#365DaysOfVGM Day 159:
Title Screen (Pac-Man World 3 [2005])
Listen closely, it’s a very ambient choice, to say the least! Although technically an excerpt of Bot Boneyard from the same game, it’s my absolute favorite part of the whole soundtrack. Such a foreboding yet mysterious atmosphere to communicate the game’s different tone perfectly, with the title screen’s view of clouds flying over a grassy mountain range, as if Pac Man is on an adventure much greater in scope than ever before!
I don’t remember the game being bad either, just a bit on the slow side, on top of featuring the endearing duo of a fully voice-acted Pac-Man and the gray ghost Orson, former foes in the 1st Pac-Man World turned allies to face a new villain! Just don’t expect the journey to be very serious, Pac-Man himself is what I’d call the wisecracking type with hints of sarcasm throughout. Considering how long its been since I played Pac-Man World 3 however, my opinion on the game might change for the better or worse upon replay.
On another topic, I guess Re-Pac from last year is bringing more attention to the other entries in the series, so it’d be interesting to see how they’d handle the 3rd entry, VAs and all, seeing as they made a new story event in Re-Pac to bridge the 1st and 3rd games together more nicely
