Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures was a pleasant surprise. Released smack dab in the middle of the busiest gaming season, it proved both a nice respite from an onslaught of mature AAA titles as well as a nostalgic throwback to the yellow puck’s adventures through the PS1 era. Surprisingly, Pac is back just a year later in a brand new adventure, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2.
Ghostly Adventures 2 is quite similar to its predecessor in practically ever area. A 3D platformer, players take Pac-man through five worlds including Pacopolis, Paclantis, Prehistoric World Netherworld and Outerspace. These are nicely varied from the worlds in the original, although none with the exception of outer quite seem different enough from each other. The central hook is again that Pac-Man can transform into six different variations including Chameleon, Metal, Fire, Ice and more. This varies up the gameplay as instead of simply traversing the over forty levels as standard old Pac-Man, new gameplay variations are constantly thrown at players.

Worth Playing: The original Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures on the 3DS was a different iteration compared to the home console versions. The focus on 2-D platforming instead of 3-D made sense, but the result was mediocre, especially when compared to similar games on the system. In our previous review, it was suggested that the game might have been better off as a full 3-D adventure, since there weren't too many of those at the time. It seems Vicious Cycle had the same idea, as Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 is a 3-D platformer on the 3DS. It's actually a carbon copy of the home console version, just in a scaled-down form.
