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.

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 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.

Overall, the Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus release for the Nintendo Switch is a one-up on all the other releases of the game previously. It has the original game very much intact and this new ‘plus' game that turns the established gameplay design on its head (in a good way). Two beautiful forms of frustrating entertainment in one must-have package for the Nintendo Switch.

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is everything that fans of the classic arcade game could want out of a legacy sequel, focusing on delivering a pure, high-speed realization of the concept that was introduced way back in 1980. Between the single player and multiplayer modes, there's enough content here for hours of play, and it's all endlessly replayable. We would give this game a strong recommendation to anyone that enjoys the easy to learn, difficult to master gameplay that you typically find in an arcade game; PCE2 has it in spades. For 20 bucks, this one is a no-brainer.

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.
