Pac-Pix represents one of the most unique games in the Pac-Man series and a good showcase early in the Nintendo DS’s lifespan. It is these simple, pick up and play titles that made the DS at launch an eye catching handheld from the console style games that the Game Boy Advance & PlayStation Portable brought to the table. It’s a cute game that gradually adds new ways to draw, chomp, and guide Pac-Man through this book adventure.
I feel that people tend to forget that early DS had a handful of mobile style games sold at retail price. It’s what seemingly along repetition that made Pac-Pix get bashed by critics then and even nowadays. To me, in its hour and a half runtime, Pac-Pix sets out to showcase everything it needs to do with a creative artifact aesthetic, bubbly soundtrack, and a fun game that only was possible on the Nintendo DS. Woah that’s a big Pac-Man you drew there…
