The game offers a fun cooperative experience for up to 4 local players, making it enjoyable for group play.
It features a campaign mode with a small story and puzzle-like elements, adding depth to the classic Pac-Man formula.
The graphics, music, and sound effects, while not perfect, show that effort was put into creating an engaging atmosphere.

The controls are imprecise and frustrating, deviating from the classic Pac-Man mechanics, which can lead to player frustration.
Progress is not saved, forcing players to restart levels upon dying or quitting, which can be very annoying.
The versus mode can be unbalanced, making it difficult for players to collect coins when monsters can easily camp on them.
