Pac-Mania is a game that was released on many consoles such as, NES, Arcade,and the Sega Master System.The one I will be reviewing today is the one on the Sega Master System which is considered the best to most people. Pac-Mania is like Pac Man game only with better graphics and you cannot see the whole area at one time which can get very confusing in some areas such as the Sandbox. So now I will be reviewing Pac-Mania. Graphics: The graphics for Pac-Mania are good but there are a few problems with them. One problem is in some rounds the pattern can kind of be aggravating on eyes such as in first stage. This may just be me I really do not know. A second problem is with the ghosts. This problem is when you pick up a big pac dot they turn a more lightish blue instead of the classic blue that resembles the arcade version, this is a small problem but it just bugs me for some reason. There are also some new good things about the graphics like when pacman eats a pac dot you can actually see it go in to his mouth unlike before. Not a big new thing but I think it is pretty cool. Another new good thing about the graphics is it is not kind of 3dish when I say 3dish I mean like instead of just going straight up in the game you kind of go in a realistic way so you can kind of see him going up in the background. A final good thing worth mentioning is this one has the best graphics in my opinion of all of the other system's Pac-Mania games. I give the graphics an 8/10 for being good with a few minor problems. Sound: The sound in this game is very addicting to listen to and the noises everything makes are better than before with Pac Man actually having a less arcade like sound of chomping down on ghosts and pac dots. I think it is like a metal sound.The sound is also being better in this game by the game having some actual good to listen to music instead of none like the original Pac Man games. Another thing I like is when you chomp on pac dots you can also hear sort of like the original Pac Man chomping noise. There is also one bad thing about the sound and that is it does not change when you eat a big pac dot but the good part is the music changes some each stage so I guess that is good enough. I give the sound a 9/10. Addictiveness: This game is very addictive if you do not already have a copy of the original Pac Man at your house or even if you do this is a game worth buying because it is more addicting than the original which is pretty addicting.. The music is really easy to listen to for hours on end and the gameplay is just so fun. One of the downsides though is it only has a few rounds you can start from and I am not sure what round is the final round because I have not made past round 5 but round 6 is in the level screen but you cannot choose it so I think it is the final round. So that makes a very limited amount to play making it not as fun as before but the stages you have are still really fun. One thing that makes this game even more addictive is it actually has a round you died unlike the original which just made you start over. This made me rage quit far less times. I give the addictiveness an 8/10 for not having enough stages to really have a ton of fun but offering fun other stages. Story: There really is no story except for short little story clips in between the levels saying stuff like lets go to block town and do something. One of them does not even relate to the story saying avoid the jumping ghosts. I really wish they could have added some more story in to this Pac Man game making it better than all of the rest but they didn't. I would really like to know why Pac Man is going to Block Town. The only thing it says as for the actual story it seems is Pac Man has to escape some new ghosts to continue eating which is a huge disapointment for this game. I give the story a 4/10 for not giving very much story at all that you could not already assume. Depth: Like I said earlier there seems to be not much depth to this game with the rounds looking so limited but I might be wrong considering it says there are secret levels to find and a lot of new worlds to discover. Other than the game of regular old Pac Man it seems there is not much to find or do. I know this was an old game console but it would have been fun to maybe have some mini games featuring Pac Man. I do not know what they what they would be but it would be a cool feature in my opinion. I give the depth a 6/10 for offering some levels to play but not enough variety of stuff to do really. Difficulty: Well the difficulty is decent. Not overly hard but not overly easy. It all just depends on how the ghosts are feeling really like sometimes you have been running from a ghost for like 20 seconds (Which is a long time in game) and it almost has you when you make one last turn and it turns the other way. I find this kind of relieving for you but kind of stupid for the ghost to do when it is like less than a centimeter away from you. Though this game can be pretty hard with more than 4 ghosts out at a time, I think there are at least. One thing that also makes this game hard is all the places where the ghosts can trap you and make it so there is no place to run. I give the difficulty a 6/10 for being hard when it wants to be. Overall: I think you should really try this game out and play it. It is a good way to pass the time when you are bored and you can get addicted to it pretty easily. That is why I give Pac-Mania a 7.6/10. Man game only with better graphics and you cannot see the whole area at one time which can get very confusing in some areas such as the Sandbox.
