It's bloody Pac Man again

Quote:

Today Microsoft Corp. and NAMCO BANDAI Games made video game history by unveiling the “Pac-Man Championship Edition” — featuring the first new Pac-Man mazes in more than 26 years — available only on the Xbox 360™.
The “Pac-Man Championship Edition” is the same beloved “Pac-Man” game played in arcades of the ’80s but is updated with new features that former “Pac-Man” fanatics and new generations of fans alike will love. It includes new mazes that dynamically change shape during gameplay, six new timed game modes, new soundtracks and high-definition (HD) graphics. Details include the following:

• Classic 2-D “Pac-Man” presentation with a new, modern look in HD
• Six new, timed game modes:

The Championship Mode. This is the main game mode designed by NAMCO BANDAI Games and Iwatani specifically for the championship round of the Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship. This mode – as well as all others within the “Pac-Man Championship Edition” – features redesigned mazes with wide maze walls and a widescreen configuration to better enable high-speed game play. Timed limit of five minutes.

-Challenge Mode 1 (Patience and Reward Course). This mode is an evolution of the Championship Mode. Patience mazes strategically offer fewer Power Pellets and Reward mazes provide a large number of Power Pellets – providing unique challenges and rewards for the player. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
-Challenge Mode 2 (The Darkness Course). In this mode, only the area directly around Pac-Man and the Ghosts is visible and the maze walls are completely hidden. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
-Extra Mode 1 (The Freeway Course). An extremely high-speed mode for advanced players, this mode features warp-speed Pac-Man and Ghosts and plenty of tunnels. Timed limit of five minutes.
-Extra Mode 2 (The Manhattan Course). A mode inspired by the streets of Manhattan — the home for the first-ever Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship. Timed limit of five minutes.
-Extra Mode 3 (The Overall Course). A mix of all other modes resulting in extreme mazes for the most devout Pac-Man fans. Timed limit of 10 minutes.

Yay, another pacman game. Real video game history there

Daz · 05-06-2007, 18:30

Bah, 800 points and no discount if you already own Pac-Man! Sucks.

Haly · 05-06-2007, 18:31

3rd Pacman game for the 360, just a tad excessive :/

Small Arms DLC is out tomorrow as well for anyone that has it. Think there's some achievements to do with it.

Aye, it's the first Arcade game to have DLC that actually adds some points to the game, 35 I believe.

Prince of Persia confirmed for next Wednesday for all you lubbers. It'll earn a trial download from me first I think

Haly · 06-06-2007, 21:10

Not bad

I'll get the trial too.

Sonic 2 all but confirmed for XBLA, so long as it has co-op/versus mode (that running down a half pipe thing) I'm there. Achievement for getting all the emeralds and hitting Super Sonic? Yes please.

Publishing houses/devs must absolutely hate ESRB sometimes. It's become a real gold mine for unreleased/unannounced titles.
