One of the most infamous levels of any
video game is level 256 of Pac-Man. It is a garbled up stage where
half of the level is messed up. Take that concept and rework the
classic formula and you get Pac-Man 256. It's gameplay manages to
stay refreshing to a tired concept and plays unique despite only
coming out in the last two to three years on phones, PC, and
consoles.
The idea of the game is to get a high
score, just like the 1980 classic. It is an endless loop with a huge
catch. Keep moving, because the glitched up screen is coming to get
you as well as the usual ghosts that want you dead. Have no fear, as
you have an assortment of powerups and some screen clearing moments
to move further away from the huge glitch.
It's graphics are very basic
considering this was originally on phones. There's nothing fancy
here. Being simple is not a bad thing. The audio is in that same
boat. It's music is a remix take of the intro before starting the
game along with the classic sound effects. This game offers on
consoles and the PC multiplayer. Up to four can play together.
If you're looking for something
different to the Pac-Man formula but still plays like the classics,
this is a game to try. It's that kind of game that will have trying
one more time to do better. Best to not play it every day unless you
don't get bored quickly.
Score: 8 out of 10
