It has the homing power, chaining ability, and generous hit detection of Sonic's post-Adventure homing attack, and bouncing from enemy to enemy in snappy lines feels fantastic. Whether that's a delightful discovery or a deal-breaker will depend on your taste for us at least, the simple platforming strikes a comforting chord.įitting for the original ghost-gobbler himself, Pac's main attack is a satisfying chomp. Gameplay wise, Pac-Man's latest adventure is a 3D platformer that hearkens back to the Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast days: you'll hop, bop, and double-jump your way through levels, defeating enemies, navigating floating chains of disappearing platforms, solving very simple puzzles, and grabbing a whole heap of different collectables on the way to the goal. Told through short voiced cutscenes and dialogue sequences between Pac, his friends, and the delightfully named scientist Sir Cumference, the story is a pun-filled ride through cartoon tropes that will be fun for kids, without distracting too much from the action at hand.

Like the TV series it's based on, Ghostly Adventures tasks a teenage Pac-Man - the sole carrier of the ghost-munching power of the ancient Yellow Ones - with saving Pac-World from a spectral invasion at the hands of the suitably evil-sounding Betrayus, Lord of the Ghosts and King of the Netherworld. Ghostly Adventures the game might not be Pac's finest ever accomplishment, but this simple, thoughtfully-designed 3D platformer will be a blast for fans of the show, and well worth a look for everyone else.

Most recently, he's been the star of a new computer-animated children's television show Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, the inspiration behind Pac's first foray onto the Wii U. He's munched Power Pellets on dozens of different platforms since his 1980 debut, starred in platform games on the Super Nintendo, raced go karts on the GameCube, had a Top-10 single on the US charts, and even worked under the baton of Mario maestro Shigeru Miyamoto in the superb Pac-Man Vs. As gaming's original icon, Pac-Man has enjoyed a long and varied career.
