Pac-Man World 2 (Nintendo GameCube, 2002)

I'm not kidding. This probably is one of the greatest games ever made in the history of video games. There aren't many that are better. Pac-Man World 2 is a fun, one-player game that everyone can enjoy, no matter age, no matter how experienced.

Although it seems that not too many people like this Namco game, I don't see why. Pac-Man World 2 is a really fun game with tons of levels and tons of things to collect. By collecting game tokens in the levels, you can unlock other games in the arcade. That's right! In the Pac-Village there is an arcade where you can play all kinds of Pac-Man classics from the original Pac-Man to Pac-Mania to Ms. Pac-Man to Pac-Attack and to more!

Now then, on to the story line. At the begining of the game you will see a show type thing that will explain the story line to you. The story line goes something like this: The ghosts are up to no good again as they roam around the Pac-Village. Although they do make enough noise to bring down the Sears Tower, no one notices them except the dog at some point. Anyway, the ghosts make their way over to the tree in the center of the Pac-Village and start taking the Golden Fruit from it. Suddenly, everything begins to shake and the tree begins to rise. (PLEASE PUT IN YOUR EVIL BAD GUY MUSIC NOW. THANK YOU AND REMEMBER THERE IS NO SMOKING WHILE READING THIS REVIEW. HAVE A NICE DAY!) And of coarse the bad guy shows up. He's this creepy black ghost type bad dude named Spooky who had came out from under the tree who was imprisoned there long ago by an ancient Pac Warrior. Now then, Spooky tells the collored ghosts to take the Golden Fruit which held him under the tree and hide them so that no one retrieves them. And so of coarse Pac-Man wakes up the next day to be told that he must save Pac-Land from Spooky and so on and so forth. Now pac-Man sets out to find Spooky and retrieve the Golden Fruit.

Now that you know how the game works I can give you some more highlights of the game. Pac-Man can pull off many moves, some not being in the original Pac-Man World. In Pac-Man World 2 our hero can butt-bounce, rev-roll, jump, jump kick, swim, and eat things with the help of the power pellet. Ahhhh, that sweet power pellet. There are many ghosts in the levels of the game who will not be destroyed unless you get a power pellet. Grab one to glow and eat! There's also another pellet you can get: a metal pellet, as I call it. With this special ball of steel, you can, for a limited time, not get hurt by gas, not get hurt by lava, walk under water, and be invincible to enemies. This special item can really come in handy during the game!

In this game there are also some great levels with amazing twists. In some levels you can roller skate, ice scate, swim with flippers, and drive a fully armed submarine! One last thing I'd like to point out about Pac-Man World 2 is the 3D Mazes. Yep, during the game you can find special galaxians that you can collect which will allow you to enter a 3D maze where you can get extra points. These mazes are just like the original Pac-Man games where you get chased by and eat ghosts. Once you've beaten a maze you can play it again in the arcade!

Pac-Man World 2 is a great game that I play non-stop. It's loads of fun and I hope that you agree with me. Don't go on without this game. It's easy to get cheap. Buy it! You won't regret it. I sure didn't. Have Fun in Pac-Land!

I like the thought that this product was available. I don't love it. I don't dislike it . I decided to buy it for my grandchildren .

Challenging video game with great animation and graphics. Easy enough for a seven year old, but challenging enough for an adult. Fun game, no violence just beating your component in order to pass to the next adventurous level!

We had this game for our Xbox, but since we got rid of the Xbox and got a Wii I wanted to find this for it. We love this game. It's not graphically amazing, but it is fun. My kids love it and we'll get lots of use out of it. It has a lot of play as there are several levels.

I bought this game for my 10 year old son to play on his Gamecube. It has turned out to be fun for the whole family. Please note that the game is a 1 player game so we have to take turns. There are many interesting levels which bring back the original fun of Pac Man. It was easy to figure out without reading the directions but, challenging enough to maintain interest.
