Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, also known in Japan as Pac-World[lower-alpha 1][3] is a 3D platform video game based on the TV series of the same name. The console and PC versions were developed by Monkey Bar Games and the 3DS version was developed by Inti Creates. Both versions were published by Namco Bandai Games.
On March 1, 2014, Bandai Namco announced a sequel called Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2.[4][5]
Plot[]
The game begins with Pac-Man and his friends walk into Sir Cumference's lab. Three golden orbs are on a table, and while Sir C is explaining what they are to Pac-Man, four ghosts from the netherworld (Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde) come and tell Pac-Man that Pacopolis is under attack by the forces of Betrayus, king of the netherworld. They do so to steal the Frigidigitator, a device Sir C made for when Betrayus would make another heat-wave device like the one from Season 1's "Betrayus Turns the Heat Up".
