Pac-Man Championship Edition Review by: thing1 - 8.5/10
Championship Edition? I don't see any tournamentsChampionship Edition? Alright, I guess I can check it this out for a mere $5.00 . Oh, six different maps? That's it... Really? -_-
GRAPHICS: 9 ( For Pac-Man, it's pretty good)
For this game being a Pac-Man game, it's pretty good. I remember one time specifically I was doing Extra Mode 2, and I grabbed a Power Pellet. The screen went all trippy, but in a good way. It was kind of cool looking. Definitely unique for a Pac-Man game.
SOUND: 8 ( Lot's of Unique Sound? Gets a good rating from me )
This game has the normal Pac-Man sounds, and they go where they are supposed to go, sot hat automatically gets it a 4. But the reason I gave it an 8 was because there are unique sounds in this game. When the timer goes down a full minute, there is a sound for that. When you are in the final 15 seconds ( or 30... one of the two ), there is a sound for that. Each "map" has it's own music.
The sound is this game is unique compared to other Pac-Man games I have played.
ADDICTIVENESS: 8 ( Surprisingly High, but I will give credit where it is due )
Any Pac-Man game is going to be addictive in some kind of way. This one, though... It's got a certain factor that makes you keep wanting to come back to try to beat each mode, if not at least once. They make the game difficult like any Pac-Man game, but way each "map" is set up in just interesting.
STORY: 5 ( Not really a story in the game, but meh, whatever )
There really isn't a story in this game other than beat the modes, so I'll just leave this section at that.
DEPTH: 3 ( It's Pac-Man... Need I say more? )
The reason I gave it 4 in this department instead of a 2 or even a 1 is because of the way the maps are. They make you think, instead of just trying to get points... You actually have to survive for the time periods.
UPDATE ON DEPTH RATING: I had to change the depth from a 4 to a 3. I decided to do this mostly in part because after i finally beat the last " map " that I need to beat, I really haven't touched it since, except to keep my little brother occupied for a few minutes one day. So, this game has very little replay value for me. It's just surviving for a few minutes on each map. That's it.
DIFFICULTY: 7 ( For a Pac-man, this is hard... but a fun hard )
For a Pac-man title, this game is somewhat hard. But, believe it or not, it is a fun kind of hard. You will get down to 3 minutes left on the 3rd choice of the 6, and you'll be all "This is it... I am finally going to make it!", and in that moment, you mess up, and allow the Ghosts to trap you, on your last life, no less.
So while this game is difficult, it is a fun kind of difficult.
