After the backlash that Resident Evil: Mercenaries caused with its singular save file, you wouldn’t think another company would be game enough to do it again right? Well, you’d be wrong. According to a report from Wired.com, not only does the cartridge prohibit itself to be reset, but Namco Bandai has gone one further by essentially making the leaderboards in the game useless.
Unlike every other iteration of Pac-Man out there, this version only logs your most recent high score and doesn’t include a leaderboard. That means if you don’t get as much as you did on your best run you won’t know how far you were off as it only stores the top record. This high score obviously can’t be restarted either, nor can the achievements system the game has built-in, or any of the extras you unlock.
The game has just been released in America today and will be out in Australia on the 25th of August. Anyone picking this up disappointed by this move? Does it affect your purchasing decision?
