David (CheatMasters): Pac-Man Dash! is a running game where players get the chance to play as the iconic character Pac-Man as he does what he does best – gobbling down pellets and chasing down ghosts. There are various challenges to complete, and the fun is non-stop. Players must strive to beat the clock and make use of his abilities in order to conquer each stage, and this guide will help you ensure that you are up to the challenge.
PAC-MAN Dash is Namco’s attempt to crack the overcrowded mobile market and appeal to a new generation of potential PAC fans.
Sadly, while it’s fun in short bursts, Gamer Thumb finds it difficult to recommend Dash over other endless running games, especially with the likes of Jetpack Joyride and Dead Ahead already on the market.
Dash doesn’t attempt to offer players any new experiences, simply borrowing what it thinks is a winning formulas and dressing it up in a PAC-MAN theme.
Touch Arcade - Is there a more American game character than Pac-Man? I know it's Japanese, but come on, has there ever been a better metaphor for Fitzgerald's American Dream? The Jay Gatsby of games swallows whole each and every pellet in its path, with no hope of stopping, until the ghosts of one's past offer death's sweet release. Unlike Tetris, a Soviet fantasy about placing blocks in an orderly fashion.
Ian DeMartino of GameWoof reviews Pac-Man Dash! Praising its high speed gaming but slamming it on its IAP system saying "As far as Endless Runners go, Pac-Man Dash! would be in the running for the crown of the genre, instead it is a game full of potential, held back by one near fatal flaw."
