9/19/2023 0 Comments Pac man party![]() Pac-Man Party isn’t a raging bash it’s something to do on a Thursday night while you wait for your weekend plans to roll around. The disc does include arcade classics like Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug, but I’d rather party with those guys by myself. Dozens of other random events have players constantly stealing cookies from each other, shifting castle ownership, or moving their pieces to other parts of the map. In one round, an opponent can win one minigame and steal a castle you’d been building up the entire game. However, even when playing the game with real friends you’ll discover that the game isn’t always fair. It will let you walk all over it during the simpler challenges, but acts like a virtuoso during some of the harder events. Unfortunately, the AI seems a little inconsistent. Power cookies are only amusing when you are using them the rest of the time you’ll be cursing their existence. This doesn’t necessarily make the game fair. Plus, if you ever run into a minigame you just can’t get a handle on, you can always eat a power cookie to gain a ridiculously overpowered advantage that round. If one minigame doesn’t tickle your fancy, chances are the next one will prove entertaining. The events themselves range from the annoying (a dance game where you move the controller in sync to a synth beat stolen from a Casio keyboard), to the entertaining (a tennis game where you hit balls back at an automated serving machine) to the downright bizarre (a game where you throw javelins across a field of floating meat and vegetables to make BBQ skewers). I rarely ran across the same minigame twice in a single board. Pac-Man party contains 45 minigames, which turns out to be about the right amount. Still, don’t concern yourself with that you shouldn’t be playing this game alone. Not only is amassing cookies the game’s main goal, but the single-player story revolves around some idiotic plot to retrieve a cookie recipe. Pac-Man has also brought plenty of cookies to this feast. As you circle the board you level up your castles, and players who land on your square have to cough up a paycheck. Similar to 2002’s Pac-Man Fever, up to four players take turns moving around a board, building castles, and participating in minigames. It seems that Pac-Man has been to a few of Nintendo’s events, because this game plays like a Mario Party title, and it’s not bashful about it. As it turns out, I wouldn’t be offended if he forgot to invite me to his. He doesn’t immediately offend me, or anything he’s just not the first guy I’d invite to my party. The more I learned about the guy in his proceeding games, the less I cared about him. ![]() When we first met, all he cared about was eating, but I was fine with that simple, one-dimensional characterization. There just isn’t much to his personality. ![]()
