    Good-
    Solid level design; Fun optional content; Looks neat.
    Bad- Some might find it too straightforward; Jumps can feel a little floaty at times. Thoughts- Clearly, this isn’t a genre giant. The original wasn’t when it first launched in 1999, and Pac-Man World Re-PAC, which is a very faithful recreation of that experience, definitely feels a little dated in its simplicity. For    Good-

    Thoughts-
    Clearly, this isn’t a genre giant. The original wasn’t when it first launched in 1999, and Pac-Man World Re-PAC, which is a very faithful recreation of that experience, definitely feels a little dated in its simplicity. For fans of the original game and for fans of the genre as a whole, there’s definitely plenty of enjoyment to be had here- but once you’ve played through the game (which shouldn’t take too long), it probably won’t stick out in your memory for too long.    … Expand

    This is amazing remake of the original PS1 game. I love the controls and looks. The levels doesn't take too long to complete and they are fun and short I enjoy them and they look good the gameplay is very satisfying.

    Pac-Man World: Re-Pac might be a bit basic at times, but it nails the mechanics and delivers on the production. It feels like exactly the kind of thing I would have enjoyed as a kid — which basically means I also enjoy it now as a platforming-crazed adult. I’m glad Namco is looking to its classic catalog in this way, and I’m hoping it means we get more from them in this style. Pac-Man fever? I have it.

    Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a pretty fun remaster. Its scenarios are very varied, and its gameplay keeps you entertained. Unfortunately, the fun ends very soon, and there are few replay values.

    A solid remaster with improved graphics and mostly great gameplay. The controls aren't always mapped handily, but the gameplay remains solid. The many references to the original Pac-Man are great, but the frequent need to backtrack is not. The levels are well designed while the bosses have a lot of variety. The game isn't very long, thich means it doesn't overstay it's welcome.
