Customer Reviews
over all a pretty good game
I liked this game alot. it was the first game we got for our gamecube. It could be longer but even after you beat it it makes you want to play again.some of the water levels where you wear flippers are to easy.The graphics are pretty good but the camera can be hard to operate. definitely worth buying.
Good game, but nothing special
The Pac Man video games were some of the first to be truly successful in the video game industry, so it's not surprising that Namco has revived the character in recent years. Pac Man has starred in a number of different types of games over the years, and here he stars in a three-dimensional platformer! Read on for my review of Pac Man World 2.
PROS:
-The graphics for this game very good, in particular those of the cut scenes. The cut scenes really must be seen to be fully appreciated.
-The controls are, for the most part, pretty easy to learn. You should be able to pick them up pretty quickly.
-There are a number of things to hunt down in every level, which slightly boosts the replay value of the game.
CONS:
-The control scheme has a number of problems, which are particularly noticable when you're in the heat of battle, or trying to make a virtually impossible jump.
-Much like the recent Sonic games, the camera is pretty lame. It has a tendency to get stuck on pretty much anything and everything, which can really hurt your gaming experience.
-The swimming controls flat out suck, mostly due to continually-shifting camera angles underwater. You shouldn't include swimming stages in a video game unless you can get it right!
-In the end, this ends up being a pretty generic three-dimensional platformer. There are considerably better games of the same genre available. The game comes off seeming like something intended more for younger players.
OVERALL:
Overall this game is decent, but it doesn't really do anything special, nor is it bound to hold your attention for very long. My advice to potential players of this game is to rent it before you make the purchase. And if you MUST buy the game, buy the Gamecube Player's Choice version - it includes the ultra-fun Pac Man Vs. multiplayer game as a bonus.
A rock solid platformer and one of the best games of 2002.
Ive played this game lots of times and I still like it a lot.I think the thing I like about it most is that its challenging while still being fun.Its probably the challenge of it that makes it more fun too.The game is every bit as diverse as Super Mario Bros 3,Sonic Adventure DX and best of all Super Mario 64.I think that 2002 was a great year for video games on the Nintendo Game Cube.Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Pac Man World 2,Super Mario Sunshine,Star Fox Adventures,Resident Evil and my favorite of all Sonic Mega Collection all came out.Come to think of it it was the best year for Nintendo games I can remember.I dont remember a time when so many great games came out in a single year.This is a great game and the Game Cube is a great system.
It Made Our Holiday Fun
This Christmas we got a GameCube, and several games... Pac-Man World 2 was an impulse buy from the $20 rack at Wal-Mart. Boy, was I glad I picked it up! It almost instantly became our favorite of the 3-4 games we've started out with. We've had a great time playing, and although from time to time we will get stuck on a particular screen (I must have played the end of the ice skating screen... the part where you start by going into a cave mouth complete with fangs and finish with a long jump over a bottomless canyon... I must have played it 50 times before I made it over the canyon!) but I've never gotten fatigued trying to get past or through something. Maybe, as a few other reviewers have said, it IS a little on the easy side... I would definitely not say there's no challenge at all, but for people who aren't hard-core gamers it could be just what you're looking for. Fun stuff to do, nothing truly frustrating (some of the boss levels were tricky, but never seemed impossible), and the chance to play classic maze Pac-Man on your GameCube!
This is an excellent first GameCube game. Even my 3-year-old likes to go to the pond level and swim around, or go to the Pac-Village and jump on roofs for a while!
What's not to like?
Fan of pac Man or not-this game shall be worth your while!
I thought that this game was going to be cheezy, since it involved pacman and wondered how Namco could pull this off. I was wrong. This game kicked ass! The Graphics are not that bad, close to being the best. 3-D pacmam never looked good. The game gets addictive fast, but it isnt the graphics that get hardcore fans wild. Here is a game that is easy to beat(Too easy I should say) and you don't have to throw your controller across the room in frustration. This game is in fact easy enough that I think this game was made for children. But don't let that stop you from buying it. Also, the game was too short and the bossess were harder then the some three levels combined. Spooky, being the last boss, was pretty easy compared to the rest. Even if you beat the game, you will re-play. I guarrentee. Buy one now or rent one and see for yourself.
