The camera problems and the game's unnecessarily uneven difficulty seal Pac-Man World 2's fate, in spite of the game's depth.
-
PSM Magazine[It] does still suffer from a problematic camera. Often, it's difficult to get the best possible angle necessary for precise platform jumping. [Mar 2002, p.31]
-
Classic platforming action done right. It’s tough as nails, fun and paced to near perfection. What it isn’t, is very original.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyThe level design is straightforward and challenging (especially later stages) but relatively low on surprises. [Apr 2002, p.141]
-
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.
-
Game InformerThe developers failed to develop a camera system capable of dealing with the 3D action. [Mar 2002, p.79]
-
A harmless game with classic standard platform gameplay, and classic 3D platform camera problems.
-
Chief among the problems is a camera that doesn’t react well to the sudden changes associated with jumping, with imprecise controls being a close second. The end-result is a series of ridiculously difficult stages simply because you don’t have the tools to respond to the tasks at hand.
-
One thing in its favour was the gorgeously rendered fruit, that look so realistic and juicy that we swear we were salivating during our time with the game - but that's about as good as it gets.
