PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC Review - The Final Verdict

Ойындар

Clearly, this isn't a genre giant. The original wasn't when it first launched in 1999, and Pac-Man World Re-PAC, which is a very faithful recreation of that experience, definitely feels a little dated in its simplicity. For fans of the original game and for fans of the genre as a whole, there's definitely plenty of enjoyment to be had here- but once you've played through the game (which shouldn't take too long), it probably won't stick out in your memory for too long.

    I think 100%ing it adds a fair bit of challenge. I'm not that far through but the thing has the perfect thing crash 4 has for not dying so going for that can be a challenge. I believe this 95% of completion is score and fruit based where the other 5 is through unlocking and completing marathon mode. I don't think people have a right to complain about challenge in a video game when they only do the bare minimum

    I’m not sure they even finished the game? I looks like they were powering through as fast as they could and they only did the first 2 areas, none of the gameplay I saw was from the space station, carnival, or cemetery areas. Kinda seems like they were ignoring everything, then decided they’d seen it all. Odd review, but still gave the sort of thing I was looking for confirming that it’s a faithful remake with nothing too crazy added.

    Yeah, going for full completion makes the game quite fun and does add much more challenge. I recall Pac-Man World 2 even upped the ante even more as you had to find _every_ item in every level to get full completion. I kind of wish this game had online leaderboards to allow you to see other people's scores in each level.

    Good review! I just beat this game tonight and having played the original as a kid way back when, this was a great way to revisit it! In general, the game is easier (even in normal mode) than the original (of course, that could also be due to just having more game experience as an adult). However, they tweaked a few things like 1-hit deaths in Maze Mode (instead of three from the original) that make some things more challenging. I believe they did some slight tweaks to some levels as well, but the basic level designs are the same. I liked the remixed bosses in Re-Pac as some of the bosses in the original were a bit obnoxious or tedious (or both). The music is a mixed bag, but generally quite good! The only thing I really miss from the original are the cutscenes. The original's cutscenes had so much more personality even with the cheesy voices. The Re-Pac cutscenes just seem so much more static and bland than the original.

    Just the the original version. But the plot in this remastered game "Pac-Man World Re Pac" seems to be a little different. As Pac-Man returns back home while looking shocked, his birthday party has been crashed and also realizes that the ghosts mischievously kidnapped his family and friends. Then looking at the hot air balloon, several flyers drops around and Pac-Man grabs one of the flyers. He starts his long journey to save his family and friends. Meanwhile at the ghost Island, Inky warns Toc-Man, a robotic version of Pac-Man, that the actual Pac-Man has been arrived on the ghost Island. The ghosts accidentally kidnap Pac-Man's family instead of the actual Pac-Man, making Toc-Man very angry. Toc-Man reorders the ghosts to destroy him.

The original was just a fun 3D platformer and that's how it should be- the sequels were open world and I didn't like them. It's a very simplistic, charming, fun game and I always loved it.
