Pac-Man World Rally or Pac-Man Rally in Europe is a kart racer with Pac-Man and many others from Namco's catalog of classic characters, for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation Portable, and PC. The game's 15 race tracks are designed to contain a whole lot of jumps and such to keep racers on their toes. In addition, there are six battle arenas for multiplayer action. You will also be able to collect power-ups to attack opponents or gain an edge in the race, as well as Pac-Man's signature fruit pickups, which in Pac-Man World Rally unlock secret shortcuts. There is a total of 16 characters for the player to choose from (including Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Blinky, and the three main villains of the Pac-Man World trilogy).
Strangely there is no Xbox version of the game, even though there is a preview video included in Pac-Man World 3.

[edit] Music
The music in the game was created by Tommy Tallarico, Dweezil Zappa, Mike Rubino, Rod Abernethy and Charlie Malone. [1]. The scores are all based on the mood of each level but also contain hints of the original Pac-Man music cleverly woven throughout.
[edit] Reception
Despite all the innovative features the game implemented, the game generally received mediocre ratings from many online gaming sites and magazines due to the overall unoriginality of the Mario Kart-inspired design. This isn't Pac-Man's first racing game, as he, Ms. Pac-Man, and Blinky appeared in Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.
