About this game
Pac-Man sets out to recover the Golden Fruit stolen by the ghosts. You move through platforming stages using running, chomping and butt-bouncing, with the remake adding Super Butt Bounce to his actions. The journey also changes what you control: skate through Snowy Mountain, then take aim from the PAC-Marine in ocean stages. Time Trial mode gives stage completion a separate record-chasing objective through leaderboards. For local cooperative play, another player takes the Pac-Drone role, collecting items and attacking enemies to help Pac-Man through the adventure. Each player needs a controller. This rebuilt version of Pac-Man World 2 also includes main-character voice acting and adjustable difficulty.
Collected in series
Pac-Man turns eating dots and escaping ghosts into a game of routes, timing and sudden reversals. Its maze-chase roots have grown into inventive score challenges and platform adventures, giving the familiar yellow character different ways to explore and outwit enemies.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A good conceptual fit for players who enjoy platforming with changing stage activities and a helper partner.
Skating and submarine aiming could make the adventure appealing to players who like changes of activity within a platformer. Time trials offer a different goal for record seekers, while Pac-Drone cooperation favors helping one central adventurer rather than playing matching roles.
Strengths
- The switch between platforming, skating and submarine action could suit players who value variety in what they control.
- A partner's ability to collect items and attack could make cooperation useful without assigning both players the same task.
Weaknesses
- Players wanting equal platforming roles may find the Pac-Man and helper-drone arrangement less satisfying.
Who it is for: Players interested in a mascot platformer with varied stage actions, optional record chasing or local helper cooperation.
Play notes: Cooperative play is offline and needs a controller for each player; the second player controls Pac-Drone.
