It’s everything you’d expect from a decent platformer. The controls are responsive, the camera gets out of your way and the button layout is intuitive. From a technical standpoint the game plays very well. While this isn’t going to appeal to most gamers out there, it does a good job at being simple, approachable and true to the source material. Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 is a highly-targeted, high production value licensed game. Granted this is targeted to children so they have more child-like voices, but I’m pretty sure they could have done a better job at relating to their audience than what we are left with. This is especially jarring for old school Pac-Man fans who remember the character with no voice at all. Pac-Man and his friends have annoying voices that you have to deal with the whole time. The only real problem we have with the game was the voice acting. In essence, the game is very safe and just gives you a Pac-Man game, which is fine for fans and generally a solid game, but does little else to attract new fans to the franchise. Ghostly Adventures 2 is not going to blow you out of the water with cutting-edge design or presentation. The stages are rather formulaic and reminiscent of games past. The game looks decent enough on the consoles and it utilizes lots of bright, vibrant colors to make up for the short falls. There are also lots of throwbacks to video game fans, so though you may not know all the characters, you will recognize a lot of the set pieces.įrom a production stand point, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is a very middle of the road game. Overall, is it very simple and certainly easy enough for kids to get into. There are some power-ups distributed around the level which add some variety to the platforming the game is built on. At the end of the stage, you’ll be graded and move on to the next. You are presented with a level and you can make a rush for the end or explore the level and find all the hidden items. There are lots of nods to the show, but unless you are an avid fan, you’ll probably miss most of it.Īt the game’s core, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 is very similar to the first game, which is a very basic 3D platformer much like Gex or Crash Bandicoot. Simply put, you play as Pac-Man and it is up to you and your two friends Spiral and Cylindria to battle against Lord Betrayus and his army of specters to prevent him from taking over Pac-Land.
The premise of the show is actually rather dark when you look at it from a distance, but as far as the game goes, the plot is rather shallow. However, if you like the show and watch it regularly, this is a great way to get more out of that license. Since the cartoon currently airs on the Disney channel, the audience is rather limited for this game.

Instead, this is based off the TV show rather than the classic iterations of Pac-Man of video game lore. This game is a sequel to the original Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures which is not the 2D Pac-Man you may be used to. You read it right, Pac-Man is back with another video game proving to everyone that he is still popular enough to get another game.
