    An adorable adventure that incorporates platform aspects from the Mario’s and Sonic’s of the world into one nice package.

    It's simple, but the game makes brilliant use of the classic's design, and the whole retro style never seems forced.
  4. PSX Nation

    Classic platforming action done right. It’s tough as nails, fun and paced to near perfection. What it isn’t, is very original.
  5. GamerWeb Sony

    The camera problems and the game's unnecessarily uneven difficulty seal Pac-Man World 2's fate, in spite of the game's depth.
  6. TotalGames.net

    Aside from some dodgy camera work (as always) this is a simple and at times fun game, which will be enjoyed by very young players. But there are plenty of better games like this out there.

    Namco has bastardized one of our favorite timewasters into a ho-hum jump-a-thon with the occasional maze thrown in.

    Pac Man in 3d puts an interesting new spin on a classic. The movement control feels rounded making precision difficult in certain situationsPac Man in 3d puts an interesting new spin on a classic. The movement control feels rounded making precision difficult in certain situations such as attacking enemies, but it does not ruin the platforming. The platforming is very good. Pac Mans abilities are noticeably different than the average platformer character, giving this extremely simple game something new to offer. You can take or leave the story. It is not necessary or interesting. I would recommend this game for enthusiasts or those who want to see what Pac Man turned into.… Expand

This one has a better camera and is everything the first one should've been. Of course though, it's not without its problems. Like a lot of 3D games, the camera, while better than the first is not the best. The game is more challenging than hard, but there are those frustrating moments. This was basically an improved version of the first game in the way it plays. But there are also unlockable games, like the original Pac-Man (obviously), Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Mania, etc. I know you can just get those through Namco Museum games, but it's still cool to have those included. This is a good game.… Expand
