Pac Man World 2

This game is, with absolutely no exaggeration whatsoever, one of the greatest 3d platformers of all time, maybe even the best. Let's discuss this hidden gem.

I don't think I've ever even heard of this game. What in the hell possessed them to make a 3d platformer out of fucking Pac-man of all things?
Tell me about it. Is it really that good?

Not OP, I had fun with it. Every level has some hard to find hidden collectibles, boss fights are fun, they have a few segments that break up the standard loop.

See if you can find the ROM or whatever and give it a try, I'm sure it will surprise you.

Pac-Man World 1 is better imo.

Have you played the PC version? It got cracked last year.

I don't know how to properly embed a youtube video but here's one of the treetop levels, which was one of my favorite level themes: youtube.com/watch?v=pZyz9YqZkhw

Yeah, this game is a cult classic, it's got excellent music and graphics, but the gameplay is just fucking awesome. There's skating levels (last image of OP), an arcade that you can unlock games in, levels are packed full of secrets, there's volcano levels, you can spindash (basically a spin dash) off big ass ramps over huge pits, bounce off shit, fuck up big cool bosses, scuba dive in one of the few instances of good 3d water levels, run from avalanches, I know I'm forgetting some stuff too… This game has it all, its great. It emulates perfectly in Dolphin too so I recommend it, the game picks up really quickly.

I'm getting all nostalgic for it so I might play in a bit

Pacman World 1 is pretty good but I think 2 is just too good. Why did the PC version only just get cracked last year though haha

Play the PC version instead
Here's the crack
theisozone.com/downloads/pc/patches/pacman-world-2-crack-usa/

No fucking idea man, seems like it came out around the time where some major titles came out and nobody picked it up.

Shit really? I bought a joypad a few weeks ago. Yeah I'll play it again then.

theisozone.com/downloads/pc/windows-games/pac-man-world-2-3/ Yeah, here's the iso. Less than 500mb.

God bless whoever did that then. I didn't even know there was a PC version

Downloading it now, you better not be bullshitting me.

All three pac-man world games are surprisingly good, would recommend playing all of them.

Are the handheld ones good too?

Trust me, you'll be surprised. Post back here after you play for a bit m8, and fyi the game really picks up at the treetops levels, the first few levels are standard easy stuff so you should just barrel right through them


What's the verdict on 3? As far as I know that's the least liked one


No idea but Namco had unexpectedly high production value during this generation so they are likely at least a cut above what you'd expect

The GBA games are pretty fun but nothing special, 3 on the DS just plain sucks and the PSP game is just a port of the console version iirc

Oh shit, 2 & 3 have PC ports, downloading now. Thanks!

Love the first one on PS1.

Because it had fucking Starforce and nobody wanted to even try and crack that hellspawn drm.

Oh shoot, that's bullshit.

To sympathize with the devs though I'm sure PC was not a high priority target platform so they didn't put much thought into it, I'm surprised there is a PC port.

I remember it being somewhat challenging as as a kid but rather enjoyable and FUN.

So if you install and use this crack, you won't get fucked by Starforce?

So was Bomberman Heroes and to a lesser extent 64. Devs around the turn of the century for some reason wanted to catch up to nintendo in the 3d platformer realm and they usually did a good, if not better, job at it.

I remember playing it on PS2 I liked it but it felt pretty standard to me whats so great about it? And why do so many Holla Forums anons upload playthroughs of it?

and I was so excited too

I don't get the obsession with pac-man world 2. I played it and liked it, but it wasn't something AMAZING, I honestly enjoyed spending time in the in-game arcade.

Now if I wanted to name an overlooked adventure game as the BEST FUCKING PLATFORMER-ADVENTURE GAME OF ALL TIME, it would 100% be pic related

This game was the shit when I was in elementary I never beat it because I was pretty bad at games back then, but I remember trying to get all the tokens for the arcade.

Pac-Man World is the only good 3D Pac platformer, I can't stand 2's shitty level design and awful soundtrack

is this bait?

I remember seeing this every so often. I wonder if it emulates well.

Speaking of other games, was Scaler any good? I remember thinking the premise was dumb but if you can grind around like Jet Set Radio, I'm game.

Man, I remember some of the last 2/5ths really breaking my balls way back when we first got a gamecube. Fun game, I'd really like to go back and play it again.

I haven't played it in over a decade but I remembered really enjoying it.

Was anyone else ever able to gather enough friends to play the pic related which came along with world 2?

I've been able to like a decade later with my little brother and his friends since all my friends are gone.

No, I never even got my gameboy/gamecube adapter thing to work. I think it's broken or something.

There was that one ghost boardwalk stage with the falling floor fuck that level.

bumping because pac-man is cool

No, that's a moron

I remember the treetop levels spooking the shit out of me so I didn't get farther than that. Might replay it now that it was brought up though.

My nigga,i used to play this game with swap magic back in the ps2 days and the parts where you played as the animals were fun but sometimes frustrating.

i bet this when i was in elementary to the last boss really aggravated me, beat it once and never beat the boss again for some reason after.

The camera in this game is fucking broken, anyone who went through the tree world knows this. Other than that, there are lots of platforms (especially in the ice world) where you'll land on top of them but they're curved in such a way that if you're not on the very top you'll fall off. There are 3 boss fights, but they repeat the 2nd one multiple times with different colors. I beat it when I was a kid but I can also recognize in hindsight that Pac Man World 2 was a bad game.

fuck you pacman world 2 is great.

There's an entire level where you're rollerblading on a set of docks with the camera locked so that you can't look behind you. It's shit.

How is that a problem? The level doesn't force you to go back or anything. You're suppose to keep moving forward because the docks fall apart.

Aye, I remember having this when I first got my GameCube.

The game was hard as fuck, but I loved all the games you could've unlocked in the arcade with tokens. I wouldn't call it the "best", but it was damn good.

...

I don't see how that's a problem. You are just another autistic nofun faggot who always has a million reasons to complain about a game and not enjoy it. You are the cancer killing Holla Forums

Fuck me, I misclicked and hit send the first time

Anyway, I used to play it when I was younger. It's honestly pretty fun although a bit shallow. Kinda makes me sad that they never made a Wii or Wii U one, considering the Wii U gamepad.

I recognize that image. Wish she'd make NSFW Pac-Man and G&W porn again.

she?
the art is not even that good, why do you want more of it? it's just male video game characters showing off their comically large wieners.

I did. Two friends, my brother, and me, braiding the damn cables when it came time to change modes, but that was like ten years ago.

Pretty sure it's a she. Also comically large wieners are my fetish.
