    The multiplayer co op aspect raises this game from a 7 to an 8. Also the different power ups and upgrading them helps keep the game from getting stale too quick. The gameplay is very simple but also really fun.

    The game is a port of a Smartphone game - its very cheap - and for the small amount of Money you get quite some polished multiplayer fun - it Features a Couch coop which is always great for some short fun in between, its technically well presented, and you can even unlock some pretty cool stuff that keeps the game somewhat interesting and Lasting - I gave this a 7 because although the gameThe game is a port of a Smartphone game - its very cheap - and for the small amount of Money you get quite some polished multiplayer fun - it Features a Couch coop which is always great for some short fun in between, its technically well presented, and you can even unlock some pretty cool stuff that keeps the game somewhat interesting and Lasting - I gave this a 7 because although the game is very short and simple (not really any different maps/layouts/gamemodes or something), its simple and pure fun, and also pretty stylish presented as well! You cant really go wrong with that Price tag and if you like pacman (who doesnt???) and have some friends for coop youll gonna have some pretty fun for some short matches in between other "big" multiplayer games… Expand

    It perfectly combines the classic's simple appeal with a quicker pace and slick new moves, making it more addictive than ever. [Sept 2016, p.108]

    Pac-Man 256 takes the original mechanics adding something new to the series, never seen before. You will run through an endless maze, trying to escape from the assault of the Glitch. To make your way across the ghosts, there are 20 upgradable weapons to collect. It may look a simple game, but it hides a surprising depth, and it is really fun to play. Multiplayer co-op is really a blast, but the lack of online multiplayer is a mess.

    Most importantly, the sessions are short enough that you can spend a few minutes with it and be done, but that call of "one more round" is enough to keep you glued for hours. Cheap but ultimately satisfying, Pac-Man 256 comes highly recommended.
