    Pac-Man 256 is another smart twist of the classic. The game is very entertaining, and that is all thanks to Pac-Man being a timeless classic, but also because of the randomly generated mazes. Especially good for short sessions.

    PAC-MAN 256 is exactly what you probably assume it will be, which is frustrating and disappointing, but also fun enough to probably warrant its tiny price tag of $4.99.

    I had a blast with this game. Pac-Man as an endless runner isn't something I ever thought to ask for, but it's something I loved every minuteI had a blast with this game. Pac-Man as an endless runner isn't something I ever thought to ask for, but it's something I loved every minute of. I've 100%ed it, but I'll keep playing just to better my best score. This might sound like blasphemy, but I liked it more than the original. Plus multiplayer is a treat. The only down is that some of the power-ups are a bit weak. Full Review »
