What's this? Do I see a Game of the Year contender? ^___^

Post by: fluffymoochicken on November 08, 2010, 02:01:33 am: Yeah, the original game was indeed awesome. ^__^ I've got it on Namco Virtual Museum, which is one of the best compilations money can buy, seriously.

I'll be buying this version of the game as well.

Post by: fluffymoochicken on November 08, 2010, 03:08:12 pm: Say wha? How would this be more difficult than the classic games? All the ghost train does is follow the player (not try to cut them off, like Pinky and Blinky would), plus you get "bombs" for this style of play that can save you in a sticky situation.

I think you should give it a chance first.

Hopefully it just looks a bit tricky.

There are 3 reviews avaliable for the game, and it seems this is the GOTY 2010.

You know how Pac-Man Championship Edition seemed like the perfect Xbox Live Arcade game? Yeah, they made it even better. Somehow, gaming's oldest mascot is delivering one of the most exciting games of the year. More mazes, more modes, more ghosts...lots more ghosts, actually. This "deluxe" version takes everything that made Championship Edition great and adds a bunch of cool new stuff. It's like taking a great white shark and adding laser beam eyes and saw blades that shoot out of its mouth.
It looks like this game is most certainly in the race with Sonic Colors for GOTY 2010. ^__^

Most of the fun is trying to get the longest possible chains going.

Precisely! ^__^

The point of playing these games isn't to have an EXTREME CHALLENGE difficulty wise, it's to challenge yourself to get as high a score as possible. It's a game that's 100% about scores. Plus, it's really fun to boot! ^__^

Post by: Chaosmaster8753 on December 22, 2010, 09:59:09 pm: This is really fun, even if too easy (though I don't think the 360's d-pad is the best thing to play Pac-Man with.)
