Took alot of retries but I got myself up to around 40th with 1.8 million.
This game demands absolute perfection and I love it.

bad gameplay lol
Man...I want to save my last $10 in PSN money for this, but Scott Pilgrim looks SO tempting. ;_;
I so shouldn't have bought Space Invaders Infinity Gene. So disappointed once I found out how broken the Field weapon is, and how 90% of the players on the rankings used it. Game's not even fun anymore.
And to think I could have had Scott Pilgrim AND Pac-Man. I am a sad.

The scores are starting to get way out of my reach.
Good!
Now I have an excuse to quit for awhile and play Littlebigplanet.
Was starting to rage anyway.

BGM 2 when the time is running low playing a sample of one of the Pac Man Themes is sublime. (Younger Gaffers might recognise it from one of the Ridge Race Revolution music tracks)
I've gotten quite a few S ranks now. I've found that doing all the time trials is actually a good method for pattern training. Afterwards I always do better in score attack.
The game truly is phenomenal.
btw I don't have enough people in my fl playing this, so feel free to add Creamium85

Indeed. I always use it. It also helps me know when time is running out because you can't miss that theme.
Question: What do you guys think is the real trigger for the sleeping ghosts? Do you have to run the patter exactly? In other words, is there only one way to get them to follow you? I swear I've gone by in the right pattern and they've awakened but haven't come after me. It seems to happen when I don't have any other ghosts following? Are they triggered more by the ghost train than by Pac himself?

They always follow me after I speed past them (doesn't seem to matter which way I go), the only time they wont, is for a few seconds after using a bomb. Maybe thats what happing to you?RadarScope1 said:
An 'alpha' ghost needs to pass for them to join. If there's 0-1 of the random pattern ghosts (the ones that spawn from the ghost box) in play, the first sleeping ghost you pass will become that alpha themselves. But if there's a bunch of random pattern ghosts in play, and none of them are passing by the sleeping ghosts, those sleeping ghosts will awaken but just sit there.RadarScope1 said:

That's what I thought. So that's why, at the very beginning of a round, the sleepers will follow you, but they won't always so so in mid-round. If you're in mid round and you bomb the train back into the box, you'll need to run by the box and re-engage the train before resuming the pattern. In my case - especially at high speed - I usually just keep on pattern and it only takes a few seconds for the train to find Pac anyway.
And, no, it doesn't make the last game obsolete - it's just different. I still love the old CE.

This is close, but not exactly correct. It doesn't matter how many "random" ghosts are in play. If there's no ghost chain following you, then the first sleeping ghost you pass by will start a new chain. Otherwise, sleeping ghosts you wake up will just sit there until the chain passes them, at which point they'll join it.Shig said:
The "random" ghosts behave similarly. When you pass near them, they get "scared"; if they run into the chain while scared, they'll join it (and a new ghost will spawn in their place).

i didn't play the first much, but aside from the 'slow down' effect how different exactly is the CE1 table in DX to the original CE?Shig said:

This game rocks!!
Is it just me, or is the Dungeon map broken?
On all three 10-minute runs I've played to completion, the map has broken when the fruit counter reads 64 on the left side, 66 on the right. The right half of the map gets all screwed up -- a new set of walls spawns, but the old dots remain. The result is that there are dots stuck in walls, so you can't clear the board.
I have to say though, it would be pretty neat to have a map with a "kill screen".
edit: yep, the fruit that spawns after the 65th clear of the left half is tainted. Don't eat it or it will break the game.

That does make more sense. The bolded part would seem to be key. It might be a way to increase the number of total edible ghosts in your chain. But you'd also have to break pattern to catch a lot of them quickly, so it might not be worth the effort.

Ok, this is fun. The stick or D pad suck when it gets fast, but it's still fun none the less.
