"An excellent platformer"

Pac Man world 2 is one of the best platformers I've played in a long time. Easy to use controlls, nice looking graphics, good level design, and the main point of any platformer: its fun to play. Not to mention tons of mini games.

Controlls: 9/10
Just about perfect.The controlls are easy to use. Simple button layout means that It is easy to move around in the game world. You should have no problems of a level being too hard because of the controlls. That just won't happen. These are the controlls I would want to see on any platformer.

Graphics: 10/10
Excellent graphics. One of the things that make a platformer good is really nice looking worlds. From the tree tops to the snow top mountains, to the bottom of the sea, each game world looks superb. This is what Pac man should look like. Even the 1980's versions of Pac-Man that come with the game, look great.

Replay: Like most platformers the main game doesn't seem all that fun once you've beaten it. The thought of doing impossible jumps 3 or 4 times inorder to get a world you already know, isn't that great. So you'll probably never play the main game that often; but in the game is also Several versions of Pac Man which has the same replay value those games did when you were a kid sitting infront of the atari or in the arcade after school. Plus several pac man games like the classics only in 3d.

Story: 8/10
Nothing special. C'mon its a Pac Man game, I don't think anyone who buys this game is looking for story, but its not a bad one. Mainly the Golden fruit are used to seal in a demon, and these ghosts stole the fruit releasing the Demon. Your job is to travel through each world, until you reach the boss, and by defeating him, you get one of the Golden fruit.

Overall: 10/10
Pac Man in 3d. Every body's dream who played the original. Very fun worlds, very good controlls, and very good graphics. You'll have a blast travelling through each world. Bosses are fun to fight, and its fun trying ot beat your score for each level. When your done with that, you can replay the classic games in the arcade located in your village, and play new 3d versions of the classics. Each game is unlocked by collection special coins in every level, when a certain amount have been selected a new game is unlocked. Bottom line, if you like pac man, and platformers, buy this game now.
