Hell if I can find an arcade around where I live, so this is great news: Namco has released a free iPad demo version of its upcoming multiplayer-focusedPac-Man Battle Royalecoin-op game.
Tha game plays a bit likePac-Man Championship Edition, at least in layout, with the maze altering as pellets are eaten. The catch is here it’s Pac-Man vs. Pac-Man for up to four players; each a Power Pellet, gobble other Pac-Men, win.
The demo is short (only one round), and then directs you to a Facebook page which is supposed to show you where you can play an actualBattle Royalemachine in your area. (As far as I can tell right now, it doesn’t.)
Frustratingly, it seems like the game plays pretty well on Apple’s little tablet. Why not just release a full version so that I can give you my money, Namco? I’m sure the experience translates better to an arcade table machine, getting rowdy with drinks and all.
The machines just shipped, so it’s not incredibly likely you have one in your area just yet. Still, if you do, let us know.
