Rather than using his Pac-Fists to punch his Pac-Enemies, Pac-Man uses his Pac-Ass to perform a devastating butt bounce that launches him higher up into the air. This isn’t just an offensive maneuver it’s key to traversing the levels (which are a solid mix of 2.5D with depth rather than open 3D stages). Every level features collectibles to unlock in the form of letters, hidden mazes that play like the original arcade title (which is also playable), and gold crowns to earn through skillful play.Īnd while Re-Pac might be easy to compare to other platformers of the time, Pac-Man is different from other mascots like Mario since he didn’t come fully equipped with a clear move set to interact within a 3D space. While a brief game (there are just over 20 levels), Re-Pac has plenty to offer those who still want to continue on after its stellar final boss fight. However, Re-Pac manages to use the original’s small scale to its favor as it offers a satisfying serving of retro fun that doesn’t overstay its welcome. It was a lot less ambitious than Spyro and didn’t have nearly as much content when compared to other N64 collectathons like Banjo-Kazooie. Pac-Man World is an intriguing title to remake as it was never considered the top of its class when it came to 3D platformers. Featuring shiny and colorful graphics that look more like an HD remaster of a PlayStation 2 game rather than a modern title, Re-Pac is nonetheless a faithful recreation of the 1999 release and still a rather good platformer. While Bandai Namco hasn’t gone all-out in modernizing Pac-Man World, it has received a sizable refresh with Pac-Man World Re-Pac. Remaking beloved PlayStation 3D platformers has become quite popular as of late, as Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Oddworld, and Klonoa have all been revived within the last few years.
