I'm disappointed to hear that the Arcade Game Series edition of Pac-Man features poor controls that sound like they're the equal of the awful controls Bandai Namco went with for the Xbox 360 version of the game. I'm especially disappointed because I recently purchased Mrs. Pac-Man in that same line, and I suspect the issues will carry over to that. The only reason I bought Mrs. Pac-Man is that it's the most recent version released for any console, and I wanted to make sure I got it. But now I'm suspicious that it may be an awful time. Curses!

You know what's funny? I wouldn't have realized this if it wasn't for the fact that the AGS version was on sale when I was browsing the PSN Store a few weeks back. I bought it on a whim and played it, and I was really confused why I kept getting stuck when I tried making Pac-Man turn in a fast chase. That eventually lead to my curiosity as to how the AA version played. And that pretty much motivated me to write a review for the AA game.

I bought the Ms. Pac-Man game because when Bandai Namco announced its upcoming Pac-Man collection, there were a lot of people complaining because Ms. Pac-Man wasn't part of it, and then a lot of discussion about how @Games has locked down the rights so there isn't a more recent console version than the one I just bought (and may not ever be again). Better safe than sorry, I figured. And yes, large file download sizes for a tiny game make very little sense to me.

At the time, it had appeared to be resolved, with a few smaller outlets reporting the update. I don't remember which outlets. This was a year ago, and it sounds like the uneasy peace of that time was not built to last (or that the outlets reporting otherwise a year ago were mistaken). A Google search right now shows there appear to still be rights issues restricting Bandai Namco from using Mrs. Pac-Man in its compilations and remakes.
