Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 is a straightforward 3D platformer based on the cartoon series. While it offers colorful visuals and simple, family-friendly gameplay, it lacks originality and feels like a rushed sequel. Fans of the show may enjoy the familiar characters and setting, but seasoned platformer players will likely find it repetitive and lacking in challenge.
The Pac is BAAAAAAAAACK. With a sleeper! HA! So lil young me had some weird phase where I really liked Pac-Man which led to me getting random games about him. The Pac-Man World games. Some Pac-Man kart racer which I should try out some time. Then this and the 1st game. Now I would limp through the first game as well, but the disc broke. I am not aboutta buy another copy of that for sure. But, have no fear! The sequel works just fine! Defintely has a better box art than the first game, have you SEEN how generic and odd that one looks?
So, this is a rather generic platformer that was clearly put out to coexist with the show like the first game. From what I remember the first was worse than this, but not by some long shot. This is one of those platformers, that's just... boring, and feels soulless. I can tell it's better than the first. Doesn't make it good though. I honestly don't even know what to say about the gameplay to be honest. It's barebones that's for sure. The power ups are less "power ups" and more so obligated gameplay switch ups. Nothing wrong with that, but it just starts to get so stale and boring eventually. It never really gets interesting. It feels decent to control too which makes it even weirder. Those shooting levels aren't much better though. VERY boring and slow. Way too easy as well. Also this game floods you in lives. You probably won't be seeing a game over screen any time soon.
The dialogue. Its cheesy and not in a good way. Weird thing is uh. I can't remember it. Wow the more I think about it, the more I start to realize this game has been phasing through my brain ever since I beat it. Sure was a funny time though. I don't even know what happened in the story and I doubt anyone really cares. Only thing I can even get out of it is the fact that this was one of Erica Mendez's first roles apparently which I find funny. Even funnier cause she did a good job voicing Pac-Man here. She probably doesn't like to think about this ever happening a lot though.
But yeah. That's Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 for ya. Honestly I should ACTUALLY watch the whole show sometime just to get an idea of it. For the meme of course.

O jogo não mudou tanto assim, é praticamente a mesma coisa, mas um pouco menos chato
more eugh. I genuinely cannot distinguish between this game and the first one in my memory, its literally just more of the same, so read what I had to say about that and it will still apply. Pac-man is voiced by the same voice actress that voices ryuuko in the english dub of kill la kill, so that's a funny fact. At least the box art is more interesting here?
Massive improvement on everything from the original game. Much better level design, overall gameplay flow, power-up balancing, and bosses. Still not worth playing though, I just wanted to have something funny in my list of Platinum Trophies.
THE PAC IS BACK AGAIN
After the show was cancelled, Kid me wanted this game to finally have them find Pac’s Parents, I wonder how he would have felt after playing this lol
It’s a decent enough improvement from the first game, level and world design is more inspired and fun, the graphics and music have a huge boost in quality, level structure is better, the removal of the camera whole to suit the 3ds and to combat the biggest complaint i’ve seen with the game was fine although a bit jarring plus the new playable characters add a decent enough shake-up to the gameplay.
But I feel it does too little to differentiate itself from the first game, only 2 new power-ups are added, there are not a lot of worlds here only 5 and 2 are already from the first game with not much different in terms of aesthetics, the story is so cookie-cutter and forgettable and the aforementioned problems of the cast being different and worse is still present. (I don't get why i’m being seriously critical of Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 lol)
But overall, this game is fun enough but is sorta of a lacklustre sequel all things considered.
