1980 was the year that Pac-Man exploded onto the videogame scene and has never looked back. Since then, the yellow dot-muncher has starred in countless games and has been the inspiration behind many different products, from breakfast cereal to air fresheners. In Pac-Man World 3, it is up to you as Pac-Man to save the world from the evil genius Erwin. With a desire to rule the world, the latter has created a machine that can penetrate into the world of the Ghosts - the Spectral Realm! All known life is in great danger because the Spectral Realm is collapsing into the real world and the consequences will be devastating. Pac-Man will meet many old acquaintances on his journey to save the planet, and may even have to turn some of his old foes into allies. Pac-Man World 3 combines contemporary 3D platform game mechanics with much-loved traditional Pac-Man principles. The game also features well-known Pac-Man staples like Pac-Dots, Pac-Chains, fruit and Power Pellets, while also offering new elements such as power-up smoothies, a Pac-trometer and several special moves. Gamers are also given the opportunity to play as either Clyde or Pinky, who each have their own unique abilities.
