Although the basic combat remains the same throughout the game, it lingers on a certain theme just long enough to remain engrossing.Ĭuring repeatability even more are multiple Pac-Man types in the form of Ice Pac, Chameleon Pac, Fire Pac, Granite Pac and Rubber Pac. One moment you’re jumping between platforms, the next figuring out how a puzzle and then even getting shot out of a cannon. Far and away the most impressive thing about the game, however, is just how often things switch up. There are multiple ghost enemies including your standard inky/blinky/clyde style, slime ones and more. These are disposed with by hitting X when nearby, fluidly having him knock out multiple ghosts at once if they’re nearby. Trying to make things even harder for Pac-Man are ghosts spread throughout the levels trying to kill him. At first just a matter of timing, this grows harder as the game progresses with platforms becoming unstable, disappearing or even made out of fire. The levels themselves are classic 3D platforming that feature plenty of true platforming that is, jumping from platform to platform. These are fun to collect and give good reason to replay levels after completion. Besides these level-ending items, there are also collectible items in the form of pellets, ghost eyes, coins and more that allow for upgrades, extra lives, advancement in the game and more. Outside of the world map is Pac-Man’s high school where he can talk to characters from the TV series and eventually play multiple vehicular-based minigames in the form of arcade cabinets, unlocked by grabbing a certain number of fruits or vegetables at the end of a level. Sectioned off into six worlds including settings like Pacopolis, Ruins and Netherworld, each world then has around five to ten stage, growing progressively harder until a final stage is reached that generally has a boss battle or some sort of tough obstacle. Understandably distancing itself from its arcade roots, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is a platforming game that has more in common with the Pac-Man World series than it does the original games. Shockingly, however, Ghostly Adventures proves to not only be a successful television adaption but a great Pac-Man game in its own right. As such, however, Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures must ironically not be taken as an original video game, but rather a tie-in to an existing property, which lowers the odds that it’s not an abomination of Superman 64 proportions. A simple trip into Toys “R” Us reveals a section of Pac-Man toys spawning from the series and now a video game has been produced in a show imitating game imitating show kind of way that cements the anthropomorphic antenna ball for a whole new generation. It’s nothing short of a miracle that Pac-Man is still culturally relevant with today’s youth in 2013, thirty-three years after his inception, and it’s all thanks to this little TV series that could.
