Like Jfe2 Pacman CE was my first game I got 100% achievements on 360. Awesome game. If this is going to be a multiplayer pseudo sequel then I'm definitely up for getting this. Let's hope it comes to XBLA, I will be buying that on day 1!

I play PacmanCE using my madcatz fightpad.

Totally agree. PMCE is awesome as hell. Love it, love it, to this day.

I recently bought the "drumpad" for a good 360 d-pad. It's one of the only real d-pads available on the system. Check out the updated first post in this GAF thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=387333

I've been using it for about a week now and it's pretty damn awesome. Only draw back is, no bumper or triggers, face buttons only.

Holy cow, you can get those portable drum controllers for less than £9 on ebay. I think I'm gonna get one. I wonder how much I'd get if I sold the pads separately as spares...

I imagine that a scoring system will be put in place eventually - there is no reason for their to be fruit if there is no scoring system.

Ohh. Looks pretty sweet!

It will be intriguing how they will bring this to XBLA since it doesn't look that far removed from PacMan:CE it would be nice if it was just simply made into a 400msp expansion for Pacman:CE. Unless it gains a pretty substantial single player mode I can't see this being worth much more than 400msp, I'll be pretty cheesed off if it comes out at 800msp in it's current state.

Looks to me more like you play the ghost and the Pac-Men are after you?

No, you play as a pacman and when you get a power pill you become big and can eat the other smaller pacman and the ghosts.

Considering how much I love Pac-Man Championship Edition, I'm bound to love this one. On top of that, they're releasing Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, which is essentially looks like Pac-Man World 4. Can't wait. :D

This game is an absolute blast in the arcade. My entire family was playing it on Mother's Day weekend.
