I didn’t think Pac-Man could ever be considered “intense”, but this version is a pretty serious edge-of-your-seat kind of game. It’s all the joy of the original game (which is a LOT of joy) with some new twists. Instead of going level-by-level like the original, you basically play a single level that just get “refilled” each time you pick up the fruit, and you just try to stay alive for a certain amount time, while racking up as many points as possible. As your timer gets closer to the end, the ghosts get faster, and the game gets more and more intense. Very addictive, very fun.
Get it at Amazon while it’s still on sale for half price. How can you go wrong?

This is a remarkably fun game . It doesn’t matter if you are older gamer or not you didn’t have to enjoy the original pacman games to love this game. The achievements are difficult but not impossible and you should be able to attain them all but still want to play even after you get them. Pay the $5 now or if you miss the sale buy it anyways.

Pac-Man: CE is competitive fast paced Pac-Man that will challenge even the most skilled players. Unlike Pac-Man of old, the stages are dynamic and you’ll be playing on a constantly shifting map at incredible speeds. The objective is to set the highest score possible within the 5 or 10 minute time limit. There are six different modes to compete in and each has its own leaderboards which you can filter worldwide or just friends. This game is hard and not necessarily for everyone. The only complaint I have is that the Xbox 360 controller is not accurate enough for this game and will annoy you by causing cheap deaths.

this game is great. let’s get that out of the way. it’s great in a geometry wars 2 sort of way. the sort of game you can pick up and play for five minutes, or realize that five minutes just turned into two hours. it has that same sort of “burt” of gameplay that geometry wars has, and pac man ce does it all just as well.
i’m a big fan of ms. pac man, having grown up w/ a table unit at the local pizza place. i didn’t think there would be much/any change to the tried and true pac man formula in pac man ce, other than slightly prettier visuals. i was so very wrong. it’s pac man, but it’s better. it’s faster, it’s smarter, it’s more fun, it’s what pac man should have (and twenty years later did) evolved to.
i grabbed this game a few weeks ago when it was half price on amazon, and it’s so good that i’ve got new, retail releases sitting next to my xbox still shrink wrapped. i just keep finding myself returning to it night after night. i probably own about 30 live arcade games, and this one is up there w/ the best of them (geometry wars 2, carcassone, uno, puzzle quest) in my opinion. wholeheartedly recommended, you will not be sorry picking this game up.

Overall, I would agree with most reviewers who have given this game a strong review. However, I believe these reviews should be tempered by a comment on the controls.
Obviously, precision control over Pac-Man is important for your enjoyment in this game, and I find this area sorely lacking. Indeed, controlling Pac-Man with the standard 360 controller can sometimes be an exercise in extreme frustration. You will miss turns, get unexpected (and unwanted!) turns, etc, and you will get frustrated.
Casual players will probably not mind so much. And I suppose after awhile you get used to it. But trying to complete the 10 minute “challenge” modes is already pretty tricky, without the added difficulty of unreliable controls.
That being said, it is still a good game overall, unfortunately saddled with below average controls.
