[Now Playing| Pac-Pix - DS]

Namco has released some new details on Pac n’ Roll. Just the fact that it has the original Pac-Man is enough to sell me. Well, not really, but the game itself looks good and the original is a great bonus.

The Floating Castle is celebrating the large crop of power pellets gathered, when the Harvest Festival is suddenly disturbed by a UFO that emits a Ghost Beam, turning Pac-Land into Ghost-Land. Suddenly attacked by the large monster Golvis, Pac-Dad chomps on a power pellet and initiates attack – but while the other ghosts run blue, Golvis remains calm, laughing. Then from his guitar comes a Ghost Light that turns all Pac’s into spheres!

Now with the help of a little Fairy, Pac-Man must save his family and girlfriend from the evil Golvis and Ghosts. You are Pac-Man, controlling his every rolling move with the NDS stylus. Go forward, turn, dash, make a sharp stop; you can control Pac-Man any way you want. With intuitive controls and a twist on the classic Pac-Man franchise, this is a must have for your NDS game collection.

Features:
• Play with Pac-Man like a track ball! Controlling the spherical Pac-Man is easy. Use your stylus to drag him around, going forward, turning corners, dashing with all your might, coming to a super quick stop. With this much control, it’s almost like you’re in the game yourself!
• Go around the world! Explore stages in various worlds – from the Floating Castle to the Jungle, the Ghost House, the Electronic Maze and the Old Ruins. Pac-Man faces challenges like the moving floor, dash panel, jump zone and wind zone.
• Use your power items! Get the “Feather Hat” and Pac-Man can fly through the worlds, dodging and sneaking up on Ghosts. Wear the armor and Pac-Man’s defensive and destructive abilities increase – and you can even go underwater.
• Play the original Pac-Man! The original, arcade mode Pac-Man is included – play with a friend and claim the highest score, eating pellets, ghosts and fruits.
