Pac-Man World 2

Pac-Man World 2 (パックマンワールド2, Pakkuman Wārudo Tsū) is a video game by Namco USA for Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, and Microsoft Windows released in 2002. Like the original Pac-Man World, the player controls the character of Pac-Man in a 3D platforming environment. The Game Boy Advance version is vastly different, with 2D characters moving in an isometric environment.

Why It's Another World

 * 1) This is an awesome Pac-Man 3D platforming adventure sequel to Pac-Man World, as this is another Pac-Man platforming game while still feeling like a Pac-Man game.
 * 2) Nicely designed worlds.
 * 3) Colorful and vibrant graphics.
 * 4) The Butt Bounce and the Rev-Roll form the first game return, which are both used a lot in this game.
 * 5) Nice new move, the Flip Kick, and nice new power-up, the Shrink Pallet.
 * 6) Lots of replay value.
 * 7) Power Pellets also return, which works just the same, using them to defeat regular ghosts.
 * 8) Funky soundtrack.
 * 9) The main ghosts have decent boss fights, but then all come together for one awesome boss fight.
 * 10) Spooky is a very enjoyable final boss and has a good design.
 * 11) The Golden Fruit Tree is a nice new location.
 * 12) So many collectibles throughout the worlds.
 * 13) Sue’s Arcade is a nice new mode, where it has the mazes, the jukebox, the original Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, as well as Pac-Attack and Pac-Mania.
 * 14) Variety of new mazes, it has a total of 16 new mazes in form of mini-games with and without obstacles making it pretty challenging.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some of the Maze mini-games use obstacles that require you to stop and wait while the ghosts are still chasing you.
 * 2) The GBA port of the game is a terrible port.
 * 3) Blinky is considered one of the hardest boss fights of all time due to all of his attacks hurting you, however thanks to the wonky hitbox of Pac-Man, you can dodge all the projectiles by standing still.
 * 4) *Speaking of Blinky (the red ghost), his name was mixed up with Clyde (the orange ghost).
 * 5) The PC port has slightly more washed out colours. It also has the infamous mh:crappygames:StarForce copy protection system, making it almost impossible to play on modern Windows systems.
 * 6) The GameCube version is missing some visuals. (like the water puddles during the first boss)
