Good game, but nothing special

The Pac Man video games were some of the first to be truly successful in the video game industry, so it's not surprising that Namco has revived the character in recent years. Pac Man has starred in a number of different types of games over the years, and here he stars in a three-dimensional platformer! Read on for my review of Pac Man World 2.

PROS:
-The graphics for this game very good, in particular those of the cut scenes. The cut scenes really must be seen to be fully appreciated.
-The controls are, for the most part, pretty easy to learn. You should be able to pick them up pretty quickly.
-There are a number of things to hunt down in every level, which slightly boosts the replay value of the game.

CONS:
-The control scheme has a number of problems, which are particularly noticable when you're in the heat of battle, or trying to make a virtually impossible jump.
-Much like the recent Sonic games, the camera is pretty lame. It has a tendency to get stuck on pretty much anything and everything, which can really hurt your gaming experience.
-The swimming controls flat out suck, mostly due to continually-shifting camera angles underwater. You shouldn't include swimming stages in a video game unless you can get it right!
-In the end, this ends up being a pretty generic three-dimensional platformer. There are considerably better games of the same genre available. The game comes off seeming like something intended more for younger players.

OVERALL:
Overall this game is decent, but it doesn't really do anything special, nor is it bound to hold your attention for very long. My advice to potential players of this game is to rent it before you make the purchase. And if you MUST buy the game, buy the Gamecube Player's Choice version - it includes the ultra-fun Pac Man Vs. multiplayer game as a bonus.

I Love Pac Man!

Pac Man World 2 is the sequel to Pac Man World on the Playstation system. It is an old school Capcom character with a completely new appeal. The best thing about this game is that (with tokens) you can play the original Pac Man games such as Ms. Pac Man and Pac Mania. The levels/worlds are realistic and colorful, and it's a ton of fun watching Pac Man eat his way through the clouds when he lands on a red power ball. The major downside is that some levels are incredibly difficult to get through and the controls are very sensitive. With practice you can get a grip on the controls and enjoy a fun but quite challenging game.

One of the funnest game in the universe!

Pac-Man World 2 is a excellent family game. It is suitable for EVERYONE, even adults. I am 11, and I enjoyed it alot, because of the cool stuff you can use, such as Ice Skates, Rollerblase, an underwater marine, and it is a MUST BUY, because it is a 5-in-one. Yup! Yup! I soke of the oldie-classics, like Pac-Man, Ms.Pac-Man, Pac-Attack, and more! I encourage you to buy it, no need for renting. NOTHING IN HERE PARENTS WOULD'NT LIKE!Mature gamers will pass, unless you are an all-gamer. It is absolutely fun, and it makes a great gift. Buy iut for someone for christmas or birthdays! It is CRAMED with fun, JAM-PACKED with adventure, and DAZZLIGN storyline, not to mention the EYE-POP-OUT graphics for this. MAN, OH MAN, the beginning's graphics are UNBELIEVABLE, so check to see if you are on Fox Saturday Morning cartoon channel or your Gamecube! Tthe lil' yellow munchster returns in an epic to be discovered!

P.S. I won it in...12 hours!!! Boo-baaah-haaaaa!!!

Its too pleasant thats why I gave it 4 stars instead of 3

Buy this game if you like short single player games,colorful graphics,snappy music,easy gameplay, clever mazes and old arcade games. There are a few major flaws such as its too short,its not very original,and a few levels are bland but its too pleasant to give it anything under 4 stars. Pac Mania is addictive as is Pac Attack and Pac Man as well as the unlockable mazes.Plus the game itse;f is still fun no matter how many times you play it.So in conclusion this a pleasant game and hopefully there will be a Pac Man World 3.

It Made Our Holiday Fun

This Christmas we got a GameCube, and several games... Pac-Man World 2 was an impulse buy from the $20 rack at Wal-Mart. Boy, was I glad I picked it up! It almost instantly became our favorite of the 3-4 games we've started out with. We've had a great time playing, and although from time to time we will get stuck on a particular screen (I must have played the end of the ice skating screen... the part where you start by going into a cave mouth complete with fangs and finish with a long jump over a bottomless canyon... I must have played it 50 times before I made it over the canyon!) but I've never gotten fatigued trying to get past or through something. Maybe, as a few other reviewers have said, it IS a little on the easy side... I would definitely not say there's no challenge at all, but for people who aren't hard-core gamers it could be just what you're looking for. Fun stuff to do, nothing truly frustrating (some of the boss levels were tricky, but never seemed impossible), and the chance to play classic maze Pac-Man on your GameCube!

This is an excellent first GameCube game. Even my 3-year-old likes to go to the pond level and swim around, or go to the Pac-Village and jump on roofs for a while!

PacMan is back, and better than ever! In World 2 you start at the Pacvillage, and then battle our way through six different worlds, each having a few different levels, with a boss (one of the ghosts) at the end. After defeating each boss you get a golden fruit. You must collect all the golden fruits to win. In the levels you break crates, go under water, and jump ditches, all the while collecting health wedges, lives, coins (which unlock games in the arcade) and regular fruits. It is very entertaining and fun for all ages. Also, back at the Pacvillage there is an arcade which you can go back to anytime you want and play classic games like the original PacMan, Mrs. PacMan, PacAttack, etc. Overall very fun. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Interesting Decision

This games extreme 3-D graphics, non-annoying music, easy control, and all out coolness brings up this score dramaticaly. The big meltdown of the 5th star was the horrible auto camera angles. You have no control and sometimes it looks behind you, therefore you have a pretty good chance of bringing pac-man's doom if you move forward. You then must start the whole dang level over. That is very annoying and slows your progress down.
The gameplay is easy. Some levels regretably are almost unbeatable, but hey, what's a game without some challange? You'll love rolling pac-man around trying to beat a level or acting stupidly. This section I have no complaints.
The graphics are amazing. I have never experienced a choppy place in the game and I never hope to. Don't worry, it IS a 3-D game. You'll never have to think twice about this aspect of the game.
Sound is pointless to explain. Who cares? If you don't like music, turn the sound off!
Here's my overview:

Graphics:10/10
Nothing is wrong!

Camera: 0/10
I despite the camera

Gameplay: 8/10
???

Overall: 8/10

***BUY THIS GAME***

Fun, But the Bosses are Too Hard

Parts of this game just seemed impossible. I don't think I would have finished without purchasing an Action Replay disc so I could get infinite lives, but I really needed infinite health and the cheat codes don't provide that. I never could beat the last boss level, but since I got to see all the "worlds," I was satisfied. Strangely enough, I suffered from motion sickness during the first two levels, the flat Pac Village and the benigh Forest, but after that, I was fine. Maybe it's less dizzying when the colors get more intense and dark in caves and ghost worlds. So if you get sick, just stop, throw up, rest, and continue. By the third world it'll be over. I really needed the infinite lives to get through the Volcano level.

Best game I've ever played
