Review and how it works
PacMania II: Special Pac-man has been made in 1980 by a Japanese company Namco. Pac-Man's form and color resemble a pizza missing one piece. Namco's designer Tohru Iwatani hit upon the idea when eating a pizza. The rest belongs to history.
The brand name Pac-Man is licensed by above 250 companies and is used in above 400 utilities. There are Pac-Man air fresheners, telephones, corn flakes and even automobiles. The name itself originated from a Japanese word "paku-paku", which means "eating". There was made as a real Pac mania.
In PacMania we keep running through the intimidating labyrinth together with Pacman, eating the dots and hunting the evil monsters. The game play was made as a suspenseful 3D-style original remake of the special 1980 Pac-Man adventures with a number of catching novelties.
The first novelty of PacMania II is 3D environment. The Pac Mania leading character, the galleries' walls and bonuses are presented in 3D-style with shadows and lights.
The combination of stylish sound effects and 3D design produce the original atmosphere of PacMania 2, that has something from a puppet-show with a bent to mysticism.
The game PacMania II may be operate in two modes - "classical" for those longing for sweet nostalgia; and "new" for young fun seekers. There also was made as an uncommon CarMania mode- for those of you, who love cars more then pizza.
The second novelty, featured in PacMania 2, was made as a chance to exchange roles with the monsters. Some dots, when swallowed by our hero, turn all the monsters chasing after him into defenceless victims. So the users are helped to start hunting for PacMania monsters!
Beware -each "eaten" Pac Mania monster soon returns to the game in its "blood-thirsty" incarnation. Racing through the labyrinth becomes some sort of a strategic headache. You have a few seconds to answer the key question "To eat or not to eat?" Start the journey now to know the answer!
