Championship Edition 2 builds up pretty well as a Pac-Man maze game, although I found it the difficulty for this game in general to be a bit harder than I initially expected, which is why I prefer CE DX and the original CE over 2.

The Adventure mode was especially hell, considering the difficulty it requires and absurd unlock requirements for other things. The strict difficulty, the game not telling you that every level needs to be finished on the hardest difficulty in order to finish the mode, the immersive difficulty spike after area 6 are what just makes the Adventure mode frustrating to me honestly. I prefer playing the regular Score Attack mode over Adventure personally.

Despite the flaws, the visuals and music are gorgeous and some of the best Pac-Man's ever had.
