PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs Review - The Final Verdict

No, it's not Pac-Man 99, but you can be forgiven for thinking that PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs is familiar. After all, it launched as PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle in 2020 - a Google Stadia exclusive that would subsequently go down with the platform.
Now that it's back on multiple platforms, complete with cross-platform play and minor changes, it offers an altogether different battle royale approach. You now directly invade other players' mazes during matches, consuming their dots and Power Pellets, leveraging Power-ups and causing chaos. It's a novel approach that can be fun for a few hours.
Bandai Namco still needs to build on it, offering more content, a proper Ranked experience that makes wins and losses matter, offline options and much more. Whether PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs will get that is unknown, but it's a decent experience.

This is what I dont get about some online reviewers - 6 1/2 minutes highly praising a game only for the last 30 seconds to get a sudden dump of negativity and BOOM, a 6/10 for what initially was sounding like and 8 or 9.

[@michaelschneider1365]

so it’s a 8/9 game and seems worth it. i’m buying it today. it’s a shame it’s just online my son would have loved this but with no offline modes that’s a bummer.

[@bigzachful]

Yeah, wtf was that he just ranted off a list of negativity for 20 seconds and dropped a 6. It seems like it was an 8 the whole time…

[@mattpike7268]

It's great to see Pac-Man getting some much deserved love over the past few years. Pac man museum+ is amazing, and stupidly cheap. Leaderboards are active too. Worth every penny of the $20 for the physical PS4 copy.

[@MangoFruitloops]

I like the review, honest and upfront and tells everything you need to know. I think I’m definitely still picking up this game and I’d honestly think they would still support it more down the line.

Hope we get more Pac-Man world games.

[@natejoe9924]

I also hope we get more Pac-Man world I 100% agree with you

I’m not sure how well the remake is doing but I really liked it and I hope they do the second game too

It makes me sad that Pac-Man 99 (online matches) died for this.

[@danieleberly9629]

It didn’t. This existed before 99 did

[@JohnSmith-cq7lk]

I loved pacman 99. When that was removed I wasnt refunded, I wont be buying this.

[@Deltax5]

does this have a multi packman mode like packman 99? what happen to that?

[@punkydudester3]

I like it, it looks great! I hope it's on the nintendo switch

[@augustino7529]

It is

Good review!

[@move_i_got_this5659]

It's a great arcade experience. It's not meant to be played for hours at a time. I've played 64 games, I have 50 wins.

[@dr.wolfstar1765]

Pacman 99 isnt discontinued

[@boltdoesstuff]

It is

[@MrJayflow2010]

can you play co op?

[@Kool_T_Games]

If you don’t see a controller next to the players names, you’re playing bots. There’s hardly any real players in the game. That’s why it’s so easy to win. I’ve played matches with up to 15 real people and it was a blast. Its more challenging and the matches can be long.

[@jermainturner808]

It’s pac man lol😂🎉🎉🎉🎉yes

[@mattpike7268]

Hell yeah 🍻 got Pac-Man museum+?

[@bryancook6345]

Did you forget this Pac-Man was on the Google stadia it’s not a new Pac-Man you just didn’t own the Google stadia to why you never heard of this Pac-Man game

[@Jautaube]

This looks like "a 6yo programmed this in his spare time in a garage for a lollipop" cash grab. Wihtout singleplayer? Just ignore this.

[@oromori882]

Lmao br pacman

[@hankhall7058]

Take away pacman 99, and charge 30 bucks for practically the same thing. No thanks. Not for that price. I'll wait till it's on sale for 3 dollars on the eshop. Cause it will be.

[@3rooklyn]

It's only 20 bucks. It's worth it

What is this garbage in the walls... can you turn it off?
