The pirate world has cannons to dodge, the circus world has funky spinning platforms and creepy clowns, and the factory is pretty much made of lava. Nothing is more satisfying than wandering into an area full of ghosts and decimating them with your massive jaws.Įach of Pac-Man World’s six worlds is themed differently, and has its own set of entertaining hazards to avoid. Power pellets are the best though, as they transform our hero into a vast invincible monster. The small snack pellets can be collected to use as projectiles against enemies, whereas metal pellets make Pac-Man immune to damage and sink in water which helps find certain collectables. Pellets do play an important role in Pac-Man World Re-Pac too though. Long gone are the days of simply moving down corridors and eating. As well as being able to run and jump as you’d expect, Pac-Man can also do a butt bounce, hover a little in the air to cross longer gaps, and even do a chargeable dash like a certain blue hedgehog.

Pac-Man actually has quite a few tricks up his sleeve to navigate the island. Of course it’s not that easy to just waltz through ghost island and save your pals, with plenty of (you guessed it) ghosts and hazards you’ll need to use all your Pac-Abilities to survive. You’ll make your way through levels trying to collect the letters that spell Pac-Man and a variety of fruit. Pac-Man World Re-Pac is an incredibly traditional fixed camera 3d platformer. With the entire Pac-Fam (this is what Bandai Namco call them now) taken to Ghost Island and the party ruined, our circular hero rushes off on an adventure to save them. You’d think a gaming icon like Pac-Man would get to enjoy his birthday in peace, but I guess when you’ve spent your entire career gobbling ghosts they might decide to settle the score at an inopportune moment. Pac-Man World Re-Pac is bringing that original 1999 PS1 game to the modern era, with shiny graphics and all the power pellets you can eat. Way back in the day though, the lovable yellow puck featured in quite the number of platform games in the Pac-Man World series. Pac-Man Championship Edition was a highlight of the Xbox Live Arcade days, and Pac-Man 256 is the perfect mobile game for five minute bursts. I have to admit, once Pac-Man left the arcade I kinda stopped paying attention to the games he featured in.
