Pac-Man Fever is a party video game released for GameCube and PlayStation 2 in 2002. Like in many party video games, players move about on a virtual game board, with the object of the game being to reach the end first. It allows for up to four players, featuring six characters from other Namco games to choose from. The game is similar to the Mario Party games.

Gameplay

There are three different types of game boards to play, Medieval, Space and Tropical, each with their own set of minigames. After selecting a board, players can also choose to play a short, medium or long game, each game a different amount of tiles.

The game is played in rounds, each round begins with a four-player minigame, the results of which decides how many spaces each player moves forward on the board. Each tile on the board has an effect, too. These include moving forward/going backward a few steps, losing/gaining/stealing tokens, playing a single/two-player minigame, the ability to spend earned tokens, and a raffle game to earn redemption tickets. When on a "store" tile, the player can spend tokens to: move steps forward, move others backward, buy raffle tickets, or gamble to earn more tokens.

Once a player has reached the end, the game is over and players will receive redemption tickets based on how far they got on the board. These can then be used to buy each minigame separately, which can be played in short tournaments outside the main game. Alternatively, or once all minigames have been bought, the player can let the tickets tally up to indicate their overall high score.
