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

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 takes an already fiendishly addictive arcade game and adds a fantastic multiplayer mode. At $20 it's an impulse buy for any Switch owner.

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is a very good puzzle / reflex game, for newcomers and veterans who have already tried the first game. It offers new rules that boost the gameplay and renew the fun, and this Switch version also adds a game within the game, with a very cool co-op mode. Since the game comes out at a low price on eShop, we see no good reason to avoid this sweetmeat, as long as you like frantic arcade games where scoring depends primarily on your reflexes and your smartness.

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.

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.

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.

The new co-op mode is incredibly fun and just proves that two-player Pac-Man should be a mandatory option for all future Pac-Man releases. It is disappointing that the co-op mode is limited to only five levels and an unlockable "Boss Rush" mode.

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is a great, unique Pac-Man game. Bandai Namco are have lately been surprsing with how far they can bend the Pac-Man formula without breaking it, and Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is another success of this.

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus performs well on Switch, with only a few fits of noticeable slowdown while in handheld mode. The Plus 2P mode is a nice addition, but sadly lacks the content available in the main game. If you're looking for a fun and quick distraction for a few minutes every once in a while, this game may be right up your alley.

This isn’t your father’s Pac-Man! Featuring new gameplay mechanics and colorful visuals, this is high-octane adrenaline-filled pure fun that any lover of arcade games will appreciate. The two-player co-op mode is a ton of fun and a perfect fit for the Switch’s “Share The Joy” concept. Don’t let this one pass you up.

Pac-man Championship Edition 2 Plus keeps all the fun and frenetic gameplay that made the original so appealing, a inconsistent frame rate holds back the otherwise great package that shouldn't be missed.

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.
