'''Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures''' is a | '''Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures'', known in Japan as {{nihongo|'''Hello! Pac-Man'''|ハロー! パックマン}}, is a side-scrolling [[puzzle]] game with [[action-adventure]] elements. It was produced and published by [[Namco]] for the [[SNES]] and [[Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis/Mega Drive]] systems, and was released on [[April 6]], [[1994]] by [[Namco]]. It is the sequel to [[Pac-Man]], but the only thing it has in common is the game's characters. It is based loosely on previous games in the Pac-Man series (mostly [[Pac-Land]]), and also appears to contain certain elements from the animated series. However, its gameplay differs greatly from the maze games that comprise the majority of the games in the series. | ||
The player assumes a first person view of the world, a side scrolling environment, in which everything must be manipulated through the use of a sling shot. This style of gameplay, completely unique even today, allows Pac-Man to move about freely within the game while events become affected by the player. For instance Pac-Man may see something on screen, become excited and run to it where some unfortunate event takes place damaging or killing him; the player however can affect the situation by simply pelting Pac-Man with a rock, thus diverting his attention and saving him from the calamity. | Most notably, this is a non-traditional game in which players control Pac-Man through the actions of a narrator's like perspective - as if you, the viewer, have presence within the game. In a way the gameplay bridges the fourth wall by allowing the player to use a sling shot to shoot at objects in Pac-Man's world.

==Story== | |||
The game centers around Pac-Man as he sets out to complete a series of tasks for his family. The player must first help Pac-Man find milk for his baby daughter. After accomplishing this, Pac-Man is tasked with going to the mountains to pick a flower for Lucy's birthday. His third task is to retrieve Pac-Jr's stolen guitar. In the final segment of the game, Pac-Man watches a news segment in which the ghosts are stealing gum from children all over the city, when the Ghost Witch of Netor takes over the broadcast and tells Pac-Man that her Gum Monster is nearly complete. He sets off to work his way through the abandoned factory where the monster is being created. | |||
