Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness

"Ms. Pac-man is out of this World"

INTRO
Good old Ms. Pac-man is back. Pac-man world was a great game, all versions. The question here is can Ms. Pac-man live up to the hype? She sure can she one mean lean eat them up machine. This game is a maze/puzzler game. It does have some action and adventure, but not much. It is basically solve the puzzles and eat up your dots and fruits. Some of these puzzles are tricky, so you do need to use your head. This is what you call an entertaining game for all ages.

GAME PLAY
Very nicely done, the controls are very easy. All you do is use the control pad nothing else more is really required. Don' get me wrong, you do a lot of jumping, pushing, pulling, and other stuff, but you do it in different parts with help of objects in the game. You have four objectives in every level, eat all the dots, all the fruit, beat it with a certain time limit, and just beat it normal. So to me this was fun, and does have a lot of replay value.

To my surprise this game does have a little story to it. For a hand held puzzler, sounds kind of weird. An evil witch has stolen some gems from Pac-man land, and its up to our female hero Ms. Pac-man to save the day. Nice and cute, this game suits for all ages. 3D maze fun from start to finish, and this is no short game it will take you some time to clear.

APPEARANCE
Very good, you don't except nothing more then top of the line from game boy advance games. After all they do have the technology now, not like years before. The 3D Ms. Pac-man is cool looking. So are the ghost monsters, and other monsters thrown in. Not going to say what they are, I don't want to reveal everything. The sound is your basic Pac-man eating dots sound, and the music is ok too.

OVERALL
This is a very good game, and the price for this right now is not bad at all. I got this game brand new for 15 bucks. You cannot beat that for anything. I have paid more for games that I thought I would like, but did not. I have been playing it for weeks, and love it. Time to put it down, but I know I'll go back to it later on and do a board or two of my choice. It's not the world's best game, but for fans that like this kind of game playing, it is very good.
