PacVenture - Pac's Odyssee
The gameplay will be familiar to anyone who has played Pac-Man (and who hasnt?): eat all the dots on each level to go to then next one. PacVenture adds a lot of innovative elements to make the gameplay more interesting. First of all, the graphics are outstanding: Mr. Pac will travel across lush forests, bustling city streets, and more diverse locales before reaching the castle. In city levels, ghosts drive cars and try to run you down; in seaside levels, you must swim for your life. And theres plenty of other levels, each with its own surprises and unique elements, to keep you glued to the screen.
On the downside, the isometric view makes playing a bit frustrating, since some dots are hidden from view behind trees and other objects. The absolute control method (e.g. pressing up means going north regardless of the direction Mr. Pac is facing) is also annoying, but youll get used to it in a few minutes. Overall, PacVenture is a well-designed and thoroughly captivating arcade-inspired underdog that youll enjoy.
