Launched this morning at 9am, Pac-Man Championship edition is an Live Arcade exclusive, and will cost you 800 microsoft points (thats just ove seven of her majestys pound notes)
Heres the low down from xbox.com:
PAC-MAN Championship Edition is the same beloved PAC-MAN game played in pizza parlors and arcades of the Eighties, but is updated with new features that former PAC-MAN fanatics and new generations of fans alike will love. It includes new mazes that dynamically change shape during gameplay, six new timed game modes, new soundtracks, and high-definition (HD) graphics.
Game Highlights
The game features a classic 2-D presentation with a new, modern look in HD, including six new, timed game modes:
Championship Mode: This is the main game mode designed by NAMCO BANDAI Games and Iwatani specifically for the championship round of the Xbox 360 PAC-MAN World Championship. This mode—as well as all others within the PAC-MAN Championship Edition—features redesigned mazes with wide maze walls and a widescreen configuration to better enable high-speed game play. Timed limit of five minutes.
Challenge Mode 1 (Patience and Reward Course): This mode is an evolution of the Championship Mode. Patience mazes strategically offer fewer Power Pellets and Reward mazes provide a larger number of Power Pellets—providing unique challenges and rewards. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
Challenge Mode 2 (The Darkness Course): In this mode, only the area directly around PAC-MAN and the Ghosts is visible and the maze walls are completely hidden. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
Extra Mode 1 (The Freeway Course): An extremely high-speed mode for advanced players, this mode features warp-speed PAC-MAN and Ghosts and plenty of tunnels. Timed limit of five minutes.
Extra Mode 2 (The Manhattan Course): A mode inspired by the streets of Manhattan—the home for the first-ever Xbox 360 PAC-MAN World Championship. Timed limit of five minutes.
Extra Mode 3 (The Overall Course): A mix of all other modes resulting in extreme mazes for the most devout PAC-MAN fans. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
The game also features Xbox LIVE leaderboards, achievements, and Gamerscore
