![]() ![]() Rated "E 10+" for comic mischief and fantasy violence. ("Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions" by Namco Bandai Games America retails for $40 for 3DS - Plays fun. "DX" is even more fun, and it’s downloadable from Xbox Live for $10.īy the way, why in the world is "Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions" rated "E 10+" for fantasy violence - keeping it from kids younger than 10? I swear, the ratings people at the Entertainment Software Ratings Board are the most overprotective nannies ever. However, I don’t understand why "Pac-Man Championship Edition DX" isn’t included. "Championship Edition" moves very quickly and revitalizes "Pac-Man" from the grave.Īnother game within the game, "Galaga Legions," is similarly a beefed-up version of the original "Galaga." You fire laser beams, while rival ships zip all around you. So you’ll be eating dots, eluding ghosts, when the whole board changes shape while new dots pop up in various spots. My favorite game within "Dimensions" is "Pac-Man Championship Edition." It looks and sounds like the old "Pac-Man." But instead of having fixed dots for Pac-Man to gobble up, dots appear suddenly on grids that change suddenly. "Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions" comes with the old "Pac-Man" and "Galaga" arcade games, plus a few new iterations of those classics. I quit "Virtua Tennis 4" to play more of "Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions," a new throwback game for the Nintendo 3DS. But the computer player never hits "out." That is obscenely frustrating. That’s dull.Īnd I can hit the ball out of court, losing a point. When I do play actual tennis, computer rivals are superb, and I end up volleying for two minutes. The only consistent way to revitalize your health is during the board game - if you get lucky enough to land on a restful hotel. The worst: When you do play tennis, your player gets very fatigued, very fast. ![]() In another minigame, you swing your racket to knock soccer balls into a net guarded by an automated goalie. In one minigame, a tennis ball machine spits balls at you, and you have to return the ball in such a way that you hit giant playing cards. ![]() The game just tells you that you met them. ![]() You land on board-game spots that make you play mini-tennis games or spots that injure you or spots where you meet fans off screen. Yes, I said a board game, as in: You must move a pawn across a board that looks like "Risk." Nope, instead of letting you play a series of full matches, you have to play a board game. But if you play the create-a-player mode, you don’t get to play a linear tour of one match after another. And the tennis is decent when it happens. You know why? Because you should never ask, "Where’s the tennis?" in a tennis game. I can’t in good conscience recommend "Virtua Tennis 4," unless you’re a severe fanatic of tennis video games. ![]()
