After all your rants, ravings and clever words (Heh. Smorgasbord.) I succumbed and got Pac-Pix! :evil:
...Wait, why am I mad?
This game rules! :D Now I see why you were so nutso about it. It's a ton of fun. It isn't the most content-filled game by any means but the novelty of the gameplay is fantastic and it remains consistently fun, at least for as long as I've played it. It's one of the best Pac-Man games since Pac-Man, I'd wager, simply because it once again focuses on a neat, new concept and executes it well.
Now I just have to wait for Kirby and I'll be in DS heaven.
