Surprise hit! Pacman VS.
We recently had a chance to try this sucker out and it completely took all of us by surprise, this game is awesome. Playing 4 player rocks, and wavebirds = God for this game due to the controller switching aspect.
The best part about this game is that its ridiculously easy to play so anyone can play, even people who don't normally play games. Everyone knows Pacman. And everyone knows how to play it or can learn in 3 seconds. But the twist they put on the game makes it a ton of fun. It doesn't top Mario Kart for multiplayer IMO, but as free game its surprisingly good, any game that gets us yelling and screaming is a keeper. I got my disc for free without preordering or anything, but I would not be disappointed had I paid for it due to how much we've been playing it
. We also found that it is also another game thats great to play while drinking
. Get this disc by whatever means possible.

Yes I got this disk free at GameStop as well. It is a very fun multiplayer game! I'm hoping Namco/Nintendo decide to make a sequel with even more options/levels/etc. Maybe a 'Ms. Pac-Man Vs.'!

It is great-and free. With Wavebirds is absolutley the way to play. I can't wait for Zelda: Four Swords/Tetra's Trackers. The mind of Miyamoto is a wonderful thing. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is going to be nice too, I just wish the GBA Wireless adapt. came out before.

Its a hit with my family and the multiplayer game we play the most. Much more fun than Mario Party or any other games we have played.
I would love a Ms Pac Man vs. sequel.

It's listed at Gamestop as "I-Ninja Promo", so some Gamestops will ONLY give it with I-Ninja (like the one near my job). Other Gamestops will give them away with any purchase. I asked for one when picking up Time Crisis III.

I stopped by gamestop today and took a look at Pacman World 2/Pacman Vs. The package had the instructions in it and looking through it I noticed that it says you need a GBA and the cable to play Pacman Vs. I have neither.
I'll keep it in mind if I ever get a GBA though.

Honestly, the game works because of the Game Boy connectibility. If everyone could see the whole screen area it just wouldn't work.

After we finished a couple of rounds one of my friends was said "This is a pretty neat idea, its fun!" I was really surprised because she never ever plays games
. Thats why I can't wait for Zelda: Four Swords Plus and Final Fantasy: CC.

You might also try www.ebay.com if you don't want Pac-Man World 2 (cause it sucks).. somebody is bound to have gotten it with some new game and not wanted it.
