Pac-Man Championship Edition for Xbox Live.
« on: Thursday, June 07, 2007, 06:54:57 PM »
Man, reading it makes me miss my Pac-Man days!  Anybody tried it out?  It's probably small, so I might actually be able to download this to my memory stick.  That'd be kinda' nice.

Damn that seems pretty cool, I can see one of my friends getting this on his 360, so maybe I'll get a chance to play it.

That actually looks cool too. I dig the mix of the old pixel art with sharp glowy effects. Pretty brilliant really, considering how the original games looked on an arcade screen.

I have the trial version.  It's good.  PacMan mechanics with pretty artwork.  It's continuous, although since it's only 3 minutes before it times out, I don't know if eventually it gives you new mazes.  (I think it does, from what I read.)  As you eat up everything in sight, new areas of dots and fruit will pop up in the maze.  You then go after those, and so on.  At $10 without having to leave this chair, it's tempting.

Edit:  Having read the review, now I'm not as tempted.  All the modes are timed, with emphasis on scoring big points in a short time.  I had assumed the meat of the game was still endless survival.  I'm in no hurry here.  I'll just hold off for a bit until I get a better feel for where my dime would be going.

I caught some MS Points on sale at Target and I'm considering dropping 800 points on this.  Did anyone ever bite?  If so, what do you think of the game?

Yes.  I did.  This is the definitive PacMan game, direct from the PacMan author.  If you like PacMan, you must have this.

Edit:  This review saves me a lot of thinking and typing.  :)

I believe I posted on this a long while back when it first came out. Its awesome and super addictive, I was surprised nobody else seemed to get into it.
