This game is so fun! Tou get to draw your own Pac-Man! If your Pac-Man is small, it goes fast. if your Pac-man is big, it goes slower, but can eat 2-3 things at a time!
 Cool idea, but VERY HIGH frustration level! July 22, 2005

I'm okay at video games, but my younger son is a whiz at them---he often beats adults who pride themselves on being stars at them! But both of us agreed this game was JUST TOO HARD. It's a terrific idea---you draw Pacmen to eat up ghosts. The Pacmen go in the direction you drew them---bigger ones go slower, littler ones faster. Sometimes you have to drive them over locks and then you can make them go up to the top screen of the DS for bonus points. It's neat because they get littler up there, but keep their same basic shape, then they come down bigger and keep eating! You can draw walls to keep them from walking off the screen, as you only have a limited amount of Pacmen for each level. At higher levels, you can also draw arrows and bombs.
We played this for a quite a while, but hit a wall about about section 1, level 5 (that's not the technical term, but there are many sections each with many levels, so you get the idea!) You can't skip levels, so we just tried over and over and over and just could NOT do it. At one point you have to eat ghosts in order, first 1 then 2 then 3. The ghost are very close together and you have to shoot them with arrows apart, then eat them. All this is within a short time limit and with limited pacmen and with needing to draw them well enough to be recognized as such...Well, I felt like crying after a bit! And I am closing in on 40 fast---I can imagine how kids feel.
I find this problem with many video games. They seem to be aimed at high end games, and ignore the fact that much of their audience are KIDS---some of which are fairly good but others of which are not. My thoughts are that the professional reviewers ARE good, and those are the ones the games are made to impress---after all, once you've bought the game, they don't make more if you actually can PLAY it!
Pick Your Pac July 18, 2005

You'll need coordination, quick reflexes and good aim if you plan on getting anywhere with Pac-Pix. Probably the most innovative title yet for the Nintendo DS, Pac-Pix has you drawing your own character and weapons for use in the game play. Few games before have been able to generate this level of connection with the player. When you see the Pac-Man you drew come to life and begin chomping baddies it's quite a thrilling experience.
The game play is almost more puzzle based than action or platformer based. You will have to figure out how to defeat enemies, get around brick walls, open doors, figure out how to defeat the boss baddies and try to collect extra lives and bonuses all while using the least amount of Pac-Mans. That's quite a lot to keep track of and it might make the game a bit daunting for some players.
There are many virtual cards that get unlocked as you play the game, but it would have been nice if a few more unlockable items were included. Also although the drawing interface is a wonder it doesn't always work well. I have a very hard time getting the game to recognize my arrows for some reason. Many times I have died on a level because my drawings weren't up to snuff.
If you are looking for an addictive, innovative game then look no further. There has never been a game like Pac-Pix before. It's probably not the best game for younger gamers, but moderate to experienced gamers can expect hours and hours of Pac-Man craziness.
Great basic arcade-puzzling game July 2, 2005

If you've got a DS and enjoy classic arcade style games, then be sure to give Pac Pix a try. You get to draw your very own pac-man and watch it gobble up ghosts!
Let me say first that this is a basic arcade game - it's NOT a game with complex soundtracks, with high quality anime fighting characters. If you're looking for shoot-em-up adventure, this just isn't it. It's more a complex puzzle game that gives you an artistic outlet. For me, this is just perfect.
In essence, you are drawing arcade weapons on the bottom part of your DS screen, to gather up goodies and eat up ghosts. You start with a pac-man. You can draw a big one that moves slowly, or a tiny one that moves super-quick. You can draw him with a big mouth or little. Whatever you draw, that's what takes off after the ghosts!
Now you draw lines to help your pac-creature move around. You can also draw arrows that fire off, bombs, and more. The puzzles grow more complex as you go - but part of the challenge here is to replay levels to try to do them as quickly as you can. This is where the puzzle-like aspect really comes in. Do you draw two tiny pac-creatures and try to keep them both going - or do you draw a larger one to eat all the ghosts in one pass? By knowing the order in which the ghosts come out, and their placement, you can plot to get them in the most efficient manner possible.
I will say that someone with poor coordination might have trouble making a pac-creature properly. You of course have to have a general circle shape with a mouth. But the game does start in beginner steps so that you can practice and learn how to use the stylus, in order to get the hang of this. Really, with so many DS games involving fine stylus control, think of this as a practice game, to get your skills built up!
