    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.

    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.

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

    Unmatched combination of simplicity and fun in one of the best games in history, which again demonstrates that after 30 years its gameplay is still strong enough to engage us in our new consoles.

    Yes it looks cool and yes it appeals to nostalgic Pac-Man players. But lets be fair after you play one of the neon lit 'new' levels you still come away thinking "meh". Sadly it still plays like a game which was only averagely playable 30 years ago. This is one for people with too many psn points or indeed gamers who don't want any depth or excitement to their titles. Expand
  2. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX just does what a game should do : it's fun to play and play again, it doesn't break too much away from the mold that made it an instant classic back when it originally released and adds a few variations here and there along with leader boards to give it replayability. Forget spending quarters over and over; for 10$, you'll be able to play this gem of a game without fear of running out of change. Collapse
  3. This is one of the best games i've played on my Playstation 3. Is fast, fun and simply. I LOVE IT !!!! If you dont know which game buy on PSN, buy this. Expand
  4. The game is awesome, although I wish the campaign progression was more linear like the original. My biggest gripe is lack of local multi-player. Would have given this game a 10! Expand
