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***

PacMan World 2

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.

over all a pretty good game

I liked this game alot. it was the first game we got for our gamecube. It could be longer but even after you beat it it makes you want to play again.some of the water levels where you wear flippers are to easy.The graphics are pretty good but the camera can be hard to operate. definitely worth buying.

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.

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!

What's not to like?

Fan of pac Man or not-this game shall be worth your while!
I thought that this game was going to be cheezy, since it involved pacman and wondered how Namco could pull this off. I was wrong. This game kicked ass! The Graphics are not that bad, close to being the best. 3-D pacmam never looked good. The game gets addictive fast, but it isnt the graphics that get hardcore fans wild. Here is a game that is easy to beat(Too easy I should say) and you don't have to throw your controller across the room in frustration. This game is in fact easy enough that I think this game was made for children. But don't let that stop you from buying it. Also, the game was too short and the bossess were harder then the some three levels combined. Spooky, being the last boss, was pretty easy compared to the rest. Even if you beat the game, you will re-play. I guarrentee. Buy one now or rent one and see for yourself.

Pacman Youre The Man!

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.

A really fun adventure game. A great buy.

You've likely played Pac-Man in the arcade, or at least have seen Pac-Man do his stuff in the arcade. Well...this is not the same game as what you've played in the arcade. This is a Mario style adventure game that is a little on the easy side, but really fun.

There are many levels spanning the whole of Pac-Land. This includes levels in forests, glaciers, and underwater. There are lots of fruits and dots to collect, and also tokens, which can be used to unlock classic Pac-Man games, like Ms. Pac-Man. You can also play original Pac-Man like mazes within the levels, which can then be played at any time.

The graphics are quite good (at least on the Gamecube version, which is the only one, I have played). The music for most of the levels seem to be based on a single tune, but they change it around enough so it almost sounds like a whole different tune. The quality of both graphics and sound is very good.

The levels have the basic adventure game things like simple puzzle solving, jumping to platforms, and bouncing off enemies, but the levels are all different enough so as they aren't boring or repetitive.

Although I said at the outset that it is a little on the easy side, it is by no means simple to the point of not being challenging. There are plenty of places that will test your abilities.

Overall, this is a first class adventure game that you would do well to add to your Gamecube collection.

yaa! woo! woo! woo! woo!
