Pac-Man Remix is like the original Pac-Man but with lots and lots more fun. The graphics are much better, it seems there’s more color as well and the controls are easier. It looks like a big upgrade of the original Pac-Man game for the iPhone.
You have several abilities in this version of the popular Pac-Man genre. In the form of power-ups you can get the ability to call a invincible, mirror-image Pac-Man ghost that helps you eat the dots, and the ability to jump over traveling arcs of electricity. Most of the levels have elevators and transporter pads to help you get to a higher platform in that level. Furthermore there are Huge Bosses at the end of each level and you get to see animated cut-scenes to show a little bit how to play.
This is what TouchArcade says:
Pac-Man Remix succeeds in delivering a colorful new take on the original Pac-Man formula, but what concerns me is the challenge that the game provides. I began playing it on the default ‘Normal’ difficulty setting and got through all six stages in just over an hour. The ‘Hard’ setting adds to the challenge, but the game just feels too easy — far easier than either Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man. And that certainly doesn’t have you coming back for more. It’s an official Pac-Man license from Namco, and that’s a notable mark in the iPhone’s repertoire, but at $5.99 — big name license or no — the game should provide more than an hour’s playtime.
My recommendation on this one is to take a good look at the gameplay video to get a feel for the title and be quite aware that you’re in for a short-lived gameplay experience, going in. My guess is that only true, die-hard Pac-Man fans could findPac-Man Remix a sound value.
