Perfect intense arcadey fun that escalates really well. Navigating around the courses being chased by scores of ghosts is really cool and makes the basics of Pac-Man fun for a change, especially when you get a power pellet and gobble up dozens of ghosts in turn. It's flashy and it's fun, exactly what you'd want from this sort of game.
I have always been pretty into Pac-man but found it to be a bit clunky and dated at the same time. This game introduced a new gameplay loop that I got completely hooked on. I know purists hate that it's not traditional Pac-man but it is by far my favorite Pac-man game even if that makes me a filthy casual gamer. (or maybe just a bigger fan of snake than pac-man ;)
My son wanted to play Ms Pac-Man and I told him "it's REALLY hard wee man, you sure?" And after 5 minutes I put him on this instead. Million times happier.
In playing it a bit myself, I'm time warped back to the early 2010s. There's not loads to it and that's absolutely fine? Like, it's pattern memorisation set to banging tunes, but it's also absolutely fucking class. Fuck you, it's Pac Man.
