    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 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.

    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 checks off all the key features of the original – short sessions, super accessible play, addictive mechanics – while adding just the right amount of modern conventions, including long-term goals, pretty presentation, and co-operative play.

    Pac-Man 256 manages to yet again renovate its decades-old gameplay with a new and addicting mechanic good both for short and long sessions, and at a great price. Definitely recommended.
