Fun, "Mario-like" game that interests even non-gamers

My girlfriend, who is not a big video game player, was intrigued by the game after we rented it. She now wants to purchase it. She enjoys the different mazes and the "Quest" area. She thinks PacMan is cute.

As for me, I enjoy the challenge of the game. The 3-D style format is exactly what PacMan needs to stay fresh in the gaming world of the "Nineties" and beyond.

as an avid renter, this was a must buy

excellent compliment to the original. don't let the cute littleyellow guy make you think this game is soft. it is the mostchallenging game i've played this year, with extra enemies, superior graphics, and mazes which along with the classic ghosts, power pellets and walking fruit, there are lasers, falling ceilings, and other projectiles to contend with. unless you grew up in a cave, this is a must own.

This is one of the best games I have played in a while. I will admit that I am not into all of those massive role playing games, Like Syphon Filter and Metal Gear, but this is a throw back to the days of Super Mario Brothers and Sonic. And that's just the adventure part of the game. you also get the old classic arcade style pac-man, and an all new 3-d pac-man game played very much like the old arcade game, but with much better graphics(obviously). A fun game that everyone will enjoy!

Pac Man is back!

My boyfriend and I own a Playstation and the majority of games that we own are fighting games. One week before Pac Man was released I had commented how much I missed playing Pac Man on the Atari I had growing up. I was extremely happy when Playstation released Pac Man. Not only does it have the Classic Arcade version, it has a 90s updated version of the mazes AND a quest to boot. Although I'm having trouble completing one level, I love the rest!

Namco delivers another quality classic

Namco is well known for releasing quality software and this is no exception. This game was delayed numerous times until Namco felt that it met or exceeded the expectations of today's gamers. The result: one of this year's best platform games and a fitting tribute to probably THE most recognized character in video game history. Included is the original Pac-Man classic, a 3-D maze mode (ala Pac-Mania), and a new Quest (adventure) mode. The Quest mode has Pac-Man taking a romp in a colorful and well-designed 3-D world. This is polished platform gaming at its finest. Pac-Man has numerous capabilities to help him solve some very clever little puzzles throughout the 20+ levels. Control is tight and responsive. The music and sound effects are also well done. Had Pac-Man World contained only the Quest mode, it would have been a worthy purchase. But add in the classic and 3-D maze modes as well and you have a ton of replay value in your hands. Highly recommended, especially to those of you who have young children. Also, Pac-Man World is sure to appeal to girlfriends or wives who otherwise wouldn't be caught dead playing a video game.

A great game with a great hero

What a cool twist to an outdated arcade game! Namco has done it again. Don't let the little guy fool you, this game rules. And now it has a whole new plot!

You can experience the challenge of the original Pac-man in over thirty all-new *3-D* pac-mazes. But it's more than just eating dots and dodging ghosts. There are over twenty 3-D worlds for platform style gameplay. And this guy's got all-new moves. Now he also jumps, bounces, revs, and swims.

Feeling nostalgic? This game will suit you too. Chomp ghosts the old-fashioned way. The origninal Pac-Man game is included. (Yes, all the levels!) Overall, this is a great game with a great hero.

Fun even for the video game challenged

I am not very good at video games as I have not played many since the days of Atari, however this game is a must. It is challenging (and frustrating), but loaded with nostalgic fun and great graphics. I am really enjoying it and I have a long way to go still. Well worth the price.

What can I say... IT RULES!

This game is one of the best games I'v ever played! So in other words I would recomend this game for people who just like plain fun. Though fans of the original game might be dissapointed.

It just keeps getting better

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (well Japan Actually) there emerged a video game featuring a charector who was little more than a yellow mouth who's sole purpose in life was to travel around a maze gathering fruit, eating dots and avoiding ghosts, that yellow mouth was named Pac Man and he was the very first video game superstar (believe it or not! )he had his own bubble gum cards, his own brand of scratch card and even his own cartoon show in short he had it all, but then times changed and he became just a fond memory somebody you think about and smile. But now 20 years after his conception, he is back in three dimensions, out of the maze and with legs! Pac Man world is a game that has something for everyone, it's a platform game, its a travel around 3D mazes game and with the inclussion of the original arcade classic it's retro fun for all the family. There is a story attached to the platform game, which does'nt make much sense and is irrelevent to your enjoyment of the game, all you need to know is that it is FUN, ADDICTIVE and the best playstation game I have bought in a long time. You should buy this game, you must buy this game in fact buy two copies in case one wears out! This is fun, this is addictive, this game has long lasting appeal, buy it, you won't be sorry!
