Ovi Gaming Review:
Phone Used For Review - Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (games may be different on different phone models)
Gameplay - Ms. Pac-Man is a port of the 1981 coin-op arcade machine of the same name, and features gameplay that's extremely similar to the first Pac-Man. You try to gobble all the dots in a maze, the ghosts chase you, and power pills reverse the situation.
Graphics - It's a fairly authentic reproduction of the coin-op with the same mazes as the original cabinet.
Sound - A few snatches of music here and there with the odd sound effect, but on the whole this game is mostly silent.
Multiplayer & Online - The official blurb for Ms. Pac-Man on Ovi Store talks about a multiplayer Bluetooth mode but this reviewer was unable to find it in the game.
Overall - If you're hankering after a copy of Ms. Pac-Man for nostalgic reasons, go ahead and buy this game. However, those without rose-tinted glasses may want to avoid this as it's yet another repackaging of a game that's almost 30 years old, with nothing new to offer at all. It's playable of course, but it's been played so often before.
