This review is from: Pac Man World 2 (Video Game)

Pac-Man World on Playstation proved that in a world where people would rather prefer games with guns, explosions, etc, there would still be a gem that wouldn't need any of that stuff. That stayed the same for the sequel, which was released on the Gamecube, the Playstation 2, the PC, and the Xbox. In 2004, Namco decided to re-release Pac-Man World for the Game Boy Advance. It had only 12 levels from the Playstation original, but it was still a great game to play. Now that PMW2 is released (in 2005, the year after), can I say the same?

This version of the modern classic plays just like the first game, only except that there are fruit crates rather than fruit doors. There are also a lot more switches to press.

There are 15 levels in this game. Since the levels in the console game are big and are in 3D, this game has all-new levels of the same names as the originals.

Pac-Man can Rev-Roll, which is basically a Pac-Man version of Sonic's Spin Dash, Butt Bounce, and flip kick in the air, a move he couldn't do in the first PMW game.

The music is amazingly the same as in the console versions, and in great quality, too. Although the Pac-Village music is missing (It got replaced by an underwater level's theme), The music still matches every level you play through.

The graphics are also very detailed. As the first game was ported on GBA, though, it had 3D-rendered graphics. The graphics here are all 2D to begin with, but that makes the game look cartoonish in a nice way.

One major flaw that I have with the game is the frustration that I have with the volcano levels and beyond those. In those levels, if you Rev Roll too low in some cases, chances are that you'd fall in the lava and lose a life. Even worse is when a fireball jumps up in the air unexpectedly! There are also ramps that dump you into deaths. You gotta know to Butt Bounce on the ramps to survive. These parts are just really annoying and frustrating.

At least there is a Password feature. Yeah, I know. In the first game on GBA, there are 3 save files, but here, it's downgraded to a Password feature....
Thankfully, you can skip those hard levels, I guess.

Overall, it's a good game, but be sure to expect a tough challenge later in the volcano+ stages.

This was a pretty good game for the money. My 6 yr old son likes the game, but it is not his favorite.

I used to play Pacman years and years ago, so I was delighted when my Grandson asked for it for his birthday. He loves it, and we've even played it together which he gets a kick out of -- and so do I. ('Course I would rather he'd be playing outside with other kids instead of having his nose pressed up to his Gameboy or the computer screen, but his parents do a good job of limiting his video play time.) Long live PacMan!
