Let's get this out of the way first: Pac-Man 2 is one of the weirdest games in the Pac-Man franchise. This was an absurdly weird direction to take this property. The game is unconventional to the series, and in isolation, in so many ways. The way you move Pac-Man, pointing him in whichever direction you want him to go and interacting with the world to affect how he behaves, is both really unique and stupid slow and clunky. The decision to also not mention the Look feature in the tutorial or anywhere at all as far as I'm aware, was certainly a choice. The game's story and setting is also bizarre and unorthodox, just trying to act like Pac-Man having a family is a normal thing we can just accept.

All this aside, I fucking ADORE this game. Literally the only thing holding it back for me is the fact that the game is in fact pretty slow and bullshit confusing at times. But man, the entire vibe is just so silly and goofy and charming that its difficult to say i even think its a bad game. It's not very good, but please play it.
