Introduction

Let's Play Pac-Man And The Ghostly Adventures 2

You're probably at least aware of the semi-new Pac-Man television series, and may also be aware of the accompanying jingle and slogan. Regardless of whether that's your thing, the games might be! The two 3d platformers based on the show are actually fairly well designed, and I think they go beyond what most would expect from a tie-in product. They're colorful, unique, and just plain fun.

This is the second game in the series. It has a much more arcadey approach than its predecessor, and I think it puts that to good use in its design.You have to think about how to best maximize your score. and not waste potential opportunities to grab points. Successfully reaching the Hi-Score for a stage rewards with a Gold Medal, and this is what we'll be doing. The combat also ties in with traditional Pac-Man in a way that I think befits a 3d-platforming rendition, and I'm surprised it wasn't done this way earlier. You spend a vast majority of the game actually chomping ghosts and chaining attacks together, and the feedback for that is immensely satisfying.
