PacmanandMariofan's Review of Pac-Man for the NES!
Hello! This is my review of Pac-Man for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). I've been playing this game for 6 years and I still love playing it.

Graphics: 8

The graphics are really impressive, especially for a game released in 1993. I find the graphics in this version of Pac-Man to be even better than the original arcade version. The pellets are now yellow just like Pac-Man and everything is shaded darker and it looks a lot nicer that way in my opinion. That truly is all I can say about the graphics.

Sound: 8

The sound may be a little weird compared to the original, but it's an NES game and all consoles aren't built to sound exactly the same. I prefer the sound in this version over the arcade version as well as the graphics. The sound effects may seem completely different, but they are still sound just like the regular Pac-Man sounds. The only music in this game is in the intermissions between certain levels. During the actual game, all you hear is this weird sound in the background which is basically just one note repeating itself over and over and it gets faster as you progress throughout the level. You'd think it'd be really annoying for everyone, but no! No one seems to mind that weird sound, which is awesome!

Addictiveness: 8

Even though it's just the same maze over and over and the game practically never ends (I don't even know if it does end!), you'll be surprised with how addicting this game can be. Eating pellets and avoiding ghosts seems to be really fun for most people who try it. The other reasons this game is so addicting are because you have to try to get a high score (which is pretty easy for most of us) and to see how far you can get in the game before you lose all of your extra lives. That can become addicting really fast.

Story: BLANK

There is no story. You just have to eat all of the pellets in a maze and avoid contact with the ghosts for fun (and a high score)..

Depth: 8

There may be no real point to this game besides seeing how far you can get or how high your high score can be, but this game does have a lot to do. There are way too many levels (the game could be endless, but I will never know unless I use savestates and/or cheat codes!), there are 4 ghosts to avoid and 4 ghost-eater pellets you can use to eat the ghosts and keep them away from you for a few seconds, and a preset high score of 10000 that you can try to beat!

Difficulty: 7

This game isn't too hard if you develop a good strategy or pattern to use in each maze or if you know what each ghost's secret is.

Overall: 9

This game has a lot to do and it can be a lot of fun for almost everyone who tries it! I suggest you try this game if you haven't already and if you want a good challenge, this game is just right for you! I hope you enjoyed this review!

 I posted the video to demonstrate a pretty good line to take for the first 1/3 of each level. I can explain it in more detail if anyone wants.

 Since only neal and I have ever gotten over 100K in the Tengen version I will not compete unless someone gets over 200K. Just want you all to know, considering my video, that I'm not planning anything sneaky.

 Sorry for the double post. I guess hitting back on my browser just after I post is was causes it. Good to know.

 There's a trade off for eating ghosts rather than using the pills to clean up. If you die because you left some dots behind in precarious positions you should make note of that mistake.
