If you think that killed pac man watch this tv show trailer for pac man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqLCSt-0S4Y&NR=1 This was shown at e3 2010 and now that we have this game and tv show it's a double kill.
Your logic is faulty. I'm not too savvy on the history of Pac-Man, but if you think them redesigning the characters is bad, then having human characters in Pac Man Fever is complete blasphemy. They've re-imaged Pac-Man more than just a few times and from what I understand, all of the games were shitty. I mean seriously, haven't you ever played Pac In Time? Absolutely horrible. Last Pac-Man game I remember playing and enjoying was Adventures of Pac-Man 2 on SNES, game wasn't anything to write home about either.
Also, as others have pointed out, since when wasn't Pac-Man family friendly? Oh that's right, I forgot about that game where he picked up hookers and then killed them for their drugs.
The last Pac-Family game that I really, REALLY enjoyed was Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness on the Dreamcast. I played it on and off for years, and just last winter, I finally sat down and completed the whole frikking thing. It was a blast and had great replay value - my kids still love to play it.

So am I the only person who enjoyed that trailer? I admit, I'm a diehard Pac-aholic though.
