"Its as addicting as Connect Four if you have 3 friends."

Pac-Man Vs.

When I first heard of Pac-Man Vs, I Thought that it would be an awesome game. I was right. Pac-Man Vs. Is a great game showing the fun of having GBA to GC connectivity.

Gameplay- 10
One to three players play as ghosts trying to catch Pac-Man, who is the second, third or fourth player of the game. The catch is, Pac-Man can see the whole maze, while the ghosts can only see around them. Who ever gets a select amount of points by the end wins. Plus, everyone gets to be Pac-Man, and there are 6 different mazes that you can pick. So, You ask what can be so bad about that? In order to play the game, you need at least two players, And with only two players its not fun. You need at least two or three friends in order to play. It also has simple controls, and

Graphics- 8
Nothing new on the GBA, which looks just like a normal Pac-Man maze. Nothing new on the GC either. But, is Pac-Man, who needs graphics?? Depending on the maze, like R.I.P. Park (or something like that), on the TV you can see that there are graves and stuff that are on the ''lines'' of the maze, giving it a special difference from other mazes of the game.

Sound- 6
Yeah, there's music in the background. It doesn't change with each level, and gets a bit annoying, AND there is an annoying siren going off as you play. Why the moderate grade? MARIO! You can hear the voice of Mario announcing the things that Pac-Man and the ghosts do. They are clear, and loud enough for you to hear him. He says things such as ''Red ghost ate the fruit'' and ''10 pellets left!''. Small messages like this can really help you play the game.

Originality- 10
This game is so different from other Multi-player Pac-Man games out there. The fact that the ghosts can't see the whole maze add the extra challenge AND and extra help (if your Pac-Man). All of the mazes are very fun and you can play them over and over.

Replay value- 10
Its really hard NOT to play another round of Pac-Man Vs.. After you lost, or won, your going to say ''lets play again, but a different maze'' or simply ''I HATE YOU I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU IN THE NEXT GAME FOOL!''.

OVERALL- 9
Pac-Man Vs. Is an incredible game, but only if you have a lot of friends. if you play it with two friends, then its fun. Just one friend, don't even try. Three friends, YEHAW! If you have enough friends, buy this game right now. It comes with Pac-Man world 2, so that you can play some kind of Pac-man with one player too!
