    This Pac-Man can be a good entertainment for a few hours, but not more.

    Compared to the all-time classic Pac-Man, this game has a fast-paced gameplay, a few tweaks in the behavior of the ghosts and a "jump back to start point" feature. With the electro music in the background, the game is quite dynamic. Trying to hit the S score in the challenge mode can be fun for a while.

    Beyond that there is not much to look for. 17 of the 18 achievements can be unlocked within a few hours, and the last achievement is an everlasting farm of adventure missions that artificially boosts the otherwise short play time of the game. As described above, the gameplay is limited to the strict minimum, only relying on the gradual increase of the rhythm to make it harder and harder to avoid ghosts, or eat the ghost trains. So beyond these few hours it obviously becomes quite repetitive.

    Enjoy it as the little funny game this is, but don't hope for more.    … Expand

    Championship Edition DX+ was brilliant, because it was deep enough to satisfy hardcore high score chasers, but also offered straightforward fun even to casual gamers. Championship Edition 2 is so fast a lot of people will be overwhelmed by it. [12/2016, p.46]

    Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 The new mechanics are somewhat interesting, but ultimately make it a less satisfying experience than Championship Edition DX. Also, making ghost eating a cutscene seriously breaks the flow of the game. [Nov 2016]

    The creators of Pac-Man CE 2 had the difficult task of remixing a game that has already been expanded upon and reworked to the point of refinement, and they chose to pile on the complexity anyway. The result is a Frankenstein’s Pac-Man—a mess of features and modes that, despite all the power pellets and fruit and ghosts, still left me feeling hungry.
