Pac-Mania is a variation on the game Pacman. You need to guide Pac-Man around a maze and eat all of the dots on the board in order to procede on to the next round. Numerous, multi-colored ghosts also roam the maze trying to stop you. If you eat one of the power pellets in the maze, the ghosts will temporarily turn blue and run from you. Pac-man can earn bonus points by eating the ghosts when they are in this state. The maze is now in 3-D and is larger than screen which will scroll to follow the action. To help get out of tight spots, Pac-Man now has the ability to jump. But be careful, because some of the ghosts have learned this trick as well and you could end up in a mid air collision!
Pac-Mania features nice, colorful graphics done in a nice 3-D fashion. The blocks in Block Town are nice and look just like Legos. Pac-Man actually has eyes and the ghosts are also nicely done. Anyway, the graphics are just what you'd want them to be: great, but not overly flashy.
Most of the music in Pac-Mania is very good. My personal favorite track is the music in Pac-Man's Park, but all of the music is quite catchy. After a while you'll find yourself humming some of the tunes to yourself. Also, the famous Pac-Man “wok-wok-wok” sound is in there, too.
Pac-Mania game features:
- Hovering ghosts and classic characters return
- A speedy Pac Booster feature
- Classic game transformed into 3D
- Addictive two-player action
Pac-Mania is also knows as Pacmania, Pac Mania.
Although the game seems like a breeze after the first few levels, wait till you get to Sandbox Land. This is the third different world in the game and the first where jumping ghosts appear. Things get really hard when you hit Jungly Steps. After that, the game repeats and Pac-Man moves twice as fast with more ghosts on each level. There is enough here to challenge even the best of game players.
The famous Pac Man game comes to the Genesis – but in 3D! In this game try and get all the yellow dots on the map while trying to avoid the ghosts floating around. Containing everything the original Pac Man had, he can now also put on a burst of speed and even jump over ghosts if he needs to. The game has never looked so good.
What better way to bring Pac-Man back than to feature him in four of his all-time greatest hits. Enjoy the original Pac-Man, the fast and furious Pac-Attack and the addictive and challenging Pac-Mania
