Namco has cooked up something surprisingly original for Pac-Man's DS debut. Granted,
there aren't a whole lot of options for a giant yellow circle with a mouth—unless you make the mistake of
letting it sprout arms and legs—but this latest installment charters new territory by taking advantage of the DS's
unique stylus feature. That's right, players will actually draw Pac-Man with the stylus, aiming the image at any number
of ghosts that appear and travel at random across the screen. Once the image is drawn (correctly!) it will spring to
life and start chomping in the direction its mouth faces, and in order to get Pac-Man to change directions, players
must draw lines (or walls) to keep him in play—if a ghost passes through a wall, the line is ruined. The object of the
game is to gobble as many ghosts as possible before the time runs out, or the ink does. No seriously, players
will have a fixed amount of virtual ink to use for Pac-Men and wall drawing. We're not sure that this title will be
"extremely addictive", but it has certainly caught our eye.
