Editing now that I'm all the way through the main game and most of the way through the extra stuff, THE GOOD: - The controls feel really smooth for the most part. That was one of the better parts of Re Pac 1 IMO and the fact we get to have that in a game that can make the most of it is really cool. - 100%ing each level is way less stressful (time trials not-withstanding) since Pac Dots are back to being for Score and ammo as opposed to being for EVERYTHING. Blade Mountain went from being one of my least favorite levels to 100% due to how easy it was to miss the Pellets to suddenly being legit one of the most fun experiences I've had in a platformer. - Fruit counts are readily shown at all times unlike the original - New bosses. At first I was mixed on them, but on repeat fights I found them to be way more interesting. On top of finally making the bosses feel unique, they also do a much better job of having you use your entire repertoire and testing the skills you learn in each level instead of just The Same Boss Over And Over Again. - The levels themselves have been really creatively restructured. Most of the same structure is here but most levels got the Sonic Generations treatment to make them feel fresh yet recognizable. Magma Opus is an entirely new level, pretty much. - A lot of one-off mechanics from the original like the Shrink Pellet and Rev Platforms got reworked to appear in more levels, which is really cool. - Same with enemies. Remember the weird plant guy in Into The Volcano? There's a lot more of him, even if he's just in one stage. - Pac Man's dog is back to looking like an actual dog instead of a Quadrupedal Pac Man like in the original thank jesus - Maze levels feel way better than in RePac 1, and they also bring back the stage hazards from World 1 (albeit kinda limited). - There's a surprisingly extensive postgame that reminds me a lot of Kirby & The Forgotten Land's postgame (pre Switch 2). I won't spoil much but be prepared for a challenge. THE BAD - Some music tracks took a hit in quality. Nowhere near as bad as half the OST from RePac 1's launch, but the Ice levels in particular sound really cheap for no reason. Really wish there was a toggle to bring back David Logan's original mixes in some capacity. Not ALL tracks, and the quality drop isn't that bad, but it's noticeable. - On the note of music, instead of making the tracks loop like you'd THINK they would, they decided to keep the awkward jump cuts from the OG release. This results in jarring moments of silence in most levels, including bosses... why? - Some missions are weirdly misleading or broken. The 'break bear traps' one in Canyon Chaos seems bugged to not count methods of breaking them that aren't flip kicks, Magma Opus's 2nd mission is worded like you need to avoid the slide entirely when you just need to not fall off, Into The Volcano's 2nd mission implies you can't use the wall ledges despite them not counting to it (and being MANDATORY to progress), etc. This could be fixed in a patch but it's annoying to see nonetheless. - The animation quality is very sauceless compared to the original. - No 4th Arcade game. I get that Ms Pac Man is in legal limbo and they couldn't use that, but... couldn't you have brought in something like Pac Man Arrangement 96? - The BDoing Woods Melon will live in infamy. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY - Kickflip got reworked into an attack for both grounded and aerial purposes. This makes it really broken in the early game all the way up until the volcano levels bring in stuff requiring dots. - They made the first half of the game notably easier, but it ramps up really fast during the volcano and ESPECIALLY Ghost Island levels. The postgame is outright Rage-inducing at times. - Galaxians now unlock mazes in the Arcade instead of having you do the maze mid-level like in the OG or RePac 1. Which is weird. Welcome to an extent, but weird. - You can now Rev Roll in Mazes. I have no strong feelings of this. - Having Martin back as Pac is cool. Unfortunately he has a lot of mid-gameplay voice lines, which is rather jarring. If I hear this yellow ball say Yummy again I'm gonna lose it. - Bear Basics and Clyde's Frog are the only two stages where you can get the Mission reward on a first run. Everything else typically requires a Time Attack run to get. Including Pac Mania and Pac Attack. Some, like Into The Volcano, require a minimum of 3 runs due to where some items are placed. - Mega Pac Mode is back, and while it thankfully doesn't auto-spawn the easy mode platforms like in World 1 Repac, it's still a pace breaker since it blocks off most of your moveset until it wears off. - Graphics depending on the world are hit or miss. Most of the time it's great, and I'll be the first to admit I fw the new Treetops WAY more than the original, but stuff like the more stark-white ice levels and the... PURPLE swamp instead of dreary browns just doesn't mesh well. - Speaking of, Ghost Bayou has been reworked from a sprawling and confusing maze level to a relatively linear level with like 40 hazards on screen at once. It is simultaneously way easier and way harder at the same time as a consequence. - Fall Damage is gone. ZestyJesus is probably very pleased with this, but I find it makes the treetops levels a tad too easy. Idk. - In the same vein they made the fall speed of butt bounces static instead of rapidly accelerating. Eh. NOT A GAMECHANGER BUT KINDA COOL I GUESS - The RGB enemy now appears in multiple worlds. Further, the exact color the RGB uses in any level depends on the world, so it's green in the grasslands but Blue in the mountains. Very pointless but still cool. - Pac Dot throwing is back. And unlike in Re-Pac 1 there are enemies designed around it so you can't just kickflip and bounce everything anymore. - Sue was renamed to Clie and they revealed that her ice cream 'hat' was hair the entire time my life is a lie. On the whole PMW2 Re Pac is a very fun little remake, it takes a lot of the problems the original game had and did a lot of work to make it more fun overall. It takes a LOT of risks, but for as different as it is from the original it doesn't feel like any of that HURTS the experience at all. It genuinely feels like a more fully realized PMW2 in a lot of ways, still rough around the edges (likely due to short development and being hampered by Switch 1 tech) but very well made regardless. If you were expecting a 1-to-1 recreation, though, this version may leave a lot to be desired as they took an almost alarming amount of creative liberty that, if you were very nostalgic of the original, may hamper your experience. Nonetheless, I can't wait to see if we get a World 3 RePac as well.

As a life-long Pac-Man fan, THIS is exactly what I want from Namco. Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is a fantastic "addition" to the franchise and gives Pac-Man the love, care, and attention he deserves as one of gaming's most iconic mascots. I say "addition" because Re-Pac is certainly different than the original Pac-Man World 2. While the first Re-Pac was an almost 1-to-1 faithful remake of the original Pac-Man World, World 2 Re-Pac uses the original game as a base to build and improve upon instead of sticking to the exact blueprint, and I am 100% here for it. There's so much different here that it genuinely feels like a new game, but enough that's familiar that you feel like you're seeing an old friend again after a long time. To quickly go over what I love so much about this game: - Beautifully redone visuals. Every area feels bright, vibrant, and crafted. Feels like it's straight out of a cartoon. - Expanded upon cutscenes with full voice acting. I was unsure about this at first, but was completely blown away by how amazing every single character sounds. The voices are all fitting, well acted, and feel natural to the Pac-Man world. I was honestly so impressed by it that it makes me want a TV show/cartoon done in this exact fashion. It feels like seeing what I've always imagined in my head as Pac-Man's world and character antics actually being brought to fruition, and every cutscene put a huge smile on my face. The characters are full of charm. I can't even just pick one or two that I like, they're all done so amazingly well. - Remixed levels and mechanics keep things feeling familiar but fresh. If you've played the original Pac-Man World, you'll see all the areas you remember, but they've been redesigned to flow better and/or play better. - The music has been remastered and expanded upon. The tracks have never sounded better, and when you hit the post-game content, where they created new music for, it gets even better. - Pac Village actually feels like a hub world and feels alive. In the original game, you really only came back to Pac Village when you wanted to play the old arcade games, but in Re-Pac you can change your costume here, talk to a bunch of villagers walking around, decorate the area with figures, play games, and collect gashapon capsules. It feels like a place that's actually a bustling little village rather than an empty hub area like the original game, and I love it. - The difficulty curve is incredibly well done. The game starts out easy and feels very familiar to the original Pac-Man World 2, but the difficulty starts to ramp up throughout the adventure. The bosses are much more challenging than the original game, and once you beat the game, there is a whole post-game adventure that really turns the difficulty up to 11. This is how it should be done, in my opinion. Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac's difficulty feels finely tuned similar to a Mario game. Easy for anyone to access and complete the main adventure, but will challenge even hardcore gamers to fully 100% complete. It's a game that has a challenge for people of all skill levels, and even though I yelled in frustration at some of the game's hardest parts, I still loved how much they challenged me. As much as I love the game though, it does have its flaws. It's not perfect, but the good far outweighs the bad to me. Stilll, I do want to list the things that didn't land as well for me here: - Some of the missions are unclear or obnoxious. One mission states to "never hang on a ledge" in a level where you have to hang on a ledge to complete it, and doing so will still complete the mission. It's... weird, but at least I still finished the mission. Also, my biggest mission gripe is the mission for bosses which states "beat the boss without dying". I like the challenge of this mission, but bosses in this game do not have checkpoints, so if you die you go back to the beginning of the boss fight anyway. But if you die and it puts you back at the beginning of the boss fight, but you don't pause the game and select "restart level", you won't complete the mission. It's asinine to punish people for not taking the extra effort to restart the level when they die when they have to do the whole fight over again anyway. If the bosses had checkpoints between phases, then this mission would be much more understandable, but as it stands right now it's just.... obnoxious. - The underwater camera is bad. In the original Pac-Man World 2, the underwater sections were on rails with Pac-Man constantly moving forward, but in Re-Pac they're fully explorable environments. This is a great change, but for some reason the camera really gets caught up on walls and the water's surface. Throughout the rest of the game, the camera feels natural and passes through environmental structures to always try and give you a clear view of what's going on, but for some reason in the underwater sections it was constantly stuck or so close to Pac-Man that he wouldn't even be visible. It made navigation a chore, which sucked when there were big sharks you had to keep an eye on to avoid. - The movement is different. This isn't a big deal to me personally, but I know a lot of people are so familiar with the original Pac-Man World 2 that they're going to be thrown off by the movement in Re-Pac. Just like in PMW1 Re-Pac, Pac-Man has a slight pause in mid air when using the butt bounce before he falls toward the ground. Some of Pac-Man's other movement does feel slightly slower than the original game too, which again doesn't bother me. It feels very fluid and consistent with how he moved in Pac-Man World Re-Pac. The levels of World 2 Re-Pac have been reworked to fit Pac-Man's new movement, so it all flows very well, but I have heard people say they liked the flow and speed of the original better. Again, a preference more than anything, but just figured I'd point it out. I could ramble on about everything I love about this game for a long while, but I'll leave it at that. What I do want to add is an immense amount of praise to Namco for this wonderful reimagining of Pac-Man World 2. As Namco's flagship character, and one of the most popular and iconic characters of all time, Pac-Man has, in recent years, felt like little more than a merchandise cash cow at times. Even the original Pac-Man World 2 had a bouts of awkwardness, jank, and weird stuff that, at times, made it feel like a lower-budget knock off title instead of a AAA game with tons of polish. Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac remedies this by being one of the most polished entries in the entire Pac-Man franchise. It feels like Namco really put in a ton of care, love, and effort to make sure their yellow hero had the best game they could possibly create, and it makes me so happy to see Pac-Man getting the type of game he truly deserves as one of video game's greatest. This is the type of game that makes me excited for the future of Pac-Man.

Don't be fooled by how it looks, this game is NOT for children. It gets INSANELY difficult in the later half. Even more difficult than the original game. But in an organic way, not in a cheap bs way (most of the time). In fact, the entire game in general is a different experience compared to the original. It's worth buying if you want a fresh take on a classic. There's even new story elements, and a whole postgame adventure.

A remaster of the original Pac-Man World 2 for the PS2 in 2002. Some levels have been redesigned, movement is slightly stiffer but more crisp, and there's now a green circle that denotes your position while in the air. While it is fairly obvious that this remake has been inspired by modern day platformers and remakes of other franchises, it still pays homage to its predecessor while also spicing things up to provide a moderate challenge. Old fans will be crying tears of nostalgia while new players will be in for a treat. Definitely worth to give a shot if you're a fan of old-school games like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro.

I've been noticing a trend in the dislikes for this game where people seem to have wanted the original game in its purest form but with updated graphics and some bug fixes. If you fit that description, this game might not be for you and I'd recommend sticking to emulation. Having said that, if you love Pac-Man World 2 and have wondered what it would be like to play the game if it had come out today, then this game is absolutely amazing. Pac-Man World 2 was the first game I ever played, it is very near and dear to my heart and I still play it to this day. I for one think Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac does a phenomenal job at capturing the heart of the original game while adding to it in a way that expands on the original formula instead of changing it all together. It keeps the original level design, soundtrack, enemies, and overall mechanics while adding to them just enough to make you feel like you are playing it for the first time again. And that, I think, is the greatest service of them all. It's very clear that this game was made with the proper amounts of love and care to pay respects to the players of the OG version. Hoping we get a Pac-Man World 3 Re-Pac some day. And maybe if we can squeeze out another miracle, we'll get Pac-Man World 4.
