Pac-Man Kart Rally Coming to Windows Phone

Pac-Man Kart Rally Coming to Windows Phone

We're a long way from eating dots

Written by Matrarch on 02 May 12 at 00:57 | Credit to GameTagwastaken

When a company has a character they love and wants to take them out of their typical gaming habitat, you know what genre that character almost always seems to wind up in?

Kart Racers.

So it should come as little surprise that Namco's favored... puck... Pac-Man, has received this treatment. Now, his kart racing exploits will be making their way to the Windows Phone platform and, for the first time in Windows Phone history as revealed by WPCentral, will feature multiplayer over a wi-fi connection. This means that two people in the same room with WPs and the game may compete head-to-head.

Pac-Man Kart Rally Title


Like many character-themed Kart Racers, Pac-Man will be bringing along several friends from other Namco Titles, including Dig Dug, Galaga, Mr. DRILLER Online, and Beautiful Katamari. Check out the full list below:

Pac-Man characters:
Pac-Man
Blinky
Pinky
Inky
Clyde

Katamari characters:
The Prince
Ichigo

Dig Dug/Mr. Driller characters:
Hori Taizo
Hori Susumu

Galaga character:
Fighter

The game will include 13 tracks for the characters to race through, all featuring power-ups drawn from the various franchises represented in the game. Three game modes, Tournament, Challenge, and Survival, will also be available. You'll have to use tilt controls for steering in this one as well as on screen buttons for brakes and power-up usage.

Multiplayer! sa-weet! Hope there's not MP chieves though, not everyone will be able to get them. Looks kinda fun, but not keen on the 'tilt to turn' stuff. Id prefer a on-screen d-pad. I can't wait for network MP. Imagine, sitting on the train, racing karts against people all over the world :-)

Played the demo this morning and felt like I was playing Mario Kart on the Wii! Everything about it screams Mario Kart!
I like what I like and I don't what I don't.
