  • Summary: The outrageously fun party game stars Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and many other Namco favorites from popular franchises such as Tekken, Ridge Racer and Soul Calibur. Up to four players partake in more than 30 mini-games and three differently themed game boards. Try to recover all of the mini-games stolen by those pesky, party-crashing Ghosts and determine who the real party animal is! [Namco] Expand

  1. The animation is solid, and there's a plot to boot. [Aug 2002, p.79]
  2. Takes a good idea and executes it in a mediocre way.

    Without even a hint of fun multiplayer competition, you and your friends will certainly catch an unfavorable fever caused by a dismal showing of Pac-Man Fever.
  4. This is the kind of plague that should see Pac-Man quarantined and approached only by trained disease control experts in the shelter of a hazardous materials suit.

    An alright game, but a complete rip-off of Mario Party. But an avereage party game non the less.
  2. A disappointingly ugly rip-off of Mario Party. However, it'll keep the kiddies entertained with its wacky mini-games. Pros: A variety of mini-games; good board designs; lots of comic mischief. Cons: Average graphics; dull visuals; limited characters and unlockable content; it's a sad attempt at ripping off the Mario Party series. Expand

    Some of it's games ARE rip-offs. Music does get repetitive, and I'm not sure who that disco guy is, or any of the other humans in this game. The repetitive music is kinda good, most games are mildly enjoyable, the variety of characters is nice. Graphics are nothing to mention, they are pretty generic. This game does more wrong than it does right. Expand
