Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

sperine's Pac-Man Championship Edition DX (Xbox 360 Games Store) review

Buy this, even if you have purchased the first Pac-Man CE

If you do not go out and buy this game immediately, you are doing yourself a disservice. I purchased the first Pac-Man Championship Edition on the Xbox, and later on the iPhone because I enjoyed it so much. I was given an NES with a Pac-Man cartridge when I was three years old, and Pac-Man CE was most fun I have had with the game since I was very young. 
 
When my friend told me I needed to download PM CE DX, my immediate response was "I already picked up PM CE twice, I doubt I need the new one." He urged me to get it anyway, and that it was still worth it. After some nagging, I begrudgingly picked it up... 
 
This is easily one of the best games available for XBLA. It is leagues and bounds above the first Pac-Man CE. If you have ever enjoyed Pac-Man before in your life, you NEED this game. If you have never enjoyed Pac-Man, you still need this. It is unbelievably exciting, competitive, and best of all: rewarding. Taking down a string of ghosts is definitely the greatest video game moment of the year. 
 
If I haven't sold you on this, ask anyone who has played it. They will tell you the same thing.

Perhaps years of being restrained by the limited amount of ghosts and pellets on the classic Pac-Man board gave me a greater appreciation of the fact t...

 “Wakka Wakka Wakka”, the iconic chomping noise of the nefarious pizza shape pill eater is a sound familiar to arcades and home televisions since the early 80’s. One of the most familiar characters in video game history, Pacman has had the pleasure of appearing on nearly every platform imaginable and retaining its popularity without radically changing its core gameplay.30 years and over 30 iterations later everything changed in 2007 with the release of Pacman Championship edition which while ret...
