Pac Man World 2 Ps2 Blue Graphic Glitch on Pcsx2
Pac-Man World 2 (パックマンワールド2 Pakkuman Wārudo Tsū) is a game released by Namco Hometek in 2002 for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, and later ported to Game Boy Advance and Windows platforms. It serves as the direct sequel to Pac-Man World, and is the second game in the Pac-Man World series.
Story
One night in Pac-Village, while all the Pac-People are asleep, Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde appear and decide to mess around. Mischievously, they pick the Golden Fruit off the village's Golden Fruit Tree and play with them. Suddenly, the clouds in the sky darken as the ground rumbles and the tree shoots out of the ground. Pinky gasps in shock as she and her other ghosts look that they accidentally freed something very evil; the imprisoned Spooky - a large, menacing and evil ghost with red eyes and bull-like horns - was released from underneath the tree. First he evilly laughs and then convinces the four ghosts to steal the Golden Fruit and join him to destroy the Pac-People.
When Pac-Man wakes up the following morning, Professor Pac-Man tells him what happened and recaps the history of Spooky; a long time ago, the great Wizard Pac used a potion to create the Golden Fruit. Sir Pac-A-Lot had defeated Spooky and used the Golden Fruit to imprison him under the tree. With all the Golden Fruit removed, it is up to Pac-Man to get them back and defeat Spooky once again before Pac-Village will be doomed.
Once Pac-Man collected all the stolen Golden Fruits, he ultimately turns gold and is ready to fight against Spooky. But Spooky thinks that the Golden Fruits can't save Pac-Man's life.
After Pac-Man successfully defeats Spooky, he is re-imprisoned under the tree using the Golden Fruit. As daylight breaks, the Pac-People emerge from their homes to congratulate Pac-Man. While Blinky and the other ghosts plot to free Spooky once again, Chomp-Chomp overhears them and eats a Power Pellet. Ultimately, Blinky and his other ghosts turned blue as they looked in shock which they start running away from Chomp-Chomp while screaming. Later, his nose turns blue after he ate all the ghosts. While all Pac-People are still victorious cheering, Pac-Man winks his eye as he become a true hero. Then the screen moves to sky and the text says "THE END".
Gameplay
Like in the original Pac-Man World, the player controls Pac-Man in a 3D environment, guiding him along a linear path with the simple objective of reaching the end. He must also evade enemies like Ghosts and Pac-Bears. The game has 25 levels (17 in GBA) in six different-themed environments, alongside 15 unlockable Galaxian mazes.
All basic features of the first game - Butt Bouncing, Rev Rolling, Power Pellets and the like - are implemented into this game, but are now perfected in their mechanics. The Steel Ball power-up also returns, joined by the new Shrink Pellet, which makes Pac-Man tiny for about six seconds. Pac-Man also has a new move, called a Flip Kick, that allows him to kick in midair.
Mazes
Mazes are unlocked by collecting Galaxian Flagships, which appear in the majority of levels; you only have to collect the Galaxian itself (unlike in the first game, where the player must also open a door with it). Eating the item will transport Pac-Man into a three-dimensional maze, akin to the classic arcade games. The mazes can be replayed in Sue's Arcade.
Sue's Arcade
In Pac-Village, there is an arcade led by a Pac-Person named Sue. This houses six arcade machines, which can be played once the player has collected the amount of required Tokens. Tokens are scattered throughout levels, with each one containing 8 tokens (extra 9th token for getting 100% completion, and the extra 10th token for through the time trial). The games include:
- Pac-Man — 10 tokens required. Same version found in Namco Museum Vol. 1 and Pac-Man World.
- Pac-Attack — 30 tokens required. Uses the "enhanced" version from Namco Anthology 2.
- Pac-Mania — 100 tokens required. Same version found in Namco Museum Vol. 5.
- Ms. Pac-Man — 180 tokens required. Same version found in Namco Museum Vol. 3. The GameCube version features a bug where the maze's colors are incorrect in most levels.
- Mazes — No tokens required. Allows the player to replay the mazes unlocked with Galaxians.
- Jukebox — 60 tokens required. Plays all the music tracks found within the game.
- Museum — 150 tokens required. Allows the player to view a reel of concept art and photo of the development team. Located in the building opposite the Arcade.

Game Boy Advance Version
A later version of Pac-Man World 2 was released for the Game Boy Advance in late 2005. It is a 2D platformer rather than a 3D one, due to the rather limited GBA hardware.
The game has a 3D playing field similar to 'beat-em-up' titles like Golden Axe, with Pac-Man being able to walk in all four directions, but the game is still primarily 2D in terms of artwork. Levels are rather lengthy compared to other GBA titles, taking about twenty minutes each to complete. Instead of a save feature, the game used a password system, a rarity in games released since the 90s.
Aside from its many gameplay differences, the game also features many glitches, errors, and inconsistencies. No extra arcade games appear within this release, despite being credited on the copyright screen. Three Galaxian mazes appear, but there are four Galaxians to collect total - the final one does nothing, though a text box appears stating a new maze was unlocked. In level 3, a red ghost is frozen, despite nearby ghosts behaving normally. Players also report difficulty with determining the distance of objects.
Home Ports
- Game Boy Advance
- GameCube
- PlayStation 2
- Xbox (North America only)
- Windows PC
The PlayStation 2 version was the first to be released, which was shortly followed by nearly identical ports for GameCube and Xbox. The Player's Choice GameCube version was bundled with Pac-Man Vs.. As previously mentioned, the Game Boy Advance version is completely different than the other ports.
Later reprints of the game seemed to tone down the difficulty somewhat. Generally, versions under labels like "Greatest Hits" (PlayStation 2), "Player's Choice" (GameCube), and "Platinum Hits" (Xbox) contain the "easy" version, while copies without these labels are more difficult. The European PlayStation 2 version (which was released much later, in 2003) is also the "easy" version; and it is also the case for the PC release. The Japanese PS2-only release was made even easier, making very heavy alterations (such as removing the majority of bottomless pits).
Trivia
- The PlayStation 2 version of Pac-Man World 2 sold an estimated 1.2 million copies in the US alone, as of 2007.[1] When factoring in other regions and other gaming platforms, the complete sales are estimated to be around 2.5 million copies, which would make it the third best-selling console game in the Pac-Man series (only behind Pac-Man Collection and Atari 2600 Pac-Man).
- Blinky and Clyde's names are swapped in their respective boss battles (see Clyde and Blinky error).
- The Japanese version of the game makes use of a notable voice cast on a number of characters.
- Hikaru Midorikawa voices Blinky (referred to as Clyde).
- Tamotsu Nishiwaki voices Clyde (referred to as Blinky).
- Junko Noda voices Inky.
- Sara Nakayama voices Pinky.
- Daisuke Gori voices Spooky & Ghost Tree.
- Takeshi Aono voices Professor Pac-Man.
- Toru Inada voices Pac-Ranger.
- Pac-Man has many hidden animations that can be done by doing simple actions:
- Leaving him idle for long enough will put him to sleep.
- Tilting the joystick slightly will make him walk or sneak.
- For unknown reasons, some PC releases of the game have an ESRB rating of T [for Teen]; all other North American versions of the game, including other PC revisions, have an ESRB rating of E [for Everyone].
