As someone who played the original Pac-Man World games at a very young age, I was extremely excited when I saw PAC-MAN World Re-Pac had been released. I was disappointed that there was not a remaster of the second game, as that was my favorite, but I bought it anyways, and was not disappointed. This game is a close to perfect copy of the original PAC-MAN World, and thus it does an amazing job of recreating the magic the original game had, but it also contains the same issues the original had. The movement is sloppy at times, and the level design feels very early 3D platformer. Even though all the graphics look much better, the original levels were so low-poly it still feels aged. I think it would've been better off taking more liberty by tweaking some of the original levels'a designs so some wouldn't feel as barren. Also, everytime I died more than 2 or 3 times in a level, the game would practically beg me to turn on easy mode. After saying no multiple times, I felt like the game was almost making fun of me by continuing to ask. "Do you want us to hold your hand and turn on baby mode? You clearly keep dying."
Still, PAC-MAN World RE-PAC still makes for an enjoyable platformer, and it is not a bad game by any stretch. I am quite close to 100% completing it, and I have had a great time along the way. If a second remaster is released, I will gladly purchase it too.
