Just played it, and it’s WAAAAAY harder that I expected. Why would Namco downgraded Championship Edition DX to the original CE? I mean, the controls are very difficult to handle and the ghost mostly chases after Pac-Man which gives me a 39% chance of finishing a mode in 5-10 full minutes since the Bomb isn’t existed in CE.

So uhh…if DX version will come out instead, more PSP gamers will surely love it. It’s more fun than this.

I say, think of the positive ways of porting games for the PSP.

Pac-Man CE DX is fun, but nowhere near as good as the original CE. So, even if it has taken a few years for this to make it to the PSP, thankfully it is the original. For anybody saying “I already have DX, why would I want this”, they’re completely different games. DX is enjoyable because it makes you feel like you’re a master at the game, but CE is far, far more about real skill, ability, and making the most of every second on the clock.

Also can’t believe the arguments on price. Just because a game is a “mini” doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a set amount.

Regarding the Price for these Minis…

I don’t think we’re sending the right message to Sony when Angry Birds Mini shoots to the top of the Bestsellers list. I was pretty enraged about the price – But it was Angry Birds… on my PSP… goodbye money!

They tested the water with a $3.99 Mini, and a lot of us caved in. I’m sure the $4.99 Pac Man will be too much for many of us to resist either. So yeah… be prepared for $6.99 as Sony keeps testing the ceiling on the prices.

i prefer the DX version. Though i already have my good old ps3 to play ps3 games, and i don’t really want to play it on my psp if i need to rebuy the same game. After all, no portable should be designed more around direct ports more than original ips and games designed for the platform *hinthint!!!NGP!!!nudgenudge*.

$4.99 for a mini!? Playing with fire aren’t you Sony? I still haven’t purchased Angry Birds because the price, considering what your competitors sell it for, is outrageous. This is setting a bad trend, whats next, $6.99?

Nick,
Thanks for the update, that’s very cool, but now, I will ask what no one else has:

“Will myself & my fellow PS PLUS Subscribers, be getting this for free?
