Both are harder than the original and require different methods to beat the game. Read less

Namco Museum's third volume has the most games, and also happens to feature perhaps the most impressive lineup of the entire PS1 series. With Ms. Pac Man, Dig Dug, and Galaxian, three huge Namco releases on their own right, included here, it's easily worth the $6 asking price on PSN. However, you'll also get the quirky puzzler Phozon, which I liked an awful lot; The Tower of Druaga, an early action-RPG that was huge in Japan in its day but is quite clunky and confusing now; and Pole Position II, the weakest game (for me) on the roster but may be fun for people who actually like racing titles. In short, while the limitations of the PS1 disc size limit Namco's comps to fairly scant releases, this is a very solid mix of games that fans of the 80s arcade scene ought to check out.
