Pac-man (XBLA)

[Adamo]

Hope no one else posted this, first post!

I played on this earlier and yes, it is PAC-MAN, strangely I've gone through a few ghosts somehow and I'm not sure exactly how, very strange I say! But it's fun and the leaderboards will add to this a lot.

It was possible to go through ghosts in the original arcade version, especially at corners, but also on the straights, I believe. Something to do with changing direction just as you're about to get caught.

I hear that it has the same feature as the other recent Namco release ... you can restart from the last level you got to. So 99% of people are just gonna hammer the achievement points and cast it aside.

This is the first xbla game I'm definitely not interested in, especially cos I already have a version on NGPC, PC/PS2/xbox1 (mame) and xbox360 already (rr6) ... a great little game back in the day, tho.

it s waste of 400 points, but im getting it, for the leaderboards, like you say i have it on RR6, so its a waste, but hey i like the backgrounds so im going to waste ?3 on this.

Downloaded the demo (I always download the demo no matter what the game) and it's okay. It's pacman, the achievements involve literally completely levels and getting the fruit on that level, up to level 21. I'm never gonna get that far, nor would I want to!

Nice idea, since its a classic. It's priced right but still...meh. Won't be buying this one

Yeah, I had a look at it, was worth the download but spending 400 points on this just seems a waste. Good in its hayday (about the first game I ever played) but not really worth the 10 minutes I would probably play it for before thinking time to put on PD0 or GRAW.

It isn't hard to reach level 21 since you start from the last level you reached like in Galaga (or from whatever level you like).

Ah so in essence the real deal here is 400 MS Points for 200 achievement points!

[sj33]

Is this identical to the one in RR6 then, bar achievements?

[arcnas]

No its got a lovely Pac Man border, but thats about it, in terms of value, its ok, ive spent 2 hours on it so far and like it, and if you look at the marketplace 260 points for bomberman pictures, this is good value compared to that.

I don't care about gamerpoints so for me it's 400 whatever for the bragging rights of a massive high-score.

I'll never beat the score I got on my old phone mind... just over 100k. The speed capped out at stage 5 or so though so I could have probably gone on forever had I both the battery power and patience.
