Two Pac-Man (Men?) start on the screen, and must collect all the pellets before meeting together to ‘burst’ the fruit, essentially by kissing, before moving onto the next board. It’s clunky, frustrating and becomes more about micromanagement than the fast-paced excellence that Pac-Man is known for. In practice, it’s very much like Pac-Man meets Bubble Bobble, though not half as fun as that combination sounds. Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus brings over all the content from the original release and adds a new “Plus 2P” mode, a new co-op score attack where two players must work together to collect pellets, take down ghosts and rack up the highest score possible. Couple this with an inconsistent framerate and we have a port that does more harm than good. Now, we have the same problems on Nintendo Switch, where yet another needless mode only serves to complicate things further, leading to a frustrating and poor experience. Superfluous additions that took away from the simplistic brilliance of the first meant it didn’t shine as brightly. Last year the team tried to make lightning strike twice with a sequel, but it didn’t quite deliver in the same way. How do you improve on perfection? Bandai Namco pulled the trick off once before with Championship Edition, when it turned the iconic Pac-Man into an incredible modern arcade game.
