Pac Man Mega Tunnel Battle Chomp Champs Review Cons:

• Does require a Playstation online subscription and won’t even boot into the game until you get signed up.
• A lot to take in at first.
• Matchmaking is not always the fastest and you don’t get any feedback on how many players are joined or anything.
• Cannot see how many active players are online matchmaking.
• With the frantic nature of the game, it’s very hard to keep track of what power-ups you have, how many people are left, or your progress in general.
• In some ways, it feels like an add-on to a game rather than its own standalone.
• You have to hit level 10 before you see previous game stats and unlock ranked play.
• The mazes don’t change up enough.
• It’s a game you would only play for a few runs here and there as it doesn’t offer enough to keep you hooked.
• Only has a dozen or so missions and then they just repeat over and over.
• It doesn’t have a Katamari level!
• Don’t see the point of bringing up the player list.
