enager being sucked into a pac man arcade cabinet by the ghosts and their leader the ghost lord and transforming into pac man 7 the game was made to break the mold of previous pac man games such as having a grittier look 7 namco s japanese division put pressure on the project with strict guidelines anderson recalls being unable to use a 3d render of the character as a reference requiring the team to make it themselves 7 development was assisted by designer scott rogers with music composed by tommy tallarico 7 when the prototype was presented to namco they became unhappy with it and cancelled it for quality reasons firing the entire development team aside from rogers an artist and a programmer 8 namco also pushed the release date back to 1998 to allow the game to be reworked 9 the team decided to revamp the project with a new gameplay engine rogers who had previously worked on localization for namco s own soul edge and xevious 3d g became the head designer of the project and created many of the enemies and stage layouts 8 the team set out to retain the flavor and feel of the original pac man and to bring the character into an entertaining platform game 8 inspiration was taken from earlier platform games in the series notably pac land 1984 and pac in time 1995 8 during development rogers noted that trying to live up to the game s source material put a large amount of pressure on the team claiming that most players were only familiar with the original pac man and ms pac man with no memories for later games in the series which left the team having to make the game appeal to players of those two games 8 the game originally featured cameos from other namco characters including taizo hori from dig dug and valkyrie from valkyrie no densetsu however these were replaced with members of pac man s family in the final version a pooka from dig dug was later added into the game due to the character s popularity in japan 8 the game s main antagonist toc man is named after namcot the older japanese home console division of namco 8 pac man wasn t given a voice in the game due to namco being unable to decide what he should sound like some suggested that he sound like an adult male and others like a human child 8 to save money on voice acting and animation the character was left largely unvoiced with no lines spoken tommy tallarico s studio was hired back for the game s audio with joey kuras being responsible for the sound design and todd dennis composing the music 1 2 the game was first shown at the 1998 electronic entertainment expo e3 tradeshow in atlanta georgia under the working title pac man 3 d 5 rogers recalls it being a popular title saying that many play testers shared with him their memories with pac man series 8 it was then shown off at e3 1999 under the final title of pac man world 20th anniversary 10 the game was released in north america on october 15 1999 to coincide with the original release of pac man in the united states 11 the advertisements notably featured mr t and verne troyer as neighbors in beverly hills who are shocked to see pac man move into and renovate the house across the street from them 12 it was later released in japan on november 2 1999 13 and in europe on february 28 2000 a game boy advance version was developed by full fat and released in 2004 the playstation version was digitally re released on the playstation network in 2013 part of the psone classics brand 14 reception edit reception aggregate score aggregator score gamerankings 81 15 review scores publication score allgame 4 5

gameplay soundtrack graphics and originality holding an 81 score on aggregator website gamerankings though the gba version held a score of 59 00 15 by 2007 the game had sold over 1 24 million copies in north america alone 22 gamespot compared the game favorably to namco s own klonoa door to phantomile praising its colorful graphics character animations and controls concluding that it was worthy of anyone s library 19 ign had a similar response liking the game s originality graphics and soundtrack they especially praised its gameplay for standing out among other platform games with its puzzle solving and animation style 20 gamefan praised its gameplay puzzle solving mechanics and inclusion of the original pac man 18 while official us playstation magazine applauded its gameplay vibrant graphics challenge and boss fights saying that the game s use of nostalgia doesn t feel forced on the player 21 gamefan also wrote that the game perfectly mimics those old 8 bit and 16 bit platformers we used to go nuts over comparing the game s quality favorably to klonoa door to phantomile 18 atari hq liked how the game tied in a platform game with mechanics from the original highly praising its gameplay and originality 5 game revolution was particularly negative towards the game saying that it simply existed as a marketing ploy to scoop up additional money from the name recognition they criticized the game for lacking originality particularly comparing it unfavorably to donkey kong country and crash bandicoot as well as for having an unbalanced difficulty level and quick corner cutting development they only recommended the game to hardcore pac man fans although mockingly commented that they probably bought it already 23 remake edit 2022 video game pac man world re pac
