PAC-MAN™ Championship Edition DX+

We all know this yellow guttler and we've all controlled him at least once, if it wasn't to get the highest scores, it was purely to eat the ghosts and enjoy the sound effects!
Watch gameplay of Pac-Man Championship edition DX & the sequel here:
The usual known gameplay of pac-man is a little less useful here,
there are a number of different modes that provide variation in the gameplay this time around.
You have a score attack where you have to stay alive for a certain amount of time,
A time-based mode where you have to eat a certain number of apples within a certain time, and then you have a few other modes.
The stages of some modes are spread over a series of 10 identical levels, but the levels differ in difficulty or other aspects depending on which mode you are playing.

I grew up playing Pac-Man, so I have a certain fondness for everything the little yellow puck gets involved in. I even played Pac-Man 2 as a kid; I wound up tearing my hair out at its arbitrary nonsense but I beat the game, by god, and it still has a place in my heart – albeit, a dark place.
With that said, I hope it doesn't come across as blind nostalgia when I say that this is one of the best Pac-Man games I’ve ever played, if not the best. It might even be one of my favorite score-attack games (just below Tetris), but that could just be because I need to get out more.
Hardcore Gaming 101 suggested that this is the true follow-up to the original Pac-Man while also being palatable by modern standards and I couldn't agree more. Everything is essentially the same: eat dots, eat fruits, eat ghosts, make number go up. This game is different in that it becomes frantic quickly (while always providing keen players with plenty of opportunity for strategy). And I don't think anything feels better than chomping up 30 ghosts in a row and watching numbers fly around the screen. With its colorful visuals, driving music, and satisfying gameplay loop, it can be hard to put down if you pick it up.

You play as a cheese wheel that has a slice missing and your goal is to eat miniature cheese wheels but the ghost don't like you munching on them so they try to munch you.

i love this more than my own girlfriend

Most would say "Well, this is PAC-MAN".
But this cannot be more inaccurate: This is PAC-MAN ON STEROIDS!!!!!!
With so many modes, mazes, challenges, character types, and visuals, this elevates an already ageless game into 'immortal' status!!
You can even 'bomb' those pesky little ghosts when trapped in a dead-end. Or often turn the 'many' of them (not just the same usual classic 4 here) into an 'all-you-can-eat buffet' for more points and better high-scores, etc. !
So think no more: THIS is how PAC-MAN is played in 2022. . .and forever after!
In other words: A huge thumbs-up (if only PAC-MAN had any fingers!!) ;p

I’m about 10 years behind on reviewing this gem of a Pac-Man game. I used to play it a lot on PS3. This year I picked up playing it again on Steam and I’m remembering just what a perfect arcade game this is. It is my favorite Pac-Man game and I look forward to beating some of my personal bests in the months and years to come. Highly recommended!
