The reviewer above just about described it well. It is kind of hard to draw at first but after a few tries, you get the hang of drawing pac man and get a kick out of watching your creation move and eat up the monsters. I'm onto level 10 book 1 and it's real hard. The bosses are somewhat hard as you get further into the game. Some of them I had to figure out how to beat them as they don't tell you what to do. It is a face paced game. If you liked Kirby Canvas Curse where you have to draw lines and use your stylus 100 percent of the time, you should like this game. I gave it 4 stars because while it was loads of fun, it can be very very frustrating at times. There were cases where I drew a line to stop pac man from going further, my line wasn't drawn. I had to hurry and draw another line. But it doesn't happen that often and I'm thinking maybe it's my screen protector that needs to be changed because it's all full of scratches from heavy stylus usage. UPDATE: 3/23/08 - I finally beat the last monster on Book 1 page 12!! Man. That was H A R D that I was almost ready to throw the game out the window! After I finished the book 1, there is another book! Book 2 with 12 pages to go through again. It's somewhat same thing but little harder. I'm already up to the 12th page on Book 2 so it isn't too bad. I look forward finding out what hpapens after that. You also need to collect cards by getting good grades on each page. Grade A or S gives you a card in your collection. (Gallery) I do not know what the point is to collect cards though...Read full review
Very nice game overall, but once you advance to higher levels it starts gettind difficult, although there are many similar levels that would make one feel like repeating, it is still a good game overall. You have to be fast, and with puzzles that are introduced in the upper levels and more difficult "books" it starts to be fun. Each world is identified as "books" and each level within worlds are pages and small levels. There are items you can earn like bombs or arrows. You can draw a bomb and draw the fuse and connect to nearby candle to blow up monsters, or you can draw an arrow and shoot at the monsters flying overhead. It is a good game, but young kids may get bored if they cannot draw the pacman well. Good addition to pacman family, but not like the original one.
Pac-Pix for the Nintendo DS branches Pac-Man once again into unfamiliar territory. While the gameplay is initially appealing, due to it's unique use of the Stylus as its sole control scheme, it is this very unique quality that ultimately leads to the games downfall. Like Kirby's Canvas Curse, Pac-Pix is controlled entirely with the stylus. Unlike Pac-Pix, you actually draw Pac-Man into the game itself. The game takes your (usually embarrasingly shoddy) Pac-Man drawing and animates it, sending it across a blank page, munching up various monsters and ghosts. Again, like Kirby, you do not control Pac-Man directly, but instead draw lines on the screen that send him off in what ever direction you drew the line. Pac-Man can be drawn just about any size on the screen, but he moves much slower the larger he is, faster the smaller he is. You can draw as many Pac-Men on the screen as you want at any time, though you're limited on how many Pac-Men you can draw total. So, each time you die, you have to draw another Pac-Man, which basically takes one "life" away. Other moves are added to mix up gameplay. Flying ghosts have to be taken down by drawing an arrow, certain obstructions have to be blown up by drawing a bomb with a fuse. Here's where the game shows its most glaring issue. While the game allows you to draw a horrendous, barely recognizable Pac-Man to awkwardly gobble its way across the screen, it's very particular when it comes to drawing the arrows and bombs you must use to take down certain enemies. Often, the game requires you to draw, re-draw, then draw an arrow again before it finally fires off, which is severely costly in levels where you only have a few seconds to accomplish a challenge. Add this in to the fact that if you fail a mission, you start the entire "world" (each world is a series of several short levels) over from the beginning. The graphics are cartoony (mimicking a sketchbook with crayoned in ghosts on the page), but mostly pretty bland, as every environment is meant to look like, well, a blank piece of paper. Not very exciting stuff, but not offensive either. Sound and music are light and fluffy, pretty what you'd expect from a modern Pac-Man game. I really wanted to enjoy this game. I loved being able to draw an abomination of a Pac-Man, watching it come to life and proceed to eat everything on the screen. It's unfortunate that the controls when it came to drawing the weapons, the game became so unforgiving and frustrating. I'm not saying that there's no one out there that would enjoy this game. Maybe my reaction times are just too slow, or maybe I just really suck at drawing, but even when I seemed to draw it perfectly, it would rarely take on less than three or four tries, and would inevitably force me to replay the entire world. Repeat that a few times, and well, you have a unique but frustrating game that gets a 2 out of 5 from me.Read full review
I liked this game after I kept at it for a while. It's a bit tricky to get your Pacman to go where you want him to at first, but it is quite simple once you get the hang of it; and it is also addictive; and you don't have to be a Picaso to draw a Pacman that works either! Mine always looked a little warped, but he still gobbled up ghosts and goodies! The graphics are cute and of course there is a story to it (just like Mario) and the pacman sound effects (waca waca waca) brought back good memories of when I had my first Atari system. Overall a fun game but I would buy one used (on ebay) instead of paying full price for it, simply because it becomes tedious after a while, but that is true of any game. I especially recommend this one for kids ages 8 to 11 (Hey, I'm 40 and I found it challenging) mostly for the concentration and creativity aspects of the game; not to mention that they will have to think and react simultaneously which is good for their little developing minds...right? =-)Read full review
This game is unlike any other Pacman game. It is VERY addicting for anyone that plays. Each levels adds something new. We bought the game because our son is a Pacman lover, so we had to make sure we have ALL the Pacman games. But this game is really fun to play, and really hard to stop playing.
