PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX is an arcade game; a part of the Namco Bandai’s long-running PAC-MAN series and a follow-up to the 2007 title PAC-MAN Championship Edition. ###Gameplay The core gameplay is similar to most other PAC-MAN games. The player controls Pac-Man through the maze where he must eat dots and avoid hostile ghosts. Besides dots, the player can collect bonus items that give additional points, and power pellets that allow Pac-Man to eat ghosts. Eating several ghosts in a row triggers a combo that gives the player a huge amount of extra points. Though the base gameplay is similar to that of the original arcade game, there are numerous new mechanics and gameplay differences in Championship Edition DX. The mazes consist of two halves. Eating all the dots on one of them makes a bonus item appear on the other half and eating an item makes a new dots layout appear on the other side. If a ghost is about to catch Pac-Man, a slow-motion effect kicks in giving the player an opportunity to avoid it. There are three main game modes in the game: Score Attack, Time Attack, and Ghost Combo. The game features nine different courses and several visual style options.

Runs well on modern hardware.

great take on the classic pac-man formula
only played for 35 minutes and this is a really great game, it puts stress as it gets faster, and pays it off when you chomp all the ghosts up pleas get it iots like 5 bucks right now
One of my favourite ways to scratch that Pac-Man itch that appears every few years, satisfying visuals and feedback on eating ghosts and fruits, plenty of theme customisation and score targets to hit. Would recommend to anyone that has an urge to try or play Pac-Man on PC.
