Dinsun Review
I’ve played enough Pac-Man in my life to last three incarnations, so a 'Battle Royale' version didn't exactly set my heart aflutter. To its credit, the ghost-tagging mechanic is a clever way to keep people engaged after they lose. However, the chaos quickly becomes unreadable. With four players and multiple ghosts flying around, it feels more like luck than skill. The Adventure mode is a nice addition for when you don't want to deal with people, but it’s essentially just a series of tutorials. It’s fun for a few matches at a party, but it lacks the depth of PAC-MAN 99 or the original's purity.
