As part of Microsoft’s “Deal of the Week” promotion, PAC-MAN® Championship Edition DX is now available for half price (400 Microsoft Points) on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
Originally released in November 2010 for Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation®Network for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX twists the beloved PAC-MAN gameplay into one of the most frantic, addicting and satisfying experiences of the year.
PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX builds upon the successful gameplay found in 2007’s PAC-MAN® Championship Edition with more mazes and modes than ever before. New to the series are the multitudes of sleeping ghosts that infest each maze. As PAC-MAN runs past these ghosts, they become angry and chase him until he finds a Power Pellet. If a ghost gets too close, a slowdown effect will begin giving the player an extra vital second to figure out the best course of action. If the ghost train becomes too much to handle, players can set off a bomb which sends all active ghosts back to the center of each maze. Score as many points as possible in Score Attack, Time Trial and Ghost Combo modes and rise to the top of the online leaderboards.
PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX is rated “E” for everyone and available on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 400 Microsoft Points (regularly 800), and the PlayStation Network for $9.99.
PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX is now available for direct download from the Xbox LIVE Arcade. The game weighs in at 213 MB and will cost you 800 MS Points.
