    I came into this game expecting more of an old-school gaming experience, and I stumbled into something very different. This is a 3rd person action/platformer. Any connection to Pac-Man appears to just be tacked on. It's like someone made a kid's game and decided that, to increase the appeal of the game, he should use Pac-Man. That being said, it's a very competent platformer. There'sI came into this game expecting more of an old-school gaming experience, and I stumbled into something very different.

There's a decent share of cheap deaths, and sometimes the cameras and controls can be a bothersome, but it's actually pretty fun. It's certainly not as good as Psychonauts, but a lot of the gameplay felt similar. I wouldn't recommend spending $40 on it, but if you can get it for $20, there are certainly worse ways to spend your afternoon.… Expand

    Pac Man Ghostly Adventures of a potential game, but the developer didn't saw this. The game started well at first, but quickly becomes monotonous and boring. During the six world can not stand the player's interest to maintain. Different skills are good, but do not give enough extra to the game. Has run out of ideas in the middle, and too simple. The game is mostly just kids could recommend.

    The game, at it's core, is a decent platformer. Level design has some neat ideas, and manages to combine Pac-Man with a different genre. Nevertheless, some areas just fell unfair compared to the rest of the level. Multiplayer is ok to play one or two times, but gets forgotten quickly.

    Even though this new adventure of Pac-Man is targeted towards a younger audience, due to its bad design it can be frustrating and extremely difficult without any kind of real payoff to the gamer.

    For all its flaws and the questionable attempts to modernise the Pac-Man format, you can’t fault Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures for being a run-of-the-mill, inoffensive (except for the biting) platformer.

    We hoped for a great return of PAC-MAN World style adventures, but Namco disappointed us with a generic, imprecise and quickly boring experience.
