![]() Rolling Pac-Man around feels responsive unlike the other platformers here, making it easily the best of the bunch. Each level has a specific number of pellets to collect, and you will need most of them to pass through the gates that otherwise block progression. Another platformer, but this time in three dimensions, it doubles down on an element of modern platformers: Collecting everything. Pac ‘n Roll Remix is the closest game in the collection to Pac-Man World. It is a fantastic addition however, and I am once again left wondering why there hasn’t been a modern Motos release. Pac-Motos is the same gameplay, but just with a Pac-Man makeover. It’s as simple as that, but it gets addictive as you push for highscores. Essentially, you have to push any and all enemies off the map. I spent a lot of time playing Motos when I was younger and it feels like it’s one of those games left behind in an age where remakes, rereleases and remasters are commonplace. ![]() Then we get to Pac-Motos, which, if I am being honest, was the main draw of this compilation for myself. Admittedly, this feels a bit lacking when compared to the sequel, but still offers some unique ways to chow down some pellets. Similar too with Pac-Man Championship Edition. ![]() As a pure Pac-Man offering, this is definitely one of the best in the collection. It reverts back to the mazes but updates things substantially with new layouts and environmental obstacles too. Again, I was only able to access the arcade version due to the console version not unlocking for me. Then we get to the two Pac-Man Arrangement games. A shame really, as it is a falling tile puzzle game, and some much needed variation in this compilation. However, having done so more than twice, it remains locked out for me. To unlock Pac-Attack, you simply need to play Pac-In-Time twice. Many of the 14 titles in the museum need to be unlocked by completing missions within the other games. Or, it would be if the game allowed me access to it. In a game built upon quick reflexes and the necessity to change directions in a split second, the input lag will severely dampen your enjoyment. Veterans players will recommend ‘reading-up’ your next move in the maze by hitting the directional button a second before you get to the junction, but the input lag here makes this impossible. It also rears an ugly head in several other titles such as Super Pac-Man and Pac-Man Championship Edition, but it is most noticeable here. But it is worth mentioning at this point the input lag present across many titles in Pac-Man Museum+, as it is at its worst in Pac-Mania. Pac-Mania is a return to the maze but this time it is in 3D and Pac-Man can jump over ghosts. Pac-Land is a nice little bit of experimentation, but it is a very basic 2D platformer at best. The ghosts are present – this time around driving cars, planes and other vehicles – and can still stop Pac-Man in his tracks. A side-scrolling platformer, Pac-Man must save the fairies by reaching the end of the stages. Play all 14 legendary titles like the classic PAC-MAN and PAC-LAND, as well as the newly included PAC-IN-TIME and PAC-MAN 256.It isn’t until Pac-Land that we see any major variation, but it isn’t exactly anything to write home about either. Play a variety of classic and nostalgic PAC-MAN games across many genres! ![]() PAC-MAN MUSEUM+ includes 14 titles from the legendary PAC-MAN series!
