Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a 3D platform game, which is a remake of a game released in 1999 under the title Pac-Man World. It was developed by Now Production studio and released by Bandai Namco.
In Pac-Man World Re-Pac we take on the role of Pac-Man, who arrives home on his birthday. To his horror, the protagonist discovers that his entire family and all the friends who came to his birthday party have been kidnapped by ghosts. The protagonist has no choice but to set out for Ghost Island and rescue his loved ones, as well as deal with Toc-Man, who is behind all the chaos.
In Pac-Man World Re-Pac, we observe the action from a top-down view. We move through levels, in which we jump on platforms, avoid ghosts, as well as eat fruits and get various power-ups. Among the latter, Metal Pac-Man, which allows the hero to move underwater, and Mega Pac-Man, allowing the protagonist to hunt ghosts, lead the way. In addition, long and challenging clashes with bosses await. In total, there are six extensive levels to visit, maintained in a variety of aesthetics: a pirate location, ruins, a playground, a factory, a mansion and even a space stage.
In addition to the story mode, in Pac-Man World Re-Pac an unlockable original mode (in which we can see how the original from 1999 looked like) awaits checking. In addition, the game offers a set of additional mazes, kept in the spirit of classic Pac-Man.
Compared to the original, Pac-Man World Re-Pac stands out due to a thoroughly refreshed graphics. In addition, the authors bent over the controls and introduced a number of improvements, thanks to which the whole meets modern standards.

Game Ratings for Pac-Man World Re-Pac Video Game.
Push Square: 7 / 10 by Scott McCrae
Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a fun look Pac in time to an era where 3D platformers were far more prominent than they are today. While it doesn't quite outclass some of its contemporaries like Crash Bandicoot Warped and Super Mario 64, Pac-Man World isn't one to miss if you're looking for another solid 3D platforming adventure. Depending on how you view the new difficulty balances (or if you just really love Ms. Pac-Man) this is undoubtedly the best way to experience the PS1 classic.
PlayStation Universe: 7 / 10 by Neil Bolt
While it brings some of the regressive issues of the era it was born in, Pac-Man World: Re-Pac is a solid remake of a fondly-remembered platformer.
We Got This Covered: 3 / 5 by Ryan Galloway
Pac-Man World Re-Pac succeeds in bringing the original to a new audience with a few extra bells and whistles, however, it fails to compete against modern 3D platformers.
