Pac-Man is one of the icons in gaming history that so many of us had a great memories with it and experience a new Pac-Man game such as Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 plus is always fun and nostalgic for us, specialy on nintendo switch. Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 plus is a game full of innovation and new gameplay elements that made us a very refreshing and new experience of a Pac-Man game, but beside the positive side, we must say that these innovations and changes, sometimes damage the game and moved it far away from roots of series.the game has diffrent modes such as adventure or score attack that are very entertaining and made you a delightful experience along with these lovely creatures. exclusive 2-player co-op mode on nintendo switch is so amazing and made this game more entetaining than ever.

PAC-MAN Championship Edition 2 PLUS could have been the definitive version of an already almost perfect game. The damming frame-rate drops are bad enough to affect the game's playability and oftentimes lead to unfair losses. In spite of the technical shortcomings, though, those who manage to adapt or compensate for this unyieldingly flaw will still find that this is a wonderful version of an already beloved arcade classic. The music and sound effects are all distinctively very Pac-Man, but with a techno flair to it that gives it a bit of extra synth-crunch. Anyone who loves the arcade original will love this new take on it, but be warned that it does have some pretty bad chop and would be best to wait till it gets patched.

PMCE2+ is an excellent addition to the Switch eShop, not to mention a spectacular evolution of the Pac-Man franchise.

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. Without the well-implemented high score chases, it's still fun, just maybe more fleeting than it could have been.

Ultimately, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is proof that bigger isn't always better. The additional gameplay mechanics only get in the way of how fun the original was, and makes the screen a busy mess at times. The saving grace is that the Switch version of the game is perfect for short play sessions, which makes it a decent purchase for those that want Pac-Man on the go.

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 PLUS is probably the most fun I've ever had with Pac-Man. It plays so smoothly, looks amazing and sounds great, too. It's the definitive Pac-Man experience as long as you're not looking for the original game. Obviously, it can get a little repetitive, but it takes its sweet time until it does.

If you’ve not played a Pac-Man game recently, as I imagine most of us haven’t, it’s worth a dip, and even if you’re a pellet-munching savant this is the best portable Pac-Man you’ll get, and the two-player justifies it as well. Waka waka indeed.

Pac-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.

Now available on the Nintendo Switch, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2+ won't win awards for its innovation, but it's a great way to be introduced to the series which is a pure and simple arcade game. The folks at Namco Bandai have managed the feat of not only rejuvenate one of the greatest classic games, but to add a little something fresh to it, and one hell of a fun soundtrack.

In all, if you have ever loved Pac-Man, know that this version on the Switch is well worth owning. It brings some great twists to the formula and does in a way that feels natural and welcoming to all players. Chasing a high score is addictive and playing with friends is also a lot of fun. This is a title that is well worth the entry price, especially if you haven't played it on another console. Pac-Man and the Switch is a perfect fit and this game is the proof.
