Ok, yes, it's only been out 24 hours, but here's my thoughts;

Compared to Tetris 99 and Super Mario 35, Pac-Man 99 is over in a flash! It gets intense fast and you'll be dead in a couple of minutes. I played 4 matches in 10 minutes.

It's also, more or less, just Pac-man. There's more on screen than the traditional game, mostly used for attacking or resetting pellets, but your focus should remain on those ghosts, as always. Things get out of hand quickly!

Fun times had, but I think this will get old faster than Tetris and Mario did, UNLESS, your aim is to win, which I think you'll have to be a good Pac-man player to achieve!
