Pac-Man Championship Edition DX Critic Reviews

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is an incredible game, from top to bottom.

It is just that good, an incredibly fun game to both watch and play, and one that fills a thirty year old franchise full of life once again. It is hard to think of a more exciting and inventive way Pac-Man could have been re-envisioned in 2010.

Where previous iterations amounted to ports and bizarre 3D interpretations, Pac-Man CE managed to merge classic, addictive gameplay with a high-definition, modern touch.

To say that this is a must-buy is doing it a disservice; it's a game you'll want to instantly evangelise to anyone with even the vaguest sense of what makes a game good.

A great game and a must-have for anyone who is a fan of old-school, classic games.

The only thing I really wish Pac-Man Championship Edition DX had was just more. More mazes, more modes, more ways for me to subjugate ghosts and rub my high scores in my friends' stupid, stupid faces. It's not that this package feels particularly anemic, it's just that what's here is so damn good, I wish it didn't have to end.

I can't think of a single negative thing to say about it, and it's definitely in the contender for Game of the Year.

This is a master class in game design: you will understand it instantly, enjoy it instantly, and want to play again and again.

There are also a wealth of presentation options that cover the gamut of Pac-man's 30-year history.

This is the best downloadable title of the year: frenzied, addictive and defiant, along with a perfect pace and design. Pac-Man DX is a love letter to classic gaming, and the best update possible to the classic formula.

A must-have for every hi-score maniac, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX can keep you away from your friends more than any woman, and away from you woman more than any friend. An act of love to the golden era of the arcade games and probably on of the best downloadable games of the year.

There's almost too much game in there.

One of the most exciting titles available. It is, in short, a game any sort of player – casual or hard-core – will take a shine to.

n short, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is everything you've come to love about the series, distilled down into its purest form.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is an extraordinary package that appeals to nostalgic arcade dwellers and newcomers alike. Namco has done an excellent job preserving the essence of Pac-Man while adding in new features such as bombs and ghost chains to spice things up.

One of the best Live Arcade games around: entertaining, immediate, challenging and nostalgic. A must have.

A little gem and a must have title both on PSN and Xbox Live. Highly recommended.

With Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, Namco Bandai has done all this and more, crafting an utterly addictive Pac-Man experience that will thrill, challenge, and consume players of all ages, skill levels, and experience. It's the best Pac-Man game to date, and a must-play for anyone who has thumbs and likes playing video games. It's really that good.

The gameplay is incredibly addictive, the leaderboards will keep you busy for ages, and the presentation tops the original game in many ways. Drop a roll of quarters and let the fun commence. Wakka wakka wakka!

The Pac-Man recipe strikes again. It's a must-buy for true fans of wokka-wokka-wokka.
