’80s arcade game arrives on the iPhone with mixed results

Namco has brought its classic coin-op arcade game Pac-Man to the iPod (), so it’s fitting that one of its first iPhone offerings is another version of Pac-Man. This new release for the iPhone and iPod touch is easier to see than the original iPod game, that’s for sure. It also has some innovative control options, though it comes up short on the game play side.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

same as the original

The controls are what set this version of pac man apart. Allowing for "swiping" to control the movement has turned out for me to be the best option. The gameplay is the same as what was on consoles and arcade versions of the past. A nice version overall.
