More Information

PAC-MAN was updated to Version 3.5.0 on March 26, 2013. The update added support for iOS 6 and iPhone 5, fixed a Game Center issue, and updated some functionality. The current version has 200 customer ratings with an average of 4.5 out of five stars. Feedback comments are actually negative, with users complaining about the most recent update.

I didn’t have the old version, so I have nothing to which compare the new version. I found zero issues with the new version, and think this game is just awesome. It brings back all the old feelings I used to have while playing the arcade game. I recommend that anyone download it. This is easily one of the best classic arcade games for iPhone ever.
