Pac-Attack

This is similar to the classic Tetris game in a way, with Pac-Man characters instead of blocks. The game has neat music too, I enjoyed it.

8/10 stars.

Pac-Man is back in Pack-Attack along with his nemeses Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde. This Pac-Man game deviates from the standard formula established in the classic original and instead takes a Tetris-inspired route. The twist is instead of blocks disappearing with the alignment of different colours, the blocks are all the same colour but their layout is often disrupted by ghosts. This, of course is where Pac-Man comes in, to perform his familiar tasks. There is also a puzzle mode, where the ghosts are placed in more awkward positions and the player has to figure out the most efficient way of disposing of them. Like all variations on the Tetris theme, the game is not necessarily particularly difficult, but achievements are nonetheless satisfying. The graphics retain the pleasing aesthetic quality that Pac-Man is (or should be) known for, and the music is also enjoyable. "Pac-Attack" is available on Namco's Game Boy Advanced Pacman Collection, and it is suited perfectly to the portable format.

Pac-Attack to put simply is a really fun and creative Tetris variant, Not gonna lie, I was presently surprised by this game, At first I thought this was just gonna be another Tetris game with Pac-Man code of paint (Like the different colored ghosts being the blocks and Pac-Man being the thing that comes in and eats the ghosts when you clear a line) but no, This game takes the Pac-Man formula we all know and love and tries to mix it in with Tetris, It takes a bit to gets used to but when you understand what is happening here, the game gets a lot more fun, and there's a puzzle mode too so the game has a bit of variety, Pretty cool little game!
