All the great Pac characters are together on the PC! This time, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man Jr. and Professor Pac-Man have left their mazes for a free-roaming, 3D, pellet-munching extravaganza in Infogrames’ (NASDAQ: IFGM) PAC-MAN All-Stars™.

Shipping to software retailers today [in the US], PAC-MAN All-Stars takes the Pac-Man characters out of their familiar maze-like world and places them in a fully 3D environment that pits Pac against Pac and challenges players to collect more pellets than the other Pac-Man characters in the game.

The objectives are familiar: collect all the pellets and avoid the ghosts. This time, however, the Pacs must compete with each other to gobble the most pellets and be the first to achieve victory and rescue the trapped fairies. Power-ups may give a Pac an edge – or it can take it away. PAC-MAN All-Stars plays great as single player game, but head-to-head multiplayer adds an exciting new dimension to the game play.

PAC-MAN All-Stars contains 25 game levels spread across six worlds in which the player can compete against fellow Pacs as Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Professor Pac-Man, or Pac-Man Jr. Unique, interactive environments create a playfield that can interfere with or help the players as they vie for pellets and game power-ups.

Developed for Infogrames by Creature Labs, PAC-MAN All-Stars carries an approximate retail price of $19.99 and is rate “E” for Everyone by the ESRB.
