    9/10 ps4
    3/10 switch
    Horrible horrible frame rate lag , terrible stutter, even worse joypad/con lag in both undocked mode, and unforgivibly..noticably worse in docked mode, in a game that 60fps is a precision requirement. This is a seriously flawed port. such a shame as I have the ps4 version too which I bought the switch version off the strength of that one. Casuals will probably    9/10 ps4

    This is a seriously flawed port. such a shame as I have the ps4 version too which I bought the switch version off the strength of that one.
    Casuals will probably disagree and wonder why i gave it a low score, but high score arcade junkies and hardcore gamers will understand why this stinking mess means its impossible to attempt any serious score in this port.
    The gameplay mechanics is is the only redeeming factor that gives it a 3 score for anyone wanting to play the best Pac man since championship deluxe (a masterpiece).
    Stating 'but it's on switch so it's on the go' is not an excuse.
    If your the next budding Billy Mitchell, go get the ps4 version.    … Expand

    Play Championship DX instead of this. You can get it on steam or xbox. Unfortunately, they still haven't ported DX to switch or ps4/5.
    Anyways, Pacman Championship Edition 2 ruins everything that made championship edition dx great. Now it's just a mess. Don't play this.

    Terrible horrible game. Save your cash. Original game is a classic fun game. This is trash!

    Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is essentially an expanded version of its predecessor and one which does a very competent job at bringing the Pac-Man experience back, with all its frantically addictive gameplay that made the very first game an immortal classic, now with a cooperative multiplayer experience. While some more additions would be appreciated, this edition is certainly very welcome to the Nintendo Switch catalog, where it will find its place among the fans.

    PMCE2+ is an excellent addition to the Switch eShop, not to mention a spectacular evolution of the Pac-Man franchise. A lot of games have legacies, as Nintendo fans know very well, but some of the older titles that pioneered the industry are either stuck in re-releases or not as engaging to today’s players. If PMCE2+ is proof of anything, it’s that with a little ingenuity, the core mechanics of these classics can easily appeal to a contemporary audience.

    Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus takes an already fiendishly addictive arcade game and adds a fantastic multiplayer mode. At $20 it’s an impulse buy for any Switch owner.
