Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures

About This Game

Gameplay

Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures is a graphic adventure game, a vast departure from its predecessors. Players assume the role of Pac-Man as he must carry out different quests given to him by other characters. Many of these involve retrieving a specific item, such as a bottle of milk or a flower. Unlike other adventure games, players cannot control Pac-Man directly, who will wander and interact with the in-game world at his own pace. Instead, players use a slingshot to guide, or "influence" Pac-Man to his destination or to attract his attention towards a specific object. The player is able to also use the slingshot on Pac-Man, which can result in various changes to Pac-Man's current mood, or can wake him up after fainting. In each quest, the player will need to solve puzzles to progress. The solutions to these puzzles are based on Pac-Man's moods, which differ based on the player's actions. For example, the player can shoot down an apple from a tree, which Pac-Man will eat and makes him happier, while shooting Pac-Man in the face will make him irritated or depressed.
