Pac-Man World 2

Ghosts beware! The golden, globular, dot-eating hero is back in action in Pac-Man World 2.

Pac-Man World 2 takes dot eating to a whole new level, making this 3D version of an arcade classic a nostalgia trip worth taking. Namco?s portly Pac-Man travels through six vibrant worlds and uses ice skates, turbo rolls, butt bounces, and more in his quest to retrieve golden fruit stolen by Spooky, a ghost of monstrous proportions. Maneuvering Pac-Man can be difficult at times since the controls are ?ber sensitive?a bit too much pressure on the analog stick can easily send Pac-Man careening over an icy cliff.

The graphics are a bit squarish at times, but they have a cartoony-yet-realistic feel as demonstrated by the slowly moving fog that drifts naturally between towering trees and the swiftly running rivers that flow underneath icy terrain. The scenery is complemented by cheery beats and melodic tunes, which enhance the gameplay. And those craving the ?OG? Pac-Man, have no fear: An arcade feature in the game enables you to play the original 1980 version and other favorites, like Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Attack. This feature makes Pac-Man World 2 worth buying for hardcore Pac fans and a definite rental for those wanting to butt-bounce down memory lane.
