A remake of Pac-Man
Pac-Man Arrangement is a 2005 video game, initially released as part of the Namco Museum Battle Collection compilation for the PSP. It shares its name with a very similar Pac-Man game from a decade prior - to avoid confusion, some later re-releases were renamed to Pac-Man Remix.

This remake of the original Pac-Man Arrangement is equivalent to Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. It's the same game... but they ruined the art direction.
pac man arrangement if it was… idk I wouldn’t say BAD but it feels like a cheap mobile game which is impressive because it released a few years before becoming a cheap mobile game
Not as good as the 1996 version. The visuals look cheap and it goes on for too long.
I was pretty impressed with this as my child self was dabbling with it on a phone, appreciating how it deviated from the traditional maze formula.
Then I found out there was a much better game that was also called Pac-Man Arrangement.

It's PAC-MAN Arrangement! ...Again. Except this PSP entry is actually an entirely different game, just with an identical title. ...But why, though?
Title confusion aside, this is a very enjoyable romp, even though it doesn't hold a candle to the excellent arcade entry. The mazes are fun to navigate, the extra gimmicks add some new spice to the experience, and the boss fights cap off each world quite nicely, though the blander presentation and forgettable music definitely don't do this one any favors.
Again, it's nowhere near as good as Arrangement '96, but it is an enjoyable way to kill two hours regardless.

I think this is the console version of pac-man arrangement that they ported to namco museum virtual arcade on the 360? There are too many damn games called "pac-man arrangement", it's a mess. I do recall it being an overall solid maze game, doesn't do anything crazy memorable like adventures in time does but also isn't lazy like quest for the golden maze. There's like a linear world of levels that each have their own gimmicks and there's even some boss fights thrown in there. I do remember the elevator levels being kinda annoying tho. If you like maze-based pac man games, you are prob gonna have a solid time here, the whole game is like an hour long and maze games are pretty hard to mess up so like yeah
