Knowing how long you're going to go for removes the need to push yourself in the same manner as classic arcade-style Pac-Man games. As cool as morphing mazes and time trials are, there's nothing quite like the experience of taking on level after level in a test of endurance. My only complaint about Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is that there's no “classic” mode. There are even various sets of skins for levels and characters that draw from Pac-Man's sordid past (There's even a Pac-Attack skin!) and others with vibrant neon colors straight out of an LSD-induced dream. Then there's all the nice little things that they've done, like an added speed meter so you can watch the progression of intensity, and a meter that lets you know exactly how much time you have to munch down on ghosties. It's very feng shui.Īll the modes from the previous Championship Edition are back as well, redone with the same treatment, along with new time trials and unlockable challenges for all of them, adding a greater depth of gameplay overall. It strikes an almost perfect balance with the Snake feature. You're also equipped with bombs that will send all the active on-screen enemies back to their central pen and gain you some time that you would've lost with your life. Not only does this present a new challenge to veteran players, it creates a new way to rack up ridiculously high scores as you get longer and longer lines of spooks following behind you. The new ones are the kind that sleep in the maze and start trailing behind you one after the other, giving the game an interesting twist a la the classic Snake.
The first, you're familiar with: the ones that run around the maze trying to corner you.
(Remember Pac-Attack? Look, kids! He can jump now! Ooooooh!) It's true, they were nothing clever, nothing like what they've done this time around.īut now, ghosts appear in two forms. Now I know you're thinking that this game hasn't had any tweaks that were lasting or actually innovative. What we can talk about is what's new and awesome.
