Playing Pac-Man with Accelerometer

[darkbeing415]

Have any of you tried playing pac-man using the accelerometer option? For me it's very painful. I don't know whether my accelerometer is just messed up or it's the game but when i try to tilt the device it doesn't go in the direction i want it to go. Anyone else with the same problem?

it won't even let me download pacman so it could be worse

Sounds cool, but it seems VERY insensitive. I would use it if it worked, since I'm afraid I will destroy the trackball. (Trackball also seems very insensitive...)

The only way to play pacman is with the trackball. The accelerometer works as intended - but the game is all about muscle twitch speed and it just cant keep up. Accel is great for racing games etc where a small lean is all you need to turn etc.

Yeah the accelerometer def doesn't seem as sensitive as it should be, just judging by the pacman game of course. I had to use trackball.

Anyone know if fixes to the accelerometer will be included in future updates. My compass on the street view setting sucks too!

I am wondering the same thing. I have problems with only the up and left responding in pac man. Then when I try that new game in the market, it seems like my accelerometer isn't calibrated. When laying flat, the ball just goes to the left and slightly up. When I place the g1 on its right side, the ball will fall toward that side slowly. My street view is also a little wonky.

I hope it's not a hardware thing and just a calibration thing.

I think this ended up as a calibration problem. I went to bed last night and put the G1 on its right side. When I woke up, I tried the Amaze game and it worked perfectly! The same with street view. I hope this helps some of you out there with accelerometer problems. I wish there was a manual recalibration, though.

nevermind. it still acting the same way. i thought it was fixed this morning, but now i just think i was too hopefull...

It's definitely not a problem with the accelerometer, but with the game itself. You can see how well the accelerometer works from the maze game. It's perfect.
