Test Your Dot-Chompin' Skills In Pac-Man Championship Edition, Now Available In The App Store
December 10, 2009
Pac-Man C.E. for the iPhone and iPod touch veers away from the traditional Pac-Man gameplay by dividing the mazes into left and right halves, where upon eating all of the dots on one side of the maze, fruit will appear on the other side. When you eat the fruit, the cleared maze side will take a new shape. This continues until time expires.
The game features two different gameplay modes: Championship and Mission. Championship Mode requires you to achieve the highest possible score within a limited amount of time across five courses. Mission Mode requires you to complete an assigned mission, which is explained before each mission starts, within a limited amount of time. There are a total of 20 missions to complete in the base version of the game. Pac-Man C.E. also features an extra mode, Challenge Mode (15 courses), and an additional 100 missions and 10 courses via an in-app expansion pack, which costs another $3.99.
Pac-Man C.E. is all about speed, so Namco created four different control types in order suit everyone's needs. The four control types are: d-pad, directional buttons, thumb swipe, and point-finger swipe.
Pac-Man C.E. is now available in the App Store for $2.99, but you might as well consider its cost to be $6.98 since the expansion pack basically unlocks the full game. If you are hesitant to drop even more money on another Pac-Man game for your iPhone or iPod touch, wait until tomorrow for Trevor's in-depth review of the game. But if you are a die-hard Pac-Man fan, just download it immediately. You know you want to.
