Pac-Man World Re-Pac: A classic Pac-Man title is back and better than ever

sportskeeda.com:

In 1999, Pac-Man World came to life as a new 3D platformer, and in 2022, it’s back as Pac-Man World Re-Pac. While I love Pac-Man as a franchise, I never got into Pac-Man World games.

In 1999, I was far more interested in JRPGs, which has not appreciably changed. However, I sincerely appreciate what this did to bring the game back to life for a brand new audience.

While Pac-Man World Re-Pac can be incredibly short, if you’re good at it, it’s gorgeous, features tight controls and little secrets. It is a good amount of bang for your buck. This is not a full-price game, or I’d have been disappointed.

In 1999, Pac-Man’s world changed by changing his adventures into a trilogy of 3D platformers. Unfortunately, they came at the heyday of 3D platformers like Super Mario Bros. 64 and similar titles. Bigger, more popular titles drowned it out, and while Pac-World was a serviceable game, it didn’t compete as well.

Fast forward to 2022, and Bandai Namco has brought the classic back. While I did not play the original, I am familiar with it. I was more of a traditional Pac-Man/Pac-Man Championship fan. However, I will say that this genuinely blew me away.

I’m not a 3D platforming fan, but I found myself hooked on playing Pac-Man World Re-Pac. I spent most of yesterday plowing through the stages, and while I didn’t have a hard time, I don’t think that isn’t good.

Honestly, I wish this would have been a collection of the three Pac-World games, but I enjoyed what I was given.

For those unaware, Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a 3D platformer where Toc-Man, a killer robot, has kidnapped the entire Pac Family. It’s up to Pac-Man to go through a series of stages, defeat Toc-Man’s allies, and free his family.

The stages in Pac-Man World Re-Pac are 2.5/3D,
