Games News - PAC-MAN Championship EditionTM powers onto mobile - 23/07/2009

PAC-MANTM for adrenalin junkies makes a perfect transition from console to mobile

Echoing the same quality and gameplay on mobile as you expect from a console, PAC-MAN™, who turns 30 next year, is back in the palm of your hand in his latest and most exciting evolution to date.

PAC-MAN Championship Edition™ from Namco Bandai Networks Europe sees the most iconic character in gaming history tackle new, dynamically evolving mazes and six different game modes, all displayed in rich, detailed graphics with dazzling visual effects.

PAC-MAN Championship Edition™ first appeared on the Xbox 360™ in 2007. Legendary game creator, Toru Iwatani, the creator of the original PAC-MAN™ game, was called upon to help with the design of a next generation PAC-MAN™ for Xbox LIVE® Arcade. Now recreated on mobile, the game brings a new degree of challenge and excitement to the world-famous format, building on the charm which made the original so appealing.

The much-loved basics of the game remain intact with PAC-MAN™ having to navigate the maze and eat all the PAC-Dots while trying to avoid the ghosts and obtain the highest score possible. However in this latest incarnation, an ever-evolving maze, new game modes, challenges and achievements add an intense excitement and new skill requirement not previously seen in any PAC-MAN™ game.

New features:
• New mazes designed by Toru Iwatani
• Timed challenge modes
• Integrated Facebook friends lists, and exchange of hi-scores and achievements
• Improved cornering so PAC-MAN™ can take turns at speed
• Six different game modes making gameplay more challenging and varied
• Twelve achievement awards for completing tasks throughout the game
• Online Global and Regional High Score leaderboard

Examples of new game modes include a Challenge Mode where only the area directly around PAC-MAN™ and the ghosts is visible and the maze walls are hidden as well as a maze inspired by the streets of Manhattan.
