Probably the best Pacman creation!
Basically that is the whole review... because, what more can you say about Pacman? Everyone knows the circular character who gobbles up pills and little balls, evading dangerous ghosts and taking any opportunity to eat them too!
Deluxe Pacman is perfectly entitled to its name, as the legendary character gets a serious face-lift and huge bursts of colour. The maze-like levels look as if they have been made out of neon-tubing, while the ghosts are multi-coloured and bright - turning a terrified blue when edible. The pills and balls have a spherical look to them, as well as changing appearance in different levels, pills could be orange, blue, red or even two-tone capsule pills. Powerups and fruit are plentyful, allowing much greater 'take-a-chance' moments; they appear just below the 'ghost house' in the centre, and it is up to you whether to go for the powerups or not! Powerups include, edible ghosts, speed pacman, invincible pacman and instant ghost death.
Sounds make this game truely amazing and fun; they are upbeat and cheery, so even when you die you aren't completely raging. Plus the music is really groovy!
Well, I can't really say any more about this Pacman, except repeat the fact that it is one of the best, smoothest Pac games I have ever played!
