I haven't put a ton of time into this game, but I did beat the main story mode. My advice for anyone wanting to play this game from nostalgia: play the original. For anyone that wants to play Pac-Man World 2 for the first time: play the original. If there is one word I could use to describe this remake, it would be: annoying. The graphics are a nice upgrade, the new models look nice, although the changes in the …

As a life-long Pac-Man fan, THIS is exactly what I want from Namco. Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is a fantastic "addition" to the franchise and gives Pac-Man the love, care, and attention he deserves as one of gaming's most iconic mascots. I say "addition" because Re-Pac is certainly different than the original Pac-Man World 2. While the first Re-Pac was an almost 1-to-1 faithful remake of the original Pac-Man World, …

This is the kind of remake I want to see more often. While most platformer remakes try to be one-to-one as possible, often ending up feeling like its just another, or in some cases lesser, version of the original game, this takes the loose outline of the original to create a new experience out of it. Just about every level has been altered in significant ways, with some essentially being brand-new, and new moves and …

This remake is a mixed bag. I would and wouldn't recommend playing this over the original Pac-Man World 2, depending on what kind of person you are. Also keep in mind, this is coming from someone who only played the very first release of PMW2 (aka. revision 0, which was noticeably harder than subsequent releases) and 100%'d that game. First of all, like I mentioned earlier, this game is a remake. As such, in …

$30 for one of the best 3D platformers getting a glow up, fun from beginning to end and challenging for anyone seeking 100% completion. To touch on the "Re-PAC" side, a cool change from the original was every subsequent boss after Clyde's Frog got reworked with an animal/creature theme with new attacks and phases, some of the more egregiously long levels were toned down for the better, while still retaining the …

85% of the 211 Steam reviewers we collected recommend PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC. The complaint that keeps coming up: pac-Man's voice is annoying and cannot be turned down. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

I remember trying to collect tokens so I could unlock more arcade games. I remember the sense of mystery and not knowing how to reach certain items. I remember very iconic sound effects and very iconic worlds. I look back on this game fondly. So when I heard they were remaking it, my interest piqued. I preordered the game, waited for weeks and weeks to finally…
