I could waste a few paragraphs breaking down how this game fails to champion Pac-Man in any meaningful way, but what's the point? Past all the miserable, miserable flaws is a game whose fatal flaw is... just being plain boring. Count how many levels are just the original Pac-Man maze, maybe with a small gimmick; revel in how unconfident the developers themselves were about the Pac-Man gameplay that they constantly interrupt it with forced minigames. I think that alone says all I need to say about how much fun there is to derive out of this game.

I've learned an important lesson, though: bad games deserve to be played on Easy difficulty. It's for your own good.
