Taking him a while to adjust to the turbo-boosted pace of the modern Pac-Man was a challenge, but Dad quickly warmed to the concept. While playing for review, my Dad was in town, who was able to view Pac-Man CE2+ through his experience of growing up playing the likes of Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, and the original Pac-Man at the local arcades back in the day. The only technical issue I could fault was the occasional frame-rate drops, but they only occurred during transitional animations which yielded little to no impact on my gameplay. Although these missions are quick and self-contained, I swiftly felt pangs of monotony despite all the pretty colours and sounds emanating from the Switch. Due to the specific design of each mission, these levels feel more akin to high-octane puzzles than what the classic Pac-Man experience does. Every mission can be attempted at varying difficulty levels, changing the time limit established for success. This mode pits your skills against a level with deliberately placed pellets, where the goal can vary from eating all the pellets and fruit, to consuming the ghosts in your way, all the way to a boss encounter against a giant ghost looming in the background which is damaged by each screen you clear. Score Attack, which can be played in either single or two-player variants, and Adventure mode are where you’ll spend most of your time searching for that Pac-Man high.Īdventure Mode is somewhat disingenuous in its title, as it is more of a bite-sized mission mode, where each level is strictly standalone. Featuring two main modes to wakka-wakka your way through, in addition to online leaderboards, Pac-Man CE2+ bets its existence on players enjoying the core experience of the game. Pac-Man CE2+ is an absolute LSD-trip of a game where the pace is cranked up to frantic levels of mayhem. Pac-Man CE2+ offers a couple of different modes for high score hunters, but aside from the clever Switch-exclusive co-op mode, the rest of the game falls short of recapturing the best form of everyone’s favourite pie-shaped pellet gobbler.Īlthough shades of the original arcade game remain, your classic coin-op Pac-Man experience this is not. Players’ enjoyment of Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus ( Pac-Man CE2+) will largely depend on how thrilling you find chasing high scores on a leaderboard.
