With the exception of Lara Croft, Ms. Pac-Man is probably the most well-known female game character around. Her male counterpart, Pac-Man, is more universally known and has appeared on just about every platform, so it's definitely time that the other dot muncher got her due with a new game.

Set in a brand-new 3D world, Maze Madness brings more to the table than just standard maze running. This time around, though you still have to eat every dot you can find, you'll have a harder time finding and getting to them. In fact, progressing in the game hinges on whether you find every single hidden dot and fruit. For the bulk of the game, you guide Ms. Pac around a maze and use basic puzzle-solving skills, such as pushing or destroying blocks. Similar to Crash Bandicoot or Ape Escape, the game can be completed even if you don't find every secret, but if you don't, you will feel as if you've left something behind.

In keeping with the classic Pac spirit, the controls are very simple; all you need to play the game is an agile thumb to guide Ms. Pac-Man along. What this does in the end is make the game playable for just about every age group, and fun as well. Because the game is designed for all age groups, most seasoned gamers will find the game a little too easy to play and will probably finish it in no time. The single-player quest is quite large - with more than 180 mazes to explore - and will keep you busy. You'll also find minigames and secret stages to unlock as well. Once you've finished the main part of the game, you can retrace your steps with a time-attack mode and try to best your previous run through each level.
