Excerpt: "PAC-MAN Championship Edition 2 is the official sequel to the XBLA original in 2007, and while we saw a "DX" quasi-sequel in 2011, it was everything from the original PAC-MAN Championship Edition and and improved greatly on those systems. PAC-MAN Championship Edition took risks with moving away from a pure survival for high-score focused gameplay and instead focused on a more strategic type of play for high-scores. PAC-MAN Championship Edition 2 doesn't quite take the same risks, doesn't have a graphical leap with new consoles, and instead plays it safe with "more of the same" in delivering fast and energetic gameplay, at a cost of feeling fresh."
At first, glance it is not quite clear why the game is free but given these unprecedented times, it’s safe to assume it is part of the Stay at home and Play initiative.
Cheers, I wish Xbox and Nintendo would do something like this. I've already played uncharted 1,2,3 and journey back on PS3 but I'm glad to have the PS4 versions for free too and I haven't had a go of pacman championship edition 2 yet I played the first on xb360 I think and had a good time so I'm hoping this is as good or better.
MonsterVine: "The Pac-Man experience of my childhood was solitary and demanded little strategy or attention. This lack of intensity made me reluctant to frequent the arcade scene, so when I saw Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 at Bandai Namco’s New Year’s Showcase 2018, I wasn’t too interested."
Amazon has discounted the PS4 digital versions of a trio of Banda Namco digital games with Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 dropping to $6.49, Saint Seiya Soldiers' Soul to $14.99 and Project Cars: Complete Edition to $15.99.
