No download or registration needed. The graphic and sounds are very effective to hold us many times in this game. Iwatani named this famous game via a famous Japanese phrase known as "Paku-Paku Taberu". This odd sounding non English word is symbolic of the noise created when one opens and closes their mouth rapidly. After a short 18 months, the game was complete and launched as "Puck Man". Strangely enough, it was NOT a big success after launch. The original Japanese title of Puck Man was changed to Pac-Man for international releases as a preventative measure against defacement of the arcade machines by changing the P to an F.
The Pac-Man World 2 campaign consists of 20 levels, separated by climatic and geographic zones. You have to jump a lot, collect fruits and bonuses.
Metallic spacesuit available. You can use it to dive under water. You will have to fight with ordinary opponents - representatives of the local fauna, powerful ghosts and harsh bosses. Normal opponents are killed by jumping on their heads, and ghosts must first be made vulnerable, and then attacked. Boss battles take place in special arenas. You progress through all the typical areas: forests, frozen tundra, a volcano and underwater.
The level design is straightforward and challenging especially later stages but relatively low on surprises. The thing that makes PMW2 really different and fun is the way classic Pac-Man touches have been added. A maze here and there, Pac arcade games to unlock, fruits to collect, dots to gobble up, ghosts to chomp--the old elements are always there but never overpowering or too out of place.
The same can be said for the visuals. But fortunately, everything here hangs together reasonably well. Control is darn good, and that counts when you find yourself getting into a comfy laid-back platform-hop-ping daze--until the camera is knocked goofy by some background obstacle and you lose concentration.
Talk about a buzzkill. The levels themselves are fun if uninspired, although cheap deaths abound in later stages. Just accept the fact that the game likes to kill you out of the blue sometimes. Some mascots age more gracefully than others; on one hand you've got your Marios and Sonics, on the other you've got your 7-Up Cool Spots. Pac-Man still has a few lives left, despite a rocky year history, and PMW2 tastefully continues his trademark dotharvesting model in 3D.
It's obviously skewed toward a younger crowd, but cool gameplay ideas inspired by Klonoa 2 squelched my guilt for enjoying a "kid's" game so much. If only the camera didn't feel like a drunken film student's first project--it would rarely show me what I needed to see, and preferred to lock down rather than negotiate simple objects.
PMW2 is still worth a rental. The only noticeable difference between this and the PS2 version of PMW2 is that the load time has been reduced significantly.
