    It executes on the control and design elements of the experience much better than other, more recent platformers have.

    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.

    While it doesn’t do anything new, it’s nice enough if you’re desperate for something in the colourful platform adventure genre. Sadly, it’s difficult for all the wrong reasons.

    While lacking energetic personality and clever presentation, Pac-Man World 2 does just enough to entertain on its traditional platforming mechanics alone. [Apr 2002, p.56]

    The developers failed to develop a camera system capable of dealing with the 3D action. [Apr 2002, p.79]

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