    If you're looking for a great kart game, stick with "Mario Kart." If you really have the urge to play a kart game featuring Namco characters, then by all means, pick up Pac-Man World Rally.

    No replays, soft collision, and pesky bombs aside, PMWR is a fair rally game, and possibly the most brand-drenched racer ever. [Aug 2006, p.64]

    If you prefer racing with Namco characters as opposed to Nintendo characters, this is the game for you. But Mario Kart still finishes first with everybody else far behind.

    Though it's a solid entry to the staid genre, World Rally is a bit too kid friendly to recommend to anyone who reads past a fifth grade level. [Sept. 2006, p.99]

    But for the most part, it's a coookie-cutter kart game, and after 25-plus years of entertaining us, Pac-Man deserves more. [Oct. 2006, p.92]

    If you have a younger sibling or a rugrat of your own, sure, it may well be worth dropping 30 bucks on this thing to express your affection or shut them up or whatever you need to do. You probably just won't want it for yourself.

    You do, however, get four-player split-screen, as opposed to the PS2's two-player mode. Whatever platform you choose, Pac-Man isn't a stellar example of the genre, but it's not a shameless money-grab either.

The stages are greatly designed and themed, for example you can even play in the old fasioned pac man machine! Tons of characters from the pac man universe and also a great battle mode. Great graphics and solid gameplay too. The only problem of this game is it loses all off it's addictiveness that the pacman games are known for. But this game is definatly worth a try.… Expand

    It’s No Mario Kart, But Still Fun
    Pac-Man World Rally is definitely not as good as Mario Kart, But Pac-Man does the job pretty well.
