Gameplay
In ''Pac-Man World Rally'', players race as characters from the ''Pac-Man'' series and other characters from Namco's arcade games to be the first to win. On every track, there are item boxes that players pick up and use their weapons to attack their opponents or help themselves out. As a player performs a powerslide, a bar will appear next to the speedometer. Once it's full, the player will then be able to use a Guardian, which temporarily shields them from all attacks. Additionally, there are Pac-Dots that, once collected, fill the Pac-Meter. Once its full, the player can transform into the Pac-Mobile to turn the other racers into ghosts. Once a ghost is chomped, the racer will not move for a few moments. The main game of ''Pac-Man World Rally'' has four racing modes, two of which are exclusive to the PlayStation Portable version: *Circuit Mode: The main game where players race across four tracks for the most points. *Time Trial: A single-player mode where the player is tasked with getting the fastest time possible on the track of their choice. *Quick Race: A single race mode. *Versus: Two to four players race on a selected track without computer-controlled drivers. In addition to racing, ''Pac-Man World Rally'' has five Battle modes, each with their own objectives: *Deathmatch: Players compete to get a specified number of kills, with them gaining a point for each opponent killed while losing one if they are killed themselves. *Free For All: Players compete for the most points within the allotted time. As with Deathmatch, players gain points for defeating their opponents and losing one if they are defeated themselves. *Last Kart Driving: Players eliminate each other to be the last one standing. *Binge: Players pick up fruit that appear in the arena and must be the one to have the most fruit when time runs out. However, if a player is defeated, they will lose half of the fruit in their possession. *Classic: Players pick up the Pac-Dots around the arena and win by having the most after the specified number of rounds. The Pac-Mobile can also be used to attack opponents. Unlike the racing modes, Battle mode has fruit-shaped weapons that players use to attack each other. Health crates restore the damage the player took, and the Guardian crates temporarily protect them from all attacks.Reception
