What makes a game so interesting? What breaks away from the rest of the games using never before innovations on one handheld game? Pac Pix is an amazing, yet unusual game. It full applies to the interestingness and unusualness. Using the stylus is just amazing on this game. While the game is a bit short lived because it's basically drawing, in a sense, it actually teaches you. I go to a magnet Art school and many things in this game relate to my studies such as Gesture drawings. Now let's be real. Mr. Gerstmann is a great person, although I believe he is a bit biased, he is entitled to his opinion and I think his opinion is very well supported, yet, I still think Pac Pix is more than what he says it is. Gameplay: The gameplay is not really gameplay anymore. It's basically having fun drawing and animating your own creations. While it's not as good on the DS screen than the sketchbook, this is a creative and unique game anyone would play for hours. Graphics: It's great you know... I think it could be better, yet the 2D animation is funny and simplistic and the top screen pac teacher is nicely illustrated. It has nice fluent 30-60 fps graphics, while it might not be as noticeable because the animations don't really move organically, as in saying they don't move around a lot. Audio: A bit stupid actually. I think Namco could've used better sound than the re-recording of Pac Man games. While it has much more sound effects, the overall sound is not outstandingly achieving superiority. Value: I really think you should rent it. While it's an awesome game, you will get bored of it after a few hours of gameplay. It can be fun at most times, but some are repetitive and makes you yawn. Pac Pix does show outstanding quality innovation, but if you want more than just a sketchbook on your screen, just try this one out as a rental. If you want to play it again, rent it again. Overall: Pac Pix is an outstanding piece of equipment. I say equipment more than a game because it basically attracts you from the way it is, not the way it plays. Pac Pix is a nice achievement for Namco. Although it could do better, I think Pac Pix deserves more than mediocrity in its reviews.
There are some horrors in which there is simply no escape. Thy name is Pac-Pix for the DS. It's a game which the true horror lies in the fact in you actually might've spent money or, heaven forbid, TIME on this monstrosi... Read Full Review
Pac Man has infestedso many games, ate so many ghosts, and has been made a classic of video games that it's ironic and actually interesting that Namco would have a design such as Pac Pix. In Pac Pix you draw Pac Man,... Read Full Review
