If you are looking for an easy S rank then this is the game for you, took me around an hour. doesnt hurt that the game is pretty fun either.

Yep, I just S-ranked it myself. But getting all of the achievements puts you nowhere near playing all of the content of the game. Every level has around 15 variations and different challenges, each with variable settings, and you're eating hundreds of ghosts and going really fast and more ghosts are waking up and it just gets faster and faster and FASTER AND FASTER AND MORE GHOSTS AND FRUIT AND FASTER AND  - 
 
*Head explodes*

Lol true, i didnt mean to insinuate a lack of content, ive been playing highway for a while, probably my favourite mode thus far

Ah I literally just downloaded this, and got 4 achievements in my first game. I coulda got more if I had known what the others were.

Played for about an hour and got the S-Rank. 
"No bombs" was the most difficult, because I accidently kept using bombs when ghosts were too close.

" Played for about an hour and got the S-Rank.  "No bombs" was the most difficult, because I accidently kept using bombs when ghosts were too close. "

I've S-ranked it already too, but that game would be worth the ten bucks even if it didn't have points.

Yup, fairly simple S-rank, but this game is all about the points! I'm gonna start knocking out some good scores, and playing some of those other challenges.

Im going to get it when I get the $10 from that October deal they had.

I just bought this, booted it up and got the S-Rank in one session. Never really played Pac-Man before either. However, it was so much pure fun. Went on to clear all challenges on Championship II. I guess technically you've cleared the game after clearing all challenges for all levels (maps? cabinets?). But really it's all about improving your score on the leaderboards and challenging friends. I love the XBLA games that are totally pick-up-and-play like this.

Most fun I've ever had getting an S-Rank.

GoTY

I also got the game free because of that October deal!  
The original Pac-Man CE was my first ever S Rank. I spent two nights in a row playing nothing but that and finally got it. Man, it was fun. I'm sort of glad this'll be an easy S Rank (I already got 5 cheevos without trying), but I also think I'll miss that long hunt. 
What a great game so far.

Played the Trial and instantly bought. Just about to have my first game when I noticed this thread on the front page of Giantbomb. Can always use another S-Rank. :)

Okay I'm going to be the guy that asks the question. PAC-Man to me is fun in small doses but does the game really do that much different stuff? Does the new modes really keep the game fresh? Is it a headache with the 360 d-pad? And on a similar note, anybody looking forward to bejeweled 3?

" @mau64: The dpad wasn't annoying, especially the way pacman controls.  I played this game for a solid 4 hours tonight until I was too sleepy and my thumbs started throbbing.  One of my thumbs still hurts today.  can't squeeze a stress ball with that hand.  So yeah, worth it. "

The 1M points in a 5 min score attack is a bit of a challenge, but the game keeps the tradition of the first game's really easy Achievements alive and well. 
 
Fortunately, this is a really awesome game.

Still did not get my 800 points from october to get this

The first game is my only S-Rank other than Dash to Destruction (which doesn't count, right?) and was super easy. I'm actually kind of disappointed that this appears to be even easier since I know I'll be playing the hell out of it.  The one bad thing about achievements is that (for me) after an S-Rank I'm not as motivated to keep playing. Having one or two super-tough ones on a stick would be nice. 
 
I'll take the 200 easy points though!

Nearly have the S Rank, but I'm proud to say I'm 15th in the world on Highway Score Attack (10 min.)! Highway is such an awesome course - I haven't even got to try the others yet! 25th out of over 5000 in the whole of Highway - suuper pleased :D

This maybe a really stupid question, but what do you have to do to get the completed game achievement? 
  
In one session I played every variant of the first map. 
2nd session I played the first 5 minute mode of all the other maps. 
 
I thought people were saying you don't have to play every single mode of the game to get that achievement. Is that true? 
 
I'm loving the game, and I still plan on playing every mode, but that completed game achievement is the last one I need for the S Rank. I thought I would've had it by now.

I'm missing one, something about beating the game with "all maze visuals". What do I do?
