A hilarious and utterly fascinating specimen, the American Namco folks decided to slap the big "2" on this experimental "interactive cartoon" starring Pac-Man.
You control an influencing force from beyond the 4th wall to shoot a slingshot at certain things to keep Pac-man from getting himself killed as he goes along his way through a slapstick-laden cartoon world. This game is most fun when you're just messing around as the range of scenarios, emotions, and funny expressive sprites from Pac-man are surprisingly dense.
When you actually try to progress and beat the game, however, you'll run into many very esoteric puzzles and a fickle emotion system that's difficult, but essential, to manage.
If you don't take things too seriously, this game can be very interesting and funny. It certainly never gets boring.
