Well, that was terrible. While I’ve definitely played worse platformers in my day, the failure that this Ghostly Adventures reboot spawned should be jotted down in history books. It’s a perfect example of what not to do when designing a reboot. From the character design, to the world building, it’s almost impressive how much these developers misunderstood the point of Pac-Man’s character In this brand new adventure, the evil Lord Betrayus, (yes that’s his actual name) is causing havoc in Pac-World. And it’s up to Pac-Man to stop him. And if you weren’t sold on that weak as hell premise, this game is going to put you to sleep. Because my God, I think New Super Mario Brothers had a more interesting plot. It’s strange, for a game that was designed to tie-in with a TV show, there are barely any nods or references to said show. Aside from the enemies and the power-ups, a lot of the elements from the animated series are rarely used here. Even Pac-Man’s friends, despite having a lot of screen time in the show, only exist here to deliver exposition and say bad one liners. Which is shame, because I usually really like video games that have a TV show tie-in. It’s not like the show was amazing, but if the game was at least designed in a way to feel like a special episode from the show, I would enjoy it a heck of a lot more. As is, it feels more like a Super Mario Galaxy knockoff, than a Pac-Man game. I’m not against the idea of Pac-Man having his own power-up system. But Christ, these design choices are shameless. Fire-Pac, Ice-Pac, Granite Ball-Pac, these are just copied elements from Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. This big revival is nothing more than a sham to copy Mario’s success. I personally wouldn’t mind if these elements were copied well, but despite taking a lot of mechanics from Super Mario Galaxy, the developers didn’t copy the polish from Super Mario Galaxy. The controls aren’t terrible, but they're pretty flat. It feels more like I'm controlling a puppet that’s pretending to be Pac-Man, rather than Pac-Man himself. And with his new design consisting of creepy teeth and uncanny mouth movements, he looks a lot more like Toc-Man than Pac-Man. I hated watching him belch out all of the ghost eye balls after completing each level. And don’t know who this yellow gremlin is, but he’s definitely not Pac-Man. Okay, so this game is really bad. But are there any positives I can take way from it? Well, I will say as uncanny as Pac-Man’s design is, I think the enemy design is pretty solid. I really like the jellyfish-like designs the ghosts have. The glowing eyes, the body language, it all feels right. Ironically, I found the ghosts to be far more interesting than Pac-Man in the TV show. And while their is a multiplayer mode that let’s you play as Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde. It’s pretty cheaply designed and it feels like something that was added at the last minute just so the developers could sell a multiplayer on the back of the box. It’s not the worst game in the world, but it’s a really mediocre reboot.

Pretty cool and entertaining to play, hope that soon we get a new season or continuation of the story

Sa faisait longtemps que je n’ais pas vu de game over sans le faire exprès la difficulté est bonne, les transformations sont très bonnes.
