a very underwhelming platformer that got completely blown away by its sequel

A great 3D platformer that progressively teaches & tests the player with its stage gimmicks, movement, and reflexes, but the forced key collecting can be rather annoying & don’t bother playing the stages out of order.

GBA Version: An almost exact port of the PS1 version, pretty ambitious for a handheld game but means that it's just an inferior experience rather than a new adaption of the game.

The only Pac-Man game that I could really get into. Another game due a remake.

One of my favourite PS1 games, the score may be out of blind nostalgia but this game’s levels and OST always stand out in my memory compared to other forgettable games of the time that I had, I would definitely replay this now


I mostly remember this as a generic 3D platformer.

The first world is alright, the rest is bad

the opening cutscene to this game is legitimately unhinged and traumatizing

I find this game to be a pretty fun mascot platformer most of the time, but if it wasn't for the constant backtracking needed for mastery and some horribly designed levels and bosses (Anubis Rex, King Galaxian, Spin Dizzy), It ends up being pretty mid for me. Best I can describe this game is the "1999 Backtracking Simulator"
The remake fixes a lot of my problems.

I was an idiot with my old review the game is pretty damn fun


super mario 64 but it's a good IP.

1er vistazo #40
UUUFFF... este juego era lo que necesitaba luego de haber finalizado la trilogía de los DKC de SNES OwO.
Partiendo con una curiosa cinemática, todo termina por justificarse, hasta cierto punto, para llegar a un desenlace que no me "esperaba"... ya que rescatar a todos parecía algo más para el "true ending" xP.
Si bien los niveles no "parecen" tener algo que los haga destacar a simple vista, el uso de los interruptores permite utilizar los espacios recorridos para plantear un reto adicional, además de brindarle su encanto :3.
Sumándole el control de Pac-Man... UUUFFF x2... entre salir disparado en un carrera y el rebote luego de dar un salto, son varias las posibilidades presentadas dentro de "simples" escenarios B).
Debido al punto anterior, resulta ameno el coleccionar todas las frutas de los niveles, explorando los mismos en el proceso ya que, en ciertos casos, deberemos ir un poco más allá de los mismos :3.
Además de jugar con las perspectivas en ciertos puntos... da paso a buscar en lugares que uno consideraría inaccesibles, pero que, luego de un par de vueltas en el escenario, llega a toparse con la "solución" :D.
En ciertos escenarios, se hace un pequeño despliegue de pac-puntos, distribuidos de tal forma que recuerdan a fases de aquel clásico título de arcade... pero el juego no solo se queda con ello x.X...
Ahí termina por aparecer los laberintos, zonas especiales de regular tamaño que sí reflejan las fases antes mencionadas xP, solo que se le añaden alguna característica distintiva del mundo donde se presentan B).
Pasando a los jefes... UUUFFF x3... aunque, casi todos ellos, traen a la mesa una jugabilidad distinta que no fue introducida en los niveles "normales" ¬¬... tienen su respectivo lapso de tiempo para aprender las mecánicas.
Digo... de la nada te suben a una nave para empezar a dispararle a todo lo que se mueva... similar a Galaga... ya saben... fans de Galaga cuando... uhm... no sé... "nunca" lo jugué :v (aunque vi videos al respecto xP).
Y ya del jefe final no hablo porque escribiría tanto que mejor me pondría a elaborar un video opinión para poder apoyarme de imágenes que respalden mis puntos xD (quizá algún día... I guess).
Acabo de recordar el contenido extra que trae y... ASU... mejor dejarlo aquí por ahora. Si bien la duración del mismo no es tan extensa, dejan a uno con el deseo de jugar más niveles (y reclamar ese que se ocultó xD).

Very interesting game that could have used a bit more time ironing things out. The level design is fun, and the music is good, as are the graphics for the time. But the biggest issue is the game's physics. This game is super janky. It's definitely still playable, but it can be hard to control Pac-Man sometimes, especially when bouncing. Also some of the boss fights are really bad. Overall still a fun game though.
Also this game has a widescreen option. For a game released in 1999. That's insane.

Fun for sure, but very uneven difficulty across the adventure and very strange world designs.

this game scared me to death when i was kid

great platformer which serves as a nice tribute to Namco. There best PS1 game hands down

Pac Man saiu do mundo 2D e ganhou um platformer competente e divertido no PS1, todo em 3D, similar a Mario, Banjo & Kazooie, mas sem a mesma pegada de exploração, algo mais voltado para passagem de fases como Crash.

É um jogo bem divertido, inclusive de se jogar hoje em dia.

hey guys look its pac man

Aside anubis rex and some lack of polish, this is quite the good game and honestly the best in the Pac-Man World series imo. I don't get why people say this game is so unbelievably hard though (again, aside from anubis rex).

Rather fun 3D platformer, while not the best of its craft, it lays solid groundworks, has super unique level ideas, really good music, and is all around a fun time.

I wish the 100% aspect of the game was significantly less tedious, though. I ended up not going through with collecting everything because of how obnoxious the process got, which definitely hampered my enjoyment of the game.

The first game I remember playing. For that reason it has a very special place in my heart.

This game is fucking awesome, really good 3D platformer but its hard as shit at the end for no reason. Physics in this are trash but in a kinda good way, if you wiggle your stick at all times during movement you go faster and its sus as fuck. Level design is nice and simplistic but can also be a fair challenge for all ages. 7/10

Overall an excellent and creative 3D platformer, and a genius way of putting Pac-Man in this genre. Although Anubis Rex's final phase is still a pain, and sometimes the camera angles aren't the best.

You don't know primal fear until seeing Toc-Man celebrating on the game over screen after not seeing him because you skipped the cutscenes.


Really stupid save points and it was full of bugs, this game was broken

YEAHHHH GO PAC MAN GO PAC MAN GO PAC MAN GO GO GO

Very neat game. Good level design (except for the mazes and some levels and bosses), amazing music, SUPER CHARMING...
It's just a neat platformer. Super easy and short, too, even if there are some difficulty spikes that get kinda annoying because it's on pretty difficult bosses or the physics of the game get weird.
Nonetheless, a very good and fun game!
