Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness

One of the first games I can ever remember having played is Ms. Pac-Man on my Atari 2600. Pac-Man, in general, is majorly responsible for the reason why videogames are so damn popular today. About two decades ago, Namco had a humongous arcade hit on its hands, and it's since evolved into literally dozens of other games. It's a good thing that the sequels and spin-offs of the Pac-Man franchise have, for the most part, retained the same great gameplay as the original. Like last year's "Pac Man World 20th Anniversary," Ms Pac Man: Maze Madness is loads of fun and stays true to the series that the world has come to love.

Ms. Pac-Man: Maze Madness is a surprisingly enjoyable game that successfully combines Pac-Man's classic gameplay with new ideas to create a gaming experience that will appeal to virtually everyone. The only gamers who may not find Ms. Pac-Man: Maze Madness to be enjoyable are those who put a heavy emphasis on graphics quality.

Sicherlich, Ms. Pac-Man ist bestimmt nicht der Weisheit letzter Schluss, doch Spaß macht's trotzdem. Mit dem grafisch schwachen Mehrspielermodus, den total simplen Rätseln und der grauenhaften Deutsch-Konvertierung hat der gelbe Flummy zwar seine offensichtlichen Schwächen, doch die knuddelige 3D-Optik, der einfache Bedienkomfort, die mitreißende Musik und der integrierte Klassiker versprühen ihren eigentümlichen Charme. Mein Urteil: Nicht nur für Pac-Fans interessant.

Un jeu d'anthologie qui nous revient sous la forme d'un puzzle en 3D-isométrique destiné à toute la famille. La jouabilité très simple assure un plaisir de jeu immédiat, et les 180 niveaux promettent quelques bonnes prises de tête. Un titre pas très impressionnant mais pourtant fort sympathique.

While Maze Madness may be overly easy for experienced gamers, the younger crowd and inexperienced gamers should have loads of fun with the game. In the end, it ultimately does what few updated classics do well - it brings new concepts to a well-known game while keeping the fun and magic of the original game.

Ms Pac-Man: Maze Madness är ett perfekt spel för uttråkade barnfamiljer som inte orkar koka någon julgröt. Både mamma, pappa och gammelfarmor kan uppskatta det. För att inte tala om barnen. Inget för hardcorespelare, men underhållande i alla fall. Mycket mer än så är det inte med Ms Pac-Man: Maze Madness.
