This review is from: Pac-Man World 2 (CD-ROM)

Pac-Man World showed that while people are now looking out for games with guns, explosions, and those other kind of things, there can still be a good game that doesn't need any of that. The sequel has shown the same thing.

PMW2 plays a bit like the first game, but with several improvements. For instance, there's a fair difficulty now, and the camera angles are like how it usually would be in an average 3D game.

The gameplay is really fun. You have what you had in the first PMW: Rev Roll in a Sonic-like way, Butt Bouncing, and hey, look! Now there's a mid-air flip kick! Pretty useful at times. Like the first game, the gameplay is about eating fruits, dots, and unlocking special mazes. Sometimes, the gameplay can vary when it comes to a certain level where it has to. Like in Blade Mountain, you have to skate through caves and jump up ramps (Like how it's shown on the boxart). In the water levels (except one), it's an on-rails shooter in which you shoot the enemies trying to attack.

The mazes hidden in the game are as fun as the original Pac-Man arcade games. Although some are slight redesigns of old Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man mazes, new ones are also in the mix. You can also collect Namco tokens (which are also hidden) to be able to unlock the actual arcade games. If you go to Sue's Arcade in the Pac-Village, you can play the arcade games anytime you want after unlocking them. The games are: Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Mania, and Pac-Attack (The only console re-release not counting Virtual Console). You can also play the unlocked mazes there, too.

The sound effects are just classic and action-y. The music is also really cool to listen to. B-Doing Woods has a really lively tune to it, and the water stages have a pretty dramatic theme in each.

The graphics aren't exactly the best the PC has to offer, but they still look really good and the arcade games are replicated on-screen pixel by pixel.

Overall, if you enjoyed the first Pac-Man World, you would NEED to play this one. Better yet, if you haven't played the first one, this is a great place to start, considering how it's released on multiple systems other than Sony's line of Playstation consoles.
