CERGY-PONTOISE, FRANCE ? 15 June 2010 ? It’s one long extended 30^th birthday party for PAC-MAN this year, as NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. today announced the forthcoming release of PAC-MAN Championship Edition? DX via Xbox Live® Arcade and PlayStation® Network this coming autumn 2010.

The massively enhanced sequel to the critically acclaimed Xbox Live® Arcade title PAC-MAN Championship Edition, which has been played by 1.5 million people worldwide since launch, will invite PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360® owners to guide the little yellow fellow around a vast series of vexing mazes on the run from the day-glow ghosts.

NAMCO BANDAI Games have responded to player feedback for the new PAC-MAN Championship Edition? DX and gone for broke with the game content, gameplay, music and visuals. Not content with the six courses in the first version, the new game features more than a 100 mind-boggling varied and challenging mazes to navigate. Building on the Time Score Attack mode featured in the original, this time players can also choose from a new Time Attack mode, a Mission mode with a series of objectives to fulfil, and Ghost mode in which players are rewarded for the number of ghosts gobbled.

With brand new visual variations and music, plus all the great features of the first PAC-MAN Championship Edition including high-definition graphics and mazes that dynamically change shape during play, PAC-MAN Championship Edition? DX is a game worthy of the yellow hero’s 30^th birthday.
