PAC-MAN 256

It's fun for what it is, but it tends to be pretty repetitive. The chunks of maze that they string together feel like they show up very often, I think more variety could help. The powerup system could be more interesting, too, perhaps combining powerups or having the upgrades be more interesting than extended time.
This game gets a dragon rating of 0/10, for no dragons.

A pretty neat little twist on the Pac-Man experience.
It plays like an endless maze-runner with the addition of permanent new power-up upgrades like a rogue-lite.
A lot of what this game provides is kinda neat, but overall it just feels obtusely bloated with unnecessary content like multiple power-ups that basically do the same thing the same way anyway, and its grindy upgrade system that feels solely reminiscent from its phone ports, which is where I previously played it on when it released.
Yet, 256 also has some new and overhauled ghost variants that I found quite fun to play around with.
I like how vibrant this game is, especially with its fake visual and gameplay glitches which has a significant, interesting impact on gameplay.
And I enjoy the side-angle perspective, as it's a cool way of presenting a Pac-Man game board.
The game isn't bad -- not by a long shot, I just don't find it as appealing as I do other Pac-Man spin-off games, and I see very little reason to return to the game again.
It's still fun for a few short sessions and just to see what it's all about.

PAC-MAN 256 is an interesting twist on the classic PAC-MAN formula, and if you've ever gamed in the last 40+ years, you should at least know what PAC-MAN is about, so I'll just explain the "twist". Instead of having a bunch of similar mazes that you advance through by eating all pellets while avoiding the ghosts, in this game, the maze never ends, and you must always move forward, as the "glitch" advances through the maze. This Advancing Wall of Doom is a references to the 256th level glitch in the original Pac-Man, and if the glitch reaches you, it's game over.
Of course, the classic elements of Pac-Man are still there: there's pellets to eat, ghosts to avoid, fruit to eat, and power pellets. Oh, there's also several new power-ups that can help you deal with the ghosts: from lasers, to bombs, and even an aura that turns ghosts into cherries for you to eat. These power-ups can be upgraded by collecting coins as you play, although you can only have three power-ups show up per run.
As for the ghosts, there's several types, although not quite like in classic Pac-Man. While some are easy to avoid (the light blue ghost goes around in circle, the orange ghost always heads to the bottom of the screen), some might prove more challenging, such as the pink ghost or the glitchy one.
The main goal of the game, besides getting away from the glitch as I said above, is getting points, to get to the top of that scoreboard. You get points by eating pellets, getting combos, killing ghosts... If you manage to eat 256 pellets in a row, you trigger a special bonus that destroys all ghosts on screen giving you bonus points as well. There's also a local multiplayer mode that can be played with up to four players.
All in all, this is a fun, casual game that anyone can enjoy, so I recommend it.

I did the 100% on Xbox, too: It's fun, and it's the definitive way to play Pac-man. Endless maze, 256 glitch, different grids, different powerups and goals, incredibly addictive until it gets a bit boring/tedious with the final achievement- You either have the kind of "wiring" for this stuff, or you don't... Haha. Pick it up when it's onsale for like $2.50.

5,6/10
A rogue-lite-lite in the universe of Pac-Man
Gameplay : 6/10 (The base concept is fun, but it's repetitive and you end up grinding the last achievement for the 100%)
Story : 2/10 (They took the 256 reference from the original Pac-Man and made an endless game with it, nothing much)
Music : 5/10 (Too much noise to appreciate the music)
Graphic : 8/10 (Visually it's pleasant to the eye and you can choose the view you want to have, I played with the 'Grid' since it was easier to understand the 3D)
Replayability : 7/10 (Fun to get a higher score, but there's seem to have a cap at 999999 or something, that weird to have a cap on a highscore game...)
Pro
- Powerups are fun to collect but boring to upgrade.
- Some achievement are a nice challange, like eating 256 pellets in a row (Use the magnet to cheat this one)
Con
- After 4 hours of gameplay you will be fed up with this minotaur lacking labyrinth of ghosts.
Tips : Learn the ghost patterns and you'll get a higher score and for the 'Game Over' achievement, focus on competing mission instead of collecting the yellow coins that are only worth 4.
