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.

Not as good as the 1996 version. The visuals look cheap and it goes on for too long.

[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 it as a part of Pac-Man Museum+. Super smooth controls, appealing graphics, and an amazing soundtrack. The unlimited continues that this port offers makes the game a quick but enjoyable reinterpretation of the arcade classic.


The slower pace makes this not as fun as the arcade version, but still, it's Pac-Man Arrangement. You can't have a bad time with it!

Jogado no Pac-Man Museum+. "Nós temos Pac-Man Arrangement em casa" é o que define essa versão. Muito inferior à versão de arcade em praticamente todos os aspectos.

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.

This went crazy tbh. A really fun spin on the Pac-Man formula, it looks nice, and is short and sweet.

While not being a quite ambitious game compared to Arrangement '96, Arrangement 2005 still manages to be a fun game; nice music, somewhat good graphics, pretty neat mazes and mechanics and more.

The best maze-based Pac-Man game (so far, haven't played OG Arrangement yet), no questions asked.

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

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.

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

It's alright. It's nowhere near as good as it's arcade counterpart. It isn't even the same game despite sharing the same name.

A somehow downgrade from its arcade counterpart that slows down every action and enemy, presents a clay-like low framerate and sluggish presentation and it's only saved by a somewhat acceptable soundtrack. And yes, the final boss can glitch out a couple of times, so it's not as well implemented.

Yeah this version of arrangement is ugly and plays nowhere near as good as the original arrangement. It added shitty boss fights which is not a benefit.

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.

Pac-Man Arrangement, not to be confused with Pac-Man Arrangement (1996), is a fine game for sure. While I prefer the other version over this, it's an okay substitute and it really comes down to preference.

it's just pac-man but with a glossy, shinier texture :)

Pretty underrated entry, not as interesting as some of the others though, but it's still solid and had a nice variety.
