THE FACTS: Pac Man Virtual Console - NES | 1-2 Players (alternating) | Out Now | 500 Wii Points (£3.50 Online) Controller compatibility: Wii remote; Classic Controller; GameCube Controller  Who's never played Pac Man before? Honestly, now? Exactly. Everyone has played at least one form of the game, be it the original, a mobile phone version or a flash rip-off on the internet (talking of which...). This NES version is Pac Man as we all know and love. He goes around that same grid collecting the same old pac dots making his usual "Wacca Wacca" sounds whilst running away from the ghosts (and then subsequently eating them with the help of a mega-dot. All of the ghosts have their own personalities (some are cowardly and some are real chasers), and there is still the hidden skill required by the player to get further than the first three or four levels (all of which are the same but faster every time), but otherwise that's about it. If you love Pac Man, then we'd recommend this (despite the controller sometimes not responding immediately) but since it is just the same old level over and over and over with some basic but not-very-enticing presentation, you'd probably be better off playing it online for free. Final Score 20/30 Okay Gameplay 8 Almost faultless gameplay in the game of hidden tactics Presentation 7 Clear, suited style and easy to read, it's just a bit dull and lifeless Enjoyment 3 If you're a Pac Man aficionado then you'll enjoy it. There just isn't much to it, really Other 2 It's a great game, just very repetitive. Different level layouts would have made this better |
