Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is a great arcade-like game that’s satisfyingly fast-paced, yet casual enough to pick up and play whenever and where ever.
Rachel Poli · Mar 11, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewPac-Man Championship Edition 2 PLUS is the definitive Pac-Man experience. It’s a load of fun for fast games on the go, with especially the single-player adventure mode giving you very little time to reach its goals. However, it’s the two-player mode where the game really shines, jumping out of its own comfort zone and hitting you with elements you’d never expect in a Pac-Man game.
Léon Othenin-Girard · Mar 07, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewPac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus brings the challenging Pac-Man game to the Switch with a brand new, exclusive co-op mode. The original Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 mode features all the content from the original release in 2016. It would have been nice if the developers toned down the difficulty of the Adventure mode, Score Attack still is pretty fun to play.
Alex Everatt · Mar 04, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThe core of Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is good, especially with the Score Attack mode and the novel new local two-player mode. Unfortunately, the botched offline score uploading, minor technical issues, and disappointing Adventure mode drag the entire experience down. If you have friends locally to play the two-player mode or friends online to score chase with, this is a fine game, at least as long you’re always near WiFi when you get high scores.
Neal Ronaghan · Feb 25, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewPac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is a perfect fit with the Nintendo Switch. It’s easy to pick up and impossible to put down – especially when trying to hit that target score. With plenty of variety and levels to play through, there’s quite a lot to get stuck into. However, if you are anything like me, you will probably spend days alone fine-tuning your run, just trying to get that S rank on the first map.
Darren Palma · Feb 22, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewPac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is everything that fans of the classic arcade game could want out of a legacy sequel, focusing on delivering a pure, high-speed realization of the concept that was introduced way back in 1980. Between the single player and multiplayer modes, there’s enough content here for hours of play, and it’s all endlessly replayable.
Mitch Vogel · Feb 22, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewPac-Man Championship Edition 2 shines in all the same ways as Pac-Man Championship Edition, just with a light that's a little duller. Levels are still fun, they're just not as fun. The action still has a funky, flow-y groove, just not as funky or flow-y.
Alex Langley · Sep 19, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewWhile not returning the original game designer for Pac-Man that retired after finishing the first game, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 uses what makes the Pac-Man formula so fun and takes it to another level. While the new Adventure Mode isn’t a huge standout due to the disappointing boss battles, new mechanical changes, like the ability to bump ghosts, really add a lot of excitement to an already fast paced game that makes Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 a very worthy follow-up on its predecessor.
Dean James · Sep 18, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewArcade ports tend to be games we play in short bursts--mostly for the nostalgia factor. Pac-Man: Championship Edition 2 certainly relies on that nostalgia to a point, but it handles the classic game in a way that plays with expectations to surprise you. It’s the same game enhanced in the right directions to be make an old concept fun, innovative, and challenging all over again.
Jason D'Aprile · Sep 16, 2016 Reviewed on PC, PS4, XB1, SwitchRead full reviewPac-Man Championship Edition II is a really fun game. It changes up the formula enough to keep things feeling fresh, its look and feel is fantastic, and the overall package will keep fans playing for hours on end. It really is a sequel worth the Pac-Man name, and I for one absolutely love it. I think many of you will as well, and I highly suggest giving it a shot.
