#PAC MAN FEVER ACTION REPLAY FULL VERSION#
It’s just not right!! I highly recommend playing the short version of each board to give yourself a nice estimate of how long the full version would take. It is sad to win a bunch of minigames only to find out that it still isn’t enough because you’re landing on bad spaces.
This prevents a player from simply walking up to the goal line thanks to a few lucky rolls of the dice. Once you are near the end, you will need to come in 3rd, 2nd, and then 1st to finally win, which is actually a very good mechanic to even things up. You play a minigame and your rank in that battle determines how far you move. You move along the course and the goal is to get to the end. The actual Party Mode is very much like Candyland or Trouble. It’s just terrible honestly and as a result, you’ll never want to play Minigame Mode since there are no good minigames to play. That’s not even counting the fact that each player’s coupon section is separate instead of merging the coupons from all players. It’s just not an efficient system and it takes forever to make any actual progress in the game. So, you need to spend about an hour or 2 per minigame and there are quite a lot to unlock. As a result, you’ll have enough coupons to maybe…maybe buy one minigame at the end of the level. You have to use lottery points that you earn during the stage and that will typically come at the expense of actually winning the level, which is always disappointing.
Unfortunately, that’s not how it works in this one. In Mario Party, once you play the minigame once, you unlock it.

It does bring up another issue though, which is that the minigames aren’t available for free roam mode. Still, I did enjoy them and the minigames help save this game from being downright bad. Combining them all into one world would give you more variety. It’s why I don’t think it was a good idea to limit the minigames to each world. There are a very good amount of minigames in the title even if you will inevitably playing them more than once. Minigames about timing and memorization…just a lot of options. There were kart minigames and even some classic “Press A as fast as you can” ones in there. I actually enjoyed them and the ideas were quite good. I’m not saying that the actual minigames are bad though. If you aren’t playing with anyone else, it’s a very boring experience. This is why I was bored out of my mind when I played the game on my own the first time.
Rinse and Repeat for all 4 characters, play the minigame at the end of the level…and then do it all over again. After each turn, each character will do a little dance, strike a pose, and then slowly walk up to the final area of where to go. The main drawback that keeps this game from being very good is the fact that playing a single board will take a very long time. This is one of my big complaints and it’s a little sudden, but let’s dive into this issue right now. The actual stage has long loading times though and each turn takes forever. Party Mode has 4 worlds I believe and each world has its own set of minigames inside of it. That’s the only thing to do here so the game is going for quality over quantity. You can go into the main Party Mode or have fun in Minigame Mode. There’s no actual story mode, but that’s all right. That being said, this is still a game that needs a lot of work and should have been much better, but terrible decisions on the developer’s part limited the title. It’s much better with multiple people, I can tell you that for sure. Years later, I ended up taking it out once more to play it with my brother and my cousin as a party game always has the potential to be a blast. Nothing gets you hyped quite like a new Pac Man game right? That’s what I thought when I first bought this game, but after playing it once, I put it in the backlog with a lot of other games and I figured that I probably wouldn’t see it again for a very long time.
