The Blade's Will Harrison: Combining pulse-pounding electronic dance music, vibrant colors, and break-neck speed, Championship Edition DX left a mark on the previous generation of consoles as one of the best — and most overlooked — games on the market.
Six years later, Namco has returned to the well with Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 and largely succeeds in not ruining the fun and energy of its predecessor.
This new Pac-Man iteration isn’t as good as what came before but certainly scratches the itch to eat ghosts while watching a game that looks and feels like a psychedelic experience.
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.
