Game mechanics
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.
Game modes
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.
Technical aspects
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.
