    Definitely one of the best games I have played on Gamecube. Even the occasional camera problem didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this one.

    I am not one to look a gift-horse in the mouth, what is there is fun -- and fun is fun.

    It doesn't have the graphics of say, Luigi's Mansion, but what it does it does well. If not for the camera problems it would seem that Namco has almost perfected it's own platformer formula.

    The only noticeable difference between this and the PS2 version of PMW2 is that the load time has been reduced significantly. [May 2002, p.113]

    While Pac-Man World 2 uses generally the same formula as most other platform games available today, it still manages to stay above the rest with brilliant use of Namco’s mascot and wonderfully produced sound.

    Essentially a good game hampered by some careless oversights. Some levels will force players to endure countless deaths (falling into bottomless pits), the camera system is archaic and some bosses are cheap as hell.

    It's a shame more levels weren't built around these activities or the mazes, since the platform action gets tedious.

A solid platformer with refined movement and fun enough gimmicks to keep it fresh. A very underrated soundtrack and a good sense of atmosphere give it a great deal of charm. The camera control can be shaky at times but this really didn’t effect my overall enjoyment. Overall a fun experience and one of the hidden gems on the Cube.… Expand
