Pac-Pix: Nintendo DS Game Review

Pac-Man is one of the oldest video game heroes ever - older than Mario, older than Zelda and maybe even older than your Mom. He just celebrated his birthday on May 11, 2005 and Namco just released a new Pac-Man video game for the Nintendo DS, Pac-Pix. Here's the scoop!

What's the Deal With Pac-Pix?

Basically it's a game about drawing Pac-Man. You're supposed to save him from the evil ghosts and you do it by drawing a picture of Pac-Man. Your Pac-Man picture comes to life (even if it's really freaky looking!) and it's up to you to guide it around levels and through boss battles.

Does Pac-Pix Give Pac-Man a Dose of Cool?

It gets really close! You can draw any kind of Pac-Man you want and play levels with some serious freaks under your control. The whole game looks pretty cartoon-ish and it isn't too hard so it's a nice fun game to play that won't stress you out. Plus, you can get extra moves that'll let you draw shapes to do other things.

Pac-Pix Video Game Weaknesses

Do you like doing stuff over and over and over again? Well, you'd better cuz you get to do a lot of the basic stuff about 10 billion times in Pac-Pix. It's cool at first, but starts to get boring after a while and the plain graphics don't help.

Pac-Pix - Old School or Old Skool?

It's a little wacky, a little repetitive and pretty good. Pac-Pix is definitely a game worth renting and, if you dig the Pacmeister, worth picking up for some serious game time.

Pac-Pix Thumbs Up:

  • Freakishly mutant Pac-Men under your command.
  • Easy for any player.
  • Cool cartoony levels.
  • Pac-Pix Thumbs Down:

  • Only a few basic moves means it gets old, fast.
  • Pac-Pix Game Rating:

    Mickey_feature In 2001 Disney released a Christmas Special called Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In At The House Of Mouse. Now, eight long years later (and just in time for the holidays), the same movie is being re-released on DVD.
    Mj_feature Even though This Is It is not really a movie for kids, and some of you may not want to or be allowed to watch it, we thought we'd review it for you because so many kids out there love Michael Jackson.
