Parent and Kid Reviews
Is It Any Good?
There's really not a lot that's new with PAC'N-JUMP, but that doesn't stop it from being an eminently enjoyable diversion. Stealing the successful Doodle Jump formula, the game puts Pac-Man on a vertical quest, rather than a maze-based one. And while he still gobbles up dots and power pellets, he also has a series of platforms to help him get higher -- and boost the player's score. The controls are very responsive and rather than being a one-trick pony, players can unlock additional maps that pit Pac-Man against enemies from other classic arcade games, such as Dig-Dug, Rally-X, and Galaga. It's a retro twist on what is already an iDevice gaming classic.
