Pac Man is arguably video gaming's first ever mascot. Created by Namco and released into the arcades in America in October 26, 1980. The game is simple enough. Eat pellets and avoid the ghosts. Eat a power pellet however and the ghost turn blue for a period of time allowing you to eat them. collect 10,000 points and you will earn an extra life. So do i think the game is worth your time to play? Short answer is yes. Let us see how I got to that answer with the following 7 points.   Graphics 6: The graphics, while detailed for the time, are pretty simple by today's standards. That's not to say that it isn't bad to look at. Not at all. What I'm saying is that even for the time they were basic and simple. I will say that the ghost along with Pac Man (while being basic) are still pleasing to look at.   Sound 8: The sounds of the game are really well done. Yeah it can be argued that the same sound for eating the pellets might get old after awhile, but i still found them pleasing to hear. The one loop of music that plays before you start a stage or after you die has a way to get stuck in your head even after you stop playing.   Addictiveness 5: The games addictiveness is in the middle. What that means is depending on play style the game could be worth playing over and over again. Or you could play it once and never bother playing it again.   Story 0: There is no story. Literally none. Its Pac-Man all you do is eat pellets and fruit and avoid ghosts. That is it.    Depth 1: The game hardly has any depth to it at all. The game boasts of 255 different mazes. All that really means is you'll see the same maze over and over again with the only difference being the ghost get fast each time. If you do manage to get to the 255th maze you will get to the now infamous ''kill screen''. That means you cannot complete the game at all.   Difficulty 9: The game may start out easy but it gets frantic pretty quickly. By the time you reach stage 10 is when it starts showing how frantic and challenging the game gets.   Overall 4.1: Over all the game is fun. But like I said in my review for Donkey Kong its not a game you'll spend a lot of time on. In fact just like Donkey Kong, its a game you will play just to kill some time. Prior to my review I got through the first 10 stages before i had to quit due to complete boredom.   Final Thoughts. Do i recommend this game?That is a bit tough to answer. While on one hand I do if you have never played it before and want to see how Pac-Man got his start. On the other hand I am going to have to say no due to the fact that you will get bored seeing the same maze layout over and over again.

I'm closing this because the review has poor formating i.e, no paragraphs.
