully move the joystick before (not at) the actual turns. This becomes very annoying and hard on the hands. In addition the joystick will soon become quite squeaky from all the heavy-handed use.

The concept for the game is great and it is definitely fun after mastering the cantankerous controller.

A bit too difficult for young kids
I bought this for my kids for Xmas but they don't play with it much because it's frustratingly difficult for them. My kids are 8 and 6 and used to playing video games. Even I find it a little hard and not so motivating because I can only get so far before the game turns too frantic.
