Those gripes aside, there’s simply no reason for a gamer not to own Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. It’s an absolutely hypnotic experience, one that simply feels good to play, whether in short bursts or as an alien-abduction-like time-eater. It’s a game that’s as timeless as the original, and while it probably won’t reinvigorate Pac-Man as a cultural phenomenon, it’s certainly an amazing step towards making the series relevant again.
If you're the kind of player who can't stop chasing high scores, there's potentially limitless fun with this one -- and with the prospect of more add-on content in the future, Namco can potentially keep this fresh for a long time. A nigh-perfect example of how to modernize a classic, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+ deserves a place in every gamer's collection. The only thing missing now is a portable version.
Namco Bandai have produced a stunning 21st century re-imaging of the classic formula, and have allowed a new generation of player to get comfortable with a game that many younger users would quickly dismiss. In fact, the only way we can fault this title is if we imagine Pac-Man is chomping down schools of young children. Fortunately, he’s not, as the ingenious update to the arcade classic effortlessly eats its way into the elite of 2010.
