STORY:"One day a mischevious wizard invented "Ghost Ink. Anything written with Ghost Ink turned into Ghosts." So begins Pac-Man's adventure through books in order to defeat the tricky ghosts in order to turn them back into ink. 9.0/10
GAMEPLAY: Yay, now we can all draw our hero from the 80's. But this is no small task. This part o fthe game is a bit tricky. Even after owning this for some time, I still have trouble drawing a basic Pac-Man shape. Which can be frustrating when you're trying to defeat the last ghost in a chapter in under 5 seconds. Now that we can draw our little circular hero, now we must guide him through chapters of a book, the chapters themselves ranging from 5-6 pages.Enough about goals, lets talk about arrows. These can be used to freeze ghosts, trigger switches, and opo bubbles. I found these to be easy to draw but a bit more difficult to aim. Bombs are another matter entirely. Difficult to draw, andeven more difficult to place. Normally those bloody little ghosts like to pop in the way of your drawing. But unlike drawing Pac-Man, I find drawing bombs to be a bit more challenging to draw, where as Pac-Man is just aggrivating to draw. 8.5/10 GRAPHICS: The graphcs on Pac-Pix are very pleasant to the eye. Everthing flows nicely and is perfectly animated. Each ghost has they're own style when it comes transportation and reactions. For instance, when a Pac-Man is succesfully drawn and starts chompin' cross the screen, all the ghosts have a little look of surprise. No real complaints here. 9.8/10 MUSIC & SOUND: The score is rather weak, limted to a few cheerful tunes and one "boss" theme. Although it is pleasing to hear at first, it can quickly become old after a few chapters. Now, I'll bet that you thought I would complain about the "wakkawakka" noise that Pac-Man makes, but I never really got sick of it, I'd rather like to think that if America's youth isn't used to that noise from the arcade version of Pac-Man, then America has gone to the dumps. 7.0/10 CONTROLS: I know I mentioned it above, perhaps I shouldnt have, but what can you do. Unless you really practiced your cursive in elementary school, then you might have trouble here, as I did. But luckily Nintendo allowed the more creative of us gamers to be able to draw wacky shaped Pac-Man, which are, if nothing else, very amusing. 8.0/10 Tanooki's Overall Rating: 9.0/10 |
