The gameplay plays out as a hybrid of ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' and most other traditional board games. 4 Players compete to reach the end of the board first. Players compete in minigames at the end of each turn, and must rank high enough on minigames to continue pass the last three fruit spaces. The first person to win a minigame while on the banana space wins the game.
Compare ''VideoGame/PacManParty'', another party game starring Pac-Man but solely consisting of characters from his universe.
!!''Pac-Man Fever'' contains examples of:
* ArtifactTitle: Despite being named after the song, the titular song itself isn't heard anywhere in the game.
* ArtShift: The four [[GuestFighter Namco all stars]] look more cartoony than their respective appearances in their home games. Reiko and Tiger Jackson are still recognizable in their deformed proportions, but then you have Heihachi looking a bit out of touch and Astaroth looking way out of place in the ''Pac-Man'' art style constantly wielding his [[{{BFS}} massive axe]] everywhere.
* BonusSpace: Players that reach raffle spaces can try their luck in a minigame to win tickets. The final three spaces on each board also act as raffle spaces for the first player that reaches them. After they are redeemed, they become ordinary token spaces as usual.
* ExcusePlot: The sole reason for Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man being here is that the ghosts are causing havoc at a film studio. and its up to them to stop the ghosts. It really doesn't matter, as Namco's top stars also want to join in on the action and have a party.
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man are the main stars, but the other four playable characters include representatives from ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer'', ''VideoGame/{{Soulcalibur}}'', and ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''. Other Namco franchises are also depicted in minigames and boards.
