One of the most disappointing sequels I've ever played. While Pac-Man World 2 may have its hiccups and bizarre difficulty spikes, World 3 is a monument to emptiness. Mildly amusing dialogue aside there's almost nothing to this game. Go from empty area to empty area engaging in boring overlong combat hoping something happens. It's more functional and feature interesting than a DMC2 but no less deflating and uneventful
Pros
+ Absolutely amazing atmosphere
+ Every backdrop/background is eye candy
+ Level design is really good
+ Pac-Man controls nicely (the beat-em-up sections are good I swear)
+ Unique concept
+ Really fun dialogue
Cons
- Changed things from Pac-Man World 2 that didn't need to be changed
- Pretty glitchy at times
- The DS version
I always thought this game has so much going for it. It has a great story, great atmosphere, great music, and amazing dialogue. This is such an underrated game.
Just don’t play the DS version. Don’t.

It isn't that bad, i mean, it has some pretty disappointing stuff such as the boss fights and some of the controls, combat is fair enough, i know that voice acting can be a little cursed but damn the dialogue in this game is awesome, like whatever if pacman has a weird ass voice, his lines are great!!!
+ Pac Man is Nathan Drake
+ Soundtrack is lax and calming
+ Platforming and puzzles are solid
~ Game ends up being 2 parts boring, 1 Part good
~ You can play as the ghosts but it's never utilized to a good extent
- levels are too long
- only two bosses
- Games plot is nonsensical
- Game focuses too heavily on combat
- Game has notable audio issues
- Robot level teased in beginning and only one level 3/4ths the way through
- I literally forgot a character existed within one day of playing the game

Yuck! To be fair I played the DS version so maybe this isn't the same, but I've heard it's close enough. BORING samey level themes, weird ass villain, and again, BORING AND BLAND GAMEPLAY. Certain sections made me wanna snap my DS and when they didn't I was on auto pilot. Being able to only hold 3 lives was fucking dumb, though I like that falls only take 1 chunk away not a whole life. This game's just on the lower side of mediocre but it's so boring I feel it's bad.
This game is.....weird?
This one randomly turned into a platformer with tons of beat em' up parts and has a weird subliminal atmosphere in the game's theme. The platforming bits were actually pretty good but I was moreso really annoyed by the repetitive combat and beat em' up areas of the game because it showed up wayyyyy too much than I expected. The music feeling empty, subliminal and different from the usual Pac-Man fare felt weird, but enjoyable personally? That also went to the visuals, that felt like it came from a completely different game. The writing and dialouge however, that takes the gold in this thing! The jokes and potrayal of Pac-Man and the Ghosts got me laughing a few times, alongside their voices being good! Though overall, a mediocre-ish experience personally. Hard to recommend unless you're a real Pac-Maniac sucker or you wanna enjoy the visuals and dialouge.
Finished the main game without collecting all character cards and fruit.
