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 Museum+ 9/14]
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.

Played on Pac-Man Museum+
It's alright. It pales in comparison to its 1996 arcade predecessor massively, as it's simplistic 3D graphics aren't as nice looking as the great pixel art of the arcade game, it's music is lesser, it's gameflow feels just a little off, and it's significantly easier, I was able to complete the full game on my first try ever with no continues.
Despite all those flaws, its still Pac-Man, and is still a good time overall.

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
this shit was like if they took everything fun and likeable about the original and made it worse! it's still not the worst thing in the world, i like a pac-man game with real levels over endless mazes and the bosses were kinda neat but it just looks gross and has very little charm compared to the original.
