Pac-Man has just turned twenty five years old! Mrs. Pac baked a cake to celebrate, but before Pac-Man could enjoy the cake, he is whisked away by Orson, who was once Pac-Man's enemy, but is now his friend. Orson needs his help: an evil scientist named Erwin has been using taking energy from the Spectral Realm to power robots in order to cause mayhem in Pac-Land. The two worlds are now at risk of being destroyed, so it's up to Pac-Man to save the day.

In the game, you guide Pac-Man through various places, running, jumping, and gobbling up pellets, fruit, trophies, and lots of other things. There are lots of monsters to fight, from robots to ghosts. Pac-Man is able to use lots of attacks, from the 'butt bounce' where he jumps and stomps on enemies using his bottom to the 'rev roll' where he's like Sonic the Hedgehog and goes tearing into enemies at top rolling speed.

The controls are pretty easy, but you may find yourself getting upset at the awful camera control when you've jumped into lava, slid right into lasers, or fallen off a platform way too much.

While the gameplay may be fun at first, Pac-Man World 3 soon gets quite boring, as though you're going through the same thing over and over again. The graphics and sound in the game aren't very good, and while the voices for each character are quite nice, they become annoying very soon. The camera makes the game a lot less fun.

This Game is Rated E for Everyone
