@@robbiewalker2831 The 2d one got prettier graphics and more exciting gameplay, the other is a massive downgrade, but keeps being fun. (Just noot as fun as 1996)
What got me in this game is how the ghosts' "real" names changed and how Blinky and Clyde swapped colours for whatever reason. That said, I had the GBA port of this game and loved it.
I found it weird that blinky and clyde changed names from the mid-90s up intil the late 2000s, around the first few years of the xbox 360 and pacman ce
@@robbiewalker2831 that is true, but Clyde also sounds like the one that stands out the most (doesn't end with "ky"), and Clyde is the ghost that kinda goes at his own pace, not bothering himself with pacman or his surroundings (in contrast to the rest of the ghosts), so I can see why Clyde would suit better for the orange one
@@ChenEpicGray If the name "Clyde" was to stand out from the Ghosts whose names end with "ky" I still think the name fits more with the leader. After all, this name confusion actually started with the Pac-Man Cartoon, which turns the Orange Ghost into the leader, rather than a mook, because of his name.
Woah, I'd heard about a ghost called Kinky, but I never knew he could merge with the other ghosts and give them extra abilities! He also seems to act as a surrogate Power Pellet in case you run out of actual ones in the current maze. I also like those capsule power-ups that do various things, like the one that traps the ghosts in the centre for a brief moment. It's such a shame that they overhauled Pac-Man Arrangement from 2005 onwards and left poor Kinky in limbo along with other forgotten ghosts like Sue, Orson and that green jumping ghost from Pac-Mania. The remake's soundtrack isn't a patch on the arcade soundtrack, either. Still, I do also like that power-up that generates a mirror image of Pac-Man and allows you to clear mazes more quickly.
Shame. Arcade version was so fun and gba version gave so many memores! f*ck the 2005 remake Bring 1996 back! BTW the green ghost name is funky and they arent forgotten they appear in pac man 256 and in the sandbox evolution
I think they are both good except for the removal of 2P :( This goes for all the arrangement games the originals had 2P and the updated versions as seen on virtual arcade do not.
Pac-Man Arrangement is a 1996 remake to Pac-Man with updated sprites just like Pac Mania (i think Pac Mania was early 90s game despite released in 1987 as the last), while 3D version came out in 2005 was started for PSP and then XBOX 360/PS3/Windows but lack of re-worked such as ray tracing effect or re-released to 8th gen or 9th gen console.
I grew up with the GBA version; easily the best PAC-MAN to play in long sessions. But… what are those 3D versions supposed to be? It lost the point of what makes Arrangement special.
tbh i have a huge soft spot for the gba version, its the one i grew up with as a kid :> i will add, hearing the ost not being all crunchy is strange to say lol :D
This game (the original version) is in the first place of my ranking about most modern looking old games. It's a 1996 game that still holds up in graphics and sound and I really thought it was a 2001 game before I looked it up. Second is Tetris & Dr. Mario: a game that, unlike Pac-Man Arrangement, looks old but it's trying it best to replicate modern songs. The Mix Match theme sounds like something coming out of a 3DS or a Wii. The third one is Pac-Man Championship DX because I refuse to belive that is a 2010 game, when 2010 games went all "relaxing elevator music and we're starting to make Internet a big thing!" This look like a 2016 game at least. Even the original CE looks newer than 2010, maybe 2013/4/5, and it was actually made in 2007!!!!
There is only one Pac-Man Arrangement, and that’s the arcade original. Seriously, the 90s Namco Arrangements were peak soul. This one you guys can play via Pac-Man Museum+; go get it-
Oh wow! Now Pac-Man Arrangement is here! I remembered how you used the GBA version in the original Pac-Man Comparison video! Now that I think about it... I played Pac-Man 99 on my switch this weekend!
Your wish is granted as it will be part of Pac-Man Museum +, apparently. Just be patient as it will arrive around the first quarter of this year (which is 2022).
The PS2 version I grew up with chopped off the intro of the level music for some reason. For the longest time I was convinced I was misremembering it but nope, there it is
And it's interesting that the Sixth generation console versions essentially use the source quality audio of it's arrangement. Maybe Namco just lost the master audio to the original arcade version.
If you're referring to the Switch Namco Museum, it's actually Pac-Man Vs. that was included. I know one of the mazes in Pac-Man Vs. uses the World 1 track from Arrangement as its music.
I have to admit the original is the best, it has a decent and good OST, and has good visuals and gameplay, it was the first game in my Namco Museum game on the ps2 I played, it served as a good spinoff or sequel, and sadly, I didn't like the psp, i though it was a remaster or remake but it turned out to be a whole other thing
Kinda sad that the PS2, GC, and Xbox versions are based off the Gameboy Advance version because they could have sounded like the Arcade version and became the definitive versions.
Kiro is Japanese for yellow, but the localizers seem like they couldn't think of anything that has to do with yellow and rhyme with "-inky" in English.
@@PKSuperStar256 Not to mention the way it fuses with the other ghost + their transformation apperences. Some would find it "Kinky" I mean hell, Pinky turns into a bunny. And Blinky (Red) turns into a big buff bull. Clyde (Orange) turns into inflation fanart, and I have no idea what the hell Inky is.
what sucks more is that the psp version is 2 players and that has not been replicated ever since! So annoying...its pretty fun having a buddy like that. This is the best version of pac man imo
@EurasiaM11922911 Da arcade version has Multiplayer as well, is you slow? Amd dat 2005 version of Pac-Man Arrangement is not nor has it ever been or will be da best especially compare to Arrangement 96 and even Pac-Mania
The sprites are far more expressive in the 1996 original, than the lifeless models of the PSP version. The 1996 version also had unique gimmicks to shake up the gameplay rather than just making a plain remake of pac man, which is the PSP version.
I'd say the PSP version should have been branded as something like "PAC-MAN REMIX" (like the iOS version) instead of arrangement since they're two different games. I prefer the original arcade version anyway. As good as the psp version is, I just don't think it holds a candle to the arcade original.
I preferred the first three since they maintained such a great soundtrack, mechanics and overall vibe. The PSP and so on lose that nostalgic touch and the sound effects are way too distracting, the arcade sounds just didn't fit right (Insert coin sound for the waka waka especially). I also grew up playing this co-op on Namco Museum for PS2.
my favortite verson of pacman I wish that namco would do more of this with pacman and their other titles instead of making cash grab versions of pacman
