Of the games released, critics were generally less than pleased with this game. One primary argument that critics had was that Pac-Man Collection, a game that was also for the Game Boy Advance, had already been released, contained four games instead of one (including this title), and had the same price tag of $20. GameCube Advance stated that Namco Museum was also a far better buy as it contained Ms. Pac-Man along with a few other Namco games. Pac-Man itself can be deemed unnecessary for this series, as it has seen countless releases onto various consoles since its inception.
