Summary The Pac is Back

Pros: Gameplay: As I have not yet finished this game, I can only hope it keeps showing me the same ultra-high level of quality it has shown so far. The game keeps using the same set of mechanics in a amazingly crisp, refreshing, and exciting way. The bosses remind me of Zelda bosses, since each one has its own weakness. Boss fights are a little short of intense, but still challenging to their own right. A far greater challenge than any boss battle, is to clear the game with the utmost satisfactory "100%" statistic. If you have done this, you have trekked some serious land for a serious amount of trinkets, dots, fruits, and tokens. I can't imagine how long this would take, but kudos to those of you who have endured it. When you get bored of the main quest(as you would in any game if you played it for a while), you can retire to Pac-Village to play a few games. There are all-new mazes in 3D style graphics, which BTW cost nothing so you can enjoy these from the start, and the games many gamers grew up with... Yes. That's right. Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Attack, and Pac-Mania. Nothing has been held back for you, the customer. You can witness every game in its original form, no tampering needed. Sound: Every sound fits, there's even a small creaking sound for when Pac-Man creeps around on his tippy-toes. They've kept some of the sounds from the original Pac-Man(ex. the opening music) which are priceless in their own right. Graphics: Truly stunning. A thing I thought I'd never see in Pac-Man. Everything is so smooth. You could mistake the place for a painting for Pac's sake. The opening will leave you breatheless, or at least with a whole new respect for the Pac.
Cons: Unfortunately, you can tell exactly where the music stops and begins(something I've only heard in Frogger games) and the endless remixes make you wish you had a CD player to drown out the relentless waves of identical music.

Reviewer's Comments

We all get bored on cold days. My story was no different. I had come down with a great deal of boredom, and knew only one way to solve it- a game to sink my teeth into.
Viewtiful Joe? Nah, it's gotten tedious, I'll finish that later. Legend of Zelda? Negative. I've played that out for a while. Adventure of Link? I'll play something like that when I have nothing better to do. Side-scrolling Link just doesn't do Zelda justice.
Right then, something flashed through my mind. I had only $23.75 lying around and I had just about given up on finding the Weird Al CD I've had my eyes on for a week or two, so my mind, again, switched to games. I had seen only one game that was under $23.75 and looked worth my while. Or... to be exact, 2 games. As I left my local Wal*Mart, as that's all we have anymore, I gripped a blue sack that held my refuge from boredom. Pac-Man World 2/ Pac-Man vs.
